Bendy and the Dark Revival

game looks great! but just like the first game they have a huge problem in saving and loading files. If you ever play this game, expect to be forced to complete it in one go, because if you manually save anything, trust me on this. It wont EVER load again for you, and you'll be forced to start from square one

"I'm seeing FREAKING ink demons" Audrey said, before being followed up by a cutscene where she asks if someones stuck and then goes in to help. the player is given control again, and moves forward to press E to help him. another cutscene starts of her banishing the ink around him and he slides down the pipe. the player is given control again, to not even walk TWO STEPS forward and press E to go jump down the pipe, leading to another cutscene. this game is such a mess omfg

I know this game is suppose to be hard and i do like it but sometimes i have to go look up a video on what i have to do.I mean a ballerina box sitting on a table i have to go and inspect it? how am i suppose to know that with out looking it up?

Felt like bioshock with its own story and theme. Gets a tad repetitive but its just enough to hold your attention to get through the story. Graphics are okay for cartoon. I think main reason this game is great is the story.

Great atmosphere and story, but the gameplay drags it down. Pros: Creepy, immersive world with cool 1930s cartoon horror vibes. The lore and story are deeper and more interesting this time. Cons: Combat is clunky and unsatisfying. Stealth sections are frustrating and unclear. The Ink Demon feels more like an annoying pest than a terrifying threat. Verdict: If you're a fan of the Bendy universe and care about the story, you'll probably enjoy it. But if you're looking for smooth, polished survival horror gameplay, this one might disappoint you. Wait for a sale. ⭐ 6/10

Nope. If you want to play a Bendy game, get Bendy and the Ink Machine instead. It's way better. This game relies on cheap jump scares and unkillable enemies (i.e., the Butcher Gang) whose only purpose is to drain your health. They're not scary or challenging, just irritating. The maps are confusing. I get that the game wants exploration, but getting lost every five minutes isn't good level design. Money is basically useless. You only spend it on food to recover the health those immortal enemies keep taking. The Ink Demon is the laziest horror monster ever. Instead of actually chasing you, the game just warns you to hide or die and reload. Combat is painfully shallow. It's just endless left-clicking. No parry, no block, no dodge, no combos, just spam attacks until everything dies. The only ability in this game is only useful for platforming, not combat. 2/10!

mechincally better than the first but everything else... lack luster. The combat is confusing (no block or dodge?) stealth is just annoying and confusing. horror levels below average. story is okay I guess. but the first game had moments on my first playthrough Were I was terrified and has a better protoganist overall. not this game. Honestly just buy the first one and play that. and then ignore the existaence of this sequel. 3/10

