i stumbled upon this game years ago but i forgot it over the years. now i played it and i have to say that it was a great experience, yea the story is short but it is very interesting. some times the gameplay feels clunky but it is not taking away from the experience. overall i liked the game the character is great filled with emotions. (Post Scriptum) in order not to loose your save and start all over again click chapters and go to the recent one that was automatically saved because i had to start the game 2 times from the beginning until i realized it!

Despite an earnest playtime of around 3 hours in my case, Deadlight managed to satisfy that itch. Deadlight isn't a bad game. It is a finesse game. You have to respect what it goes for, and it will respect you - a zombie Prince of Persia set in the 100+ days following the outbreak, in a very gritty Washington. The year is 1986; following a Canadian Park Warden expat attempting to find salvation there with his small group of survivors, also from across the north. This game definitely isn't for everyone. It has its flaws (instakill segments in running sequences), and some gripes with the parkour. However, it communicated it well in my playthrough, and was ultimately a satisfying experience, especially on sale. I did not expect the ending, but it got me there too. It is worth playing to hit that "comic/melodramatic" zombie game itch.

The game is nice I played it for quite a while. Loved the mechanics and and environment of the game is very nice. It has everything you want from a post apocalyptic world game however ,saving your progress system of the game could not be any worse. I play the episode for a while and when I wanna continue I lose all of my progress of that episode. You can restart the same episode but if you exit the game in the middle of an episode you just have to restart it and as far as I have observed there is no certain way to realize when episode is finishes and next starts. If there is a cutscene it is most likely the start of new episode and you can exit the game if you want. Other then this big issue the game is fine and fun.

One of those amazing cinematique platforms. Deadlight basically merges the gameplay of Prince of Persia with the setting from The Walking Dead. It's a genre that always seemed niche, no matter when, there's never a huge number of these games. Tomb Raider would eventually take it into 3D and most companies went after that. In Deadlight you play as Randall, a guy trying to find his wife and daughter in Seattle from the 80s. A virus was unleashed and now there's shadows everywhere, which is the fancy name for the zombies or walkers. They are not so slow and can actually pack a punch if you let them get close. The game is divided into 3 acts, with act 2 being about half of the whole game. Most of the gameplay involves running from place to place, blocking doorways, shooting locks, breaking down doors and fighting with shadows. Where the game shines though, is the occasional puzzles and challenging platforming sequences like running away on the roofs from a chopper shooting at you. Mind that the game is a very short experience, it can easily be beaten in under 2 hours and there's no bosses nor any particular difficult section. There are items spread around each screen that serve as little lore on the world, like ids from people who died, or strange graffitis on walls. This special Director's cut edition adds a new survival mode which is just a small location in the game where you have to fight against infinite shadows. The new achievements for survival are actually quite hard. Another great news, is that they finally removed that bugged achievement from the original release that required to have a friend on the leaderboard. Deadlight is fun while it lasts, don't expect a very creative plot. It follows the basics of the genre and features a plot twist that was very easy to guess. The nightmare mode is still not recommended. Playing through the full game (even with checkpoints on each act) without a single death is incredibly hard and sometimes the controls are not that tight. Only get on discount though, the game is not worth the price for its length.

Do you like anything related to zombie apocalypse? -Yes. Among so many other horror genres or categories. Prefers 2D platformer games? -Occasionally. Whenever I'm in the right mood for it. Likes hand drawing cutscenes than super duper expensive realistically detailed polygonal ones? -No problemo. As long as the plots great, why not. Want a game that etiher can make you eventually love it or even ragequit? -Well, that depends on the gamers I guess. Already played the original, but still craves for more of the original aka director's cut or reconditioned, reworked, remanufactured, reprogrammed, rebuilt, modernised, reformatted, reamplified, reorganized etc etc? -Eh, I don't mind playing any versions of the same game. So will you buy and play this game and tell it to other players? -If it is solid enough, then yeah. After all, no matter how good or bad a game is, there will always be both sides of the gamers. Those who enjoy and like it as it is. And also those who hates everything and everyone. *Click add to cart, then try the game. Not long after several weeks of playtesting, the interview continues* So what's your opinion about D:DC? -This game is surprisingly fun. There are some difficult levels and challenging situations on it. But for me personally, it's good enough; and I love the 80s vibe. Hopefully there will be another zombie apocalypse games with 60s and 70s era vibes. Last question. Anything to say for Tequila Works, Abstraction Games And Deep Silver? -Thanks a bazillion terabytes, for the dudes and dudettes involved on making this one from the ground up. Me likey! b(^_^)d
