    Alone in the Dark's promising atmosphere is let down by annoying and repetitive puzzles, poor combat and frequent glitches. There's a good game in there somewhere but you have to put up with a lot of frustration to find it.

    While true fans of the franchise might get a kick out of seeing a new take on an old story, Alone in the Dark is a tonal and functional mess that frustrates more than it entertains.

    Irrespective of what character you choose to play as, Alone in the Dark’s storytelling is strange, often failing to flesh out many characters, concepts, and subplots.

    Is not the great return that we expected, but it still being an interesting survival horror.

    We are delighted to welcome back a licence to which survival horror owes a great deal, if not everything. Despite the weight of time and a lack of originality in its very conventional gameplay, the title stands out thanks to the richness of its environments and the quality of its technical production. With a soundtrack and ambience that hit all the right notes, the studio manages to strike a chord of nostalgia and pleasure. THQ Nordic has succeeded in restoring the Alone in the Dark licence to its former glory. Edward Carnby can finally take a well-deserved retirement, without having to be ashamed of his last performance.