If I had a better memory, I'd go as far as to say this is the most disappointed I've ever felt playing a game in my life. But I'm sure I could say that for other games, I just don't know which. The thing that pissed me off the most was seeing people say this was "Basically Bendy, but if you added Bioshock into the mix", because that's either a purposefully spread, evil lie or the dumbest take someone could ever give on a game. I genuinely wannae know: what Bioshock did these people play? When you say something like that, the expectations you set are of a resource management action game, where you can take advantage of your surroundings. And this is certainly, definitely, absolutely not what this game is. The only thing that slightly resembles Bioshock's gameplay loop are the vending machines. But don't expect them to be full of charm, play songs and voice lines like the ones in that game, or even serve as something more than a healing station. Yes, they're just healing stations. Not ammo or gun shops, because, news flash: the game never gives you a gun, ever. Which makes sense. If it did, the game would be even more boring than it already is, for reasons I'll get to later. But Ill take the blame for immediately feeling disappointed. Unfairly so, cos I didnae hear this "Bendy and The Dark Revival is like Bioshock" ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ from just a single person, but I digress. Now, after all I just said, I think The Dark Revival deserves some credit. Presentation wise, it excels. The style is, dare I say, timeless, and unlike anything I've ever seen. I really, really like this 1930's aesthetic and the game knocks it out of the park, with it being it's best part, I'd say. I saw some people saying the human faces looked off, but I could get passed that. They're not spot on, but they work. The voice acting was also great, nothing felt out of place, corny or uninspired like in many instances in the first game. The story is way easier to follow when you compare it to the first game's, and I even found myself feeling attached to some characters. And I can safely say, the narrative kept me hooked from start to finish, even if I didn't know exactly what was going on. But that's about it for the good points I'd give to this game. The gameplay is insanely lacklustre and boring, with nothing but a swing attack you can perform with the single weapon the game gives you: a pipe. And when I say "nothing but", I mean it. There's no dodging, heavy attack, blocking or anything. I wouldnae mind if it was a horror game completely designed around stealth and chases. One of my favourite games of all time, Still Wakes the Deep, does exactly that and that doesn't stop me from like it. But when the game actively wants you engage with combat, to fight enemies with your pipe, the least that warrants is a combat system that's fun in some capacity, and they couldnae even give us that. I'd even say the game gaslights you into thinking this is gonnae be some "choose your own playstyle" by giving you the choice of upgrading your health, stamina or ability cooldown. But actually, from start to finish, all your options to approach enemies are: hide, stealth around then or awkwardly hit them with your pipe. It feels like they thought "oh, we don't wannae be just a stealth game, we're better than that, so lets give them something to fight back with" and it's just not good. Not fun, not immersive, not anything special or even worth your while. And all that happens in its clunky, boring glory in a horror game, so you're at least feeling threatened, aye? No. There are two elements of the gameplay loop that resemble a horror game's. Ill explain this one first, cos it's simpler and doesn't nearly piss me off as much as the next. Throughout the game, a text will pop up in your screen saying something like "the Ink Demon is coming", and, to counter such a "formidable foe", you got to find a closet or barrel you can hide in. Literally, that's all you gottae do. And then he's gone, until the RNG decides it's his time again. It's just a bother at best, not serving any purpose besides than to make you say "for ♥♥♥♥'s sake, here he comes again, let me find a place to hide" or "Damn it, I couldnae find a place to hide, now Im gonnae die and load in my save a few minutes back. This sucks". But that's the least offensive part of these random events. The second one is a secondary character. A fourth antagonist for the in-universe Bendy show. They even had a tape of a girl saying how excited she was to create and introduce this new character. So I thought to myself "Oh, a new antagonist. She looks fun, I like her design. I wonder what she'll do". And, I kid you not, all she does is She shows up at random; Screams; Tries to hit you for 1 or 2 seconds; And vanishes. I was 1930's work whistle angry when I realised that was all she was meant to do. What a waste. As for the "price you're paying for hours you're playing" rate: I got the game on sale, for less than 2 pounds and finished the main story in 5/6 hours. Not bad. But I most certainly wouldn't pay full price for it. I know there's a good story under all this ♥♥♥♥ show, but I truly, wholeheartedly, would only recommend it if you're curious about how the Bendy games are doing nowadays, in which case, I believe you're not worried if the game's gonnae be good or not.

[h1] Пустышка [/h1] [hr][/hr] Никакущая, если даже первая часть вызывала иногда хоть какую-та жуть, это игра не страшна совсем, зачем-то сделали голос Бенди, который настолько типичный злой и "криповый", что это вызывает зевоту, остальные персы никакие, гг хотя бы разговаривает, и на том спасибо, а вот Генри(гг первой части)... я не оч понимаю зачем. Сам по себе сиквел Бенди не нужен, Генди одолел Бенди в конце, и вдруг оказывается что нет, что у нас тут таймлупы-зал*пы, и Генри лох который потерял всяческий смысл, конченый и клишированный злодей Уиллсон, который только раздражает своей манерой общения и поступками. гг: "Почему ты не мог по нормальному мне всё рассказать" Уиллсон: "Ты бы мне не поверила" Господи, какая херня, идите в жопу с этим тропам [hr][/hr] Но вот главный плюс игры, то что она видно что стало стоит дороже, видно капусты не пожалели, потому повсеместно, катсцены с какими-либо предметами, прикольными действиями персов и анимаций в катсценах и геймплеи, а в остальном геймплей сосёт. Враги слепые, прям вот дебилы 3-ей степени, у которых угол обзора глаза в глаза, сам Бенди лох, он и в первой части был лохом, но как-будто его ИИ был лучше, хотя это скорее уже моя выдумка, но он хотя бы в первой части действительно появлялся, и ты мог прямо попасться ему в лапы, в сиквеле же разрабам было лень делать его анимации и ии во время брождения гг, потому вот тебе типо неожиданный скример в экран и гейм овер [hr][/hr] 4/10 очень плохо, прям аж удивительно, даже хардкор чмошный, враги тупые и слепые, ресурсов дофига, сами враги даже без прокачки убивают тебя быстро токо если в толпе будут, да и что за мода, после определённых действий нагонять на гг толпу из 3-ёх врагов на тебя?!

Only on discount. Even then, it doesn't feel worth it that much, because at times it's difficult to understand where to go. Stealth is supposedly supposed to be the main way of getting around but it's near impossible with so many enemies and getting out of any hiding spot is somehow THAT loud that every enemy in the vicinity of 5-10 meters KNOWS. An unreasonably barebones "combat" system. I did want to like the game.
