Deadlight

Este juego es impresionante. Lo que más me llamó la atención es la ambientación y la desolación que envuelven al protagonista. La frutilla del postre es leer el diario de Randall con la música del menú de fondo, te parte al medio, es una experiencia aparte del juego que te lo hace disfrutar de una forma totalmente diferente. El detalle de poder jugar a los minijuegos también es genial para crear la atmósfera de un juego que es simplemente hermoso <3

De base, je ne suis pas le public cible, les jeux en 2 dimensions ont tendance à me sembler frustrant, mais ce n'est pas ce qui m'a le plus gêné dans ce jeu. Bien que le fait que les autres personnages aient droit à une troisième dimension et que Randall se sente obligé de faire des acrobaties plutôt que de monter les escaliers en arrière plan. Je vais donc résumer les 3 éléments qui m'ont déplu par ordre d'importance. le hasard : On commence avec un très gros point, deadlight est hasardeusement injuste. Certaines (rares) scènes sont passable avec de la chance avec des inputs identiques je pense notamment à un passage de glissade dans les égouts où il est nécessaire de se baisser ou à la scène de récupération du pistolet pour la deuxième fois. Ce problème devient encore plus gênant une fois combiné avec le suivant. la lenteur : Autant sur les animations du personnage que sur le temps de réapparition. Sur ce point, j'ai passé sur certaines scènes plus de temps à attendre le respawn qu'à jouer. Pour un trial and error, la réapparition est simplement trop lente. les contrôles frustrants : vous êtes-vous déjà retrouvé avec une meute de zombies à vos trousses avec pour seul espoir de survie un rebord inaccessible pour ces monstres. Ce sera parfois le cas dans ce jeu, et parfois vous ressemblerez à un bébé sauteur à essayer d'agripper désespérément cette corniche car vous n'êtes pas exactement en dessous. Je passe aussi rapidement sur les sauts parfois hasardeux long ou courts et sur la difficulté à se suspendre à un rebord sans en tomber. Pour terminer sur une note plus positive, la direction artistique est agréable. Le système de jeu simple sans inventaire le rend très accessible. Enfin certains passages de courses au milieu des zombies sont très plaisants.

On my LONG list of backlog games, Deadlight has been patiently waiting for its opportunity to shine. That opportunity came with my purchase of the GPD Win Max 2 (trust me I could do a whole review on that right now but prolly not the time...). I had forgotten the premise of Deadlight and quite honestly couldn't even recall why I bought it (cue Steam Summer/Winter sale advertisement), but there I was, gaming hybrid laptop in hand (seriously though, look it up, it's incredible!), ready to knock a peg off the ever scrolling Steam library... annnnnnnd.... here we go! First thing to note is how good Deadlight looks on a current gaming device! I mean sure my laptop isn't a Threadripper/RTX 4090 combo but damn it looks good with the settings cranked up! The side scrolling format really allows focus on environments and details, I found myself stopping quite often to admire the scenery as I traipsed through a war torn, zombie infested Seattle. Lighting, shadows and movement animations were all spot on and complimented by the still frame cut scenes that drove the narrative along. The sound was fitting although I found Randall's narration of his adventure quite stale and stereotypical. Background music was quiet, tense and at no point overbearing. Gameplay was fantastic and really dragged me into some of the tense moments, requiring a combination of basic puzzles and quick reflex jumps, gunshots and zombie beatings with an incredibly useful firefighter's axe! I loved the effort to make a 2D world feel alive and explorable! Deadlight reminded me very much of a side scrolling version of TLOU, which is by no means a bad thing. The writing obviously pales in comparison but the vibe sets itself well and for an approximate 3.5 hour playthrough Deadlight does a fantastic job of immersing the player into Randall's plight. Solid 8/10 for the one. Thanks for reading!

Vamos por partes: El juego en términos generales está bien aunque hay cosas que se pudieron pulir o al menos parchear. Lo Mejor: Ambientación y la narrativa Banda sonora Dificultad ajustada para este tipo de juegos El detalle de los extras de las consolas antiguas y demás coleccionables, que lo hacen rejugable. Que este desarrollado por una empresa española. Lo Peor: Duración (se hace muy corto). Es un juego que haciendo solo lo principal, sin buscar los extras, como mucho te lo acabas en 5 horas (incluso en menos). Que esté ambientado en un apocalipsis zombie está bien, y cuando el juego salió era un tema de moda, pero claro, se explotó hasta la saciedad y ahora, 10 años después, se ve muy trillado. La historia, aunque bien narrada, peca de clichés del género muy predecibles. A veces se bugea cuando lo pausas, y esto es desesperante, porque si no se lo han corregido en 10 años, es que no se lo van a corregir. Los controles: A veces desesperan, sobre todo en situaciones que tienes que hacer a toda leche, y responde fatal, dando un golpe en la direccion que no es, o quedandose trabado sin saltar o apuntando sin disparar aunque le estes dando repetidas veces al gatillo. En fin, que siendo un buen juego que a mi me ha entretenido mucho, se me ha hecho corto y predecible. Con unos controles algo tocabolas y bugs mejorables. Lo recomiendo eso si, siempre que lo pilleis en oferta. a dia de hoy, después de 10 años, no se debería pagar más de 5 euros por el.

A mio avviso un giochino realizzato senza troppe pretese, ma con la giusta onestà: lo studio spagnolo di Tequila Works è riuscito a realizzare il [i]suo[/i] prodotto. Nessun picco di qualità, nessuna eccellenza nella trama o nel gameplay. Ma alla fine della fiera tutto gira senza problemi e senza brutte sorprese. Anche in fatto di meccanica non fa urlare al miracolo: si tratta di un platform vecchia scuola, nonostante la grafica ammicca alla modernità, a rigoroso scorrimento orizzontale e condito con alcuni rompicapi (nulla di che, in effetti). Di fatto non ha molto neanche del survival, se non l'indovinata scarsità di munizioni che costringe sistematicamente a valutare gli scontri diretti ed a preferire un approccio defilato. Purtroppo la trama è affidata alla solita apocalisse zombie-ma-non-troppo. E gli zombie mi fanno lo stesso effetto di un chilo di fonduta di cioccolato con fichi, nocciole e biscotti. Sempre. Gradevole atmosfera in 2D che ha qualche sbavatura di interazione (ma nulla di particolarmente brutto), si difende molto bene grazie al sapiente sfruttamento dell’Unreal Engine. Da prendere solo come passatempo.

Prince of Persia (clasico) + The Walking Dead = Deadlight
