Deadlight

The Game would have had quite more Potential. Unfortunately, as a Player, you often find yourself confronted with "Game design from Hell." Which, at least with me, has led to more Frustration than Game. In Principle, I have nothing against Trial & error passages in Games, provided they are well implemented. Unfortunately, they are rarely in Deadlight though, and the more you approach the End of the Game, the more troublesome it gets. In any Case, I personally wondered very often what the Developers thought in certain Places and sat partly head-shaking in front of the Monitor. In addition, the rather hairy control (at least with Gamepad) also provides many Moments of Frustration. You often inevitably feel reminded of Assassin's Creed. Unfortunately, these Main Criticisms also come to such an importance that the quite existing positive Characteristics of Deadlight cannot really be worn at all. Like the Look, which is quite coherent and a little reminiscent of "This War of Mine." The Story, while generic and typically "zombie apocalypse," is fine. Especially since the Game has been under its Belt for a few Years and the big Zombie Hype in 2018 is long gone. The Main Character is relatively cool, but also leaves something pale. Side Characters are virtually none and the few that exist do not matter more or less. But I don't think it's too bad either. Another, though very personal, plus is the Setting Seattle/Washington, as I just like the City and the State. As I said, something a shame about Deadlight. A Little more Care and Depth of Play and it would have become a rock Solid Sidescroller. In the End, however, I was even happy that the Playing Time was so short with not even five Hours and I was able to remove the Game from my "Already long in the Library and therefore still to play" list.
