After a lengthy absence, Alone in the Dark is back and ready to scare a new generation of gamers. But is it any good? Reviews have gone live for the remake of the original game, and so far, the reception has been lukewarm. Critics have praised the eye for detail and authenticity in this remake of the beloved horror game, but have also criticized Alone in the Dark for its janky controls, pointless stealth, and poor puzzle design.
“This isn’t Alone in the Dark’s first revival attempt, and it’s probably not its last, but it isn’t the one that will put the series’ name in the same breath as the all-time greats it originally helped inspire,” Mark Delaney wrote in GameSpot’s Alone in the Dark review.
On GameSpot’s sister site Metacritic, Alone in the Dark currently has a Metascore of 64 from 63 reviews, which translates to “mixed or average” at best. While it looks likely that Alone in the Dark won’t be this year’s most memorable horror game, fright fans can look forward to several other spooky titles this year. Pacific Drive, a roguelite trek across the Pacific Northwest, is already out, while the rest of the year is headlined by Still Wakes the Deep, a remake of Silent Hill 2, and the PT-influenced Luto.
