    The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me, the fourth installment of the series and the conclusion of the first season, uses a serial killer to tell a story in which death has value.

    The Devil in Me is the most assured entry yet in The Dark Pictures Anthology, even if it doesn't produce quite enough scares during its seven hour runtime.

    The Devil in Me isn’t the best game in The Dark Pictures Anthology, but it isn’t bad at all. It’ll keep you entertained all the way through, and it's a brilliant laugh to play alongside others - the scares that play out when you have a room full of people are second to none.

    While staying true to The Dark Pictures franchise, The Devil in Me attempts to innovate by incorporating an inventory system and characters with real-world expertise. By taking on America's first serial killer, the game manages to instill an interesting vibe with its "Castle of Murders." Unfortunately, and although we are curious about the fate of each of the protagonists, the title struggles to convince completely. The story takes a long time to start, the pace is a little too slow – despite some nice finds – and we feel little empathy for the characters, stereotypical as possible. If we add a gameplay that accumulates clichés seen and reviewed, The Devil in Me does not have the content of The Quarry or even of a House of Ashes. Despite everything, the formula works thanks to the place inspired by a real event and a finale rich in tension.

    And one more to the list! Not trying to reinvent the formula of the previous games of its anthology, The Devil in Me is the annual guilty pleasure for fans of the genre. Supported by a relatively interesting cast and a gripping plot, this iteration follows the series's recipe. Unfortunately, there are no new ingredients and there is nothing to get excited about either, as the game is filled to the brim with glitches and technical problems, to the point where you end up preferring the dialogue scenes to actual gameplay.

    This is so far the worst of the serie. The story is kind of boring and very predictable. The worst tho is the glitches. Some voice glitchesThis is so far the worst of the serie. The story is kind of boring and very predictable. The worst tho is the glitches. Some voice glitches (switching from french to english all game long) , some mouvements glitch and even the heart beating was broken. The graphics are broken too, the characters have to emotions and their eyes are so weird. Dark pictures let me down for this one. That was not fun to play at all.

    - Predictable story
