For more than 20 years, all attempts to restart the series Alone in the Dark met with mixed reviews. It seems that this time the miracle also did not happen: the new game of the series receives very varied assessments in the press – both low, medium, and high.
At the time of writing, the statistics of Alone in the Dark 2024 is this:
We have chosen conclusions from three reviews with different estimates – below the average, average and higher average.
Eurogamer (2/5)
The sincere love of the https://winstler.uk/ developers for the source material is obvious: some zones of the derseto mansion boast of the same atmosphere and the same colors as in the original game. But this is not enough. Except for curious collection objects and obvious admiration for original games, Alone in the Dark Too amusing, too monotonous and too inseparable – so much that it is very distracting from amazing scenery and Hollywood actors.
Alone in the Dark It is not obliged to shine at all points – she does not have to have brilliant shooting, frightening design of monsters or complex puzzles. But if you put all this in the game, then make it at least work. These features should be felt important. There should not be such that the player is in horror from the enemy in the distance, not because he is scared, but because the main character will once again lose the opportunity to shoot at the right time.
And if the action-chorror with a bunch of puzzles offers the same puzzles, poor battles and practically no horror … what remains then? Unfortunately, even Hollywood actors are not able to overshadow significant shortcomings Alone in the Dark.

In the heart of the restart Alone in the Dark from Pieces Interactive There are too many drawbacks to recommend it without hesitation. But anyone who loves the gameplay of classic horror for survival should (at least a few patches after a few patches) get a relatively worthy pastime. The segments with the fighting are disgusting, but there are almost no horrors, but the gameplay with the solution of puzzles in the core of the game shines. This alone will help the game find an audience that is ready to love her.

As a horror for survival, the game shows himself with dignity. She made me carefully look around the corner and shift from foot to foot before opening the next door. I longed to get into another amazing location in search of Jeremy and get more details about his fate. And, most importantly, I became attached to difficult main characters and residents of the derseto mansion – strongly enough to pass the game a second time, although this was not required for this review. Pieces Interactive obviously hits stronger than its weight category.
The game makes you get nervous and has large plot ambitions. The best Alone in the Dark Since 1992.
