Directive 8020

Finished the game and overall I'd recommend it. The story had so much potential, but they didn't fully use it. But, I still had a good time and would definitely buy it again. 5/5.

Die Dark Pictures-Anthologie, geht in die schon fünfte Runde und spielt im Weltall. Ist grundgelungener Trash, mit viel Horror-Einfluss. Die Handlung ist manchmal etwas wirr und die Steuerung funktioniert auch nicht immer perfekt. Die die Vorgänger gut finden, können bedenkenlos zugreifen. Pro Gute Atmosphäre. Man kann die Zeit zurück drehen. Solide Länge. Contra Story manchmal wirr. Steuerung, funktioniert nicht immer gut.

Je pense qu'on est nombreux à avoir surestimé ce jeu en faisant confiance à la qualité des quatre épisodes précédents de The Dark Pictures : Anthology. Malheureusement, j'ai surtout eu l'impression d'avoir joué à un jeu de remplissage, fini à la va vite pour proposer une suite aux fans de la licence et apaiser les demandes. Mixage du son aux fraises, choix à l'impact carrément anecdotique, et j'ai trouvé le jeu excessivement déséquilibré entre les QTE qui manquent atrocement et les phases d'infiltration (répétitives, trop nombreuses et qui deviennent plus chiantes qu'autre chose à force). Je n'ai pas non plus réussi à m'attacher aux protagonistes tellement je les trouvais vides (et ça me désole de le dire, mais le doublage FR n'est vraiiiment pas convaincant...), parfois complètement stupides et de ce fait mal écrits et/ou développés. Je me réjouissais de plonger un peu dans de la S-F pour changer de mes goûts habituels, inspirée par Alien (avec des visuels organiques assez réussis pour certaines photographies du jeu), mais le reste n'a malheureusement pas suivi.

Really enjoyed playing this. First playthrough was done on survival and was great! Nearly got all scenes unlocked and it's really intriguing seeing different character combinations and how the roles change in each permutation. Sadly when looking at the branching tree of decisions during my first playthrough (I wanted to simply see what percentage of people chose my option) I did get some spoilers as to the fate of some of my characters (Anders in ep7 in particular). If survival is meant to have impactful decisions, I personally don't think I should be able to see the requirements needed to get a different outcome, that should firmly be in the normal mode where you can actually act on that information. Also the fact that each scene is linked to when you lasted saved there and not your overall decision tree is annoying. It makes getting those last few scenes extra finicky as you have to play through often 3 episodes again just for a single scene before having to start over again to run through 5 episodes for another. Stealth wasn't bad, it also wasn't great. For a first attempt at implementing stealth into this kind of game it's acceptable and I personally didn't start finding ways to cheese through stealth sections until my 3rd or 4th playthrough. It definitely could do with improvements, such as randomising where the enemy stops as opposed to going in the same loop, but it's not game breaking bad. The HDR implementation was very nice and easy to set up. Definitely made the game 'feel' better. The time jumping was cool, a neat way of delaying the impact of your actions.

Played one play through and as a fan of these games, I'm quite disappointed. With how long this game was in development...I was expecting more. The story was okay, but I wish there were more details. I remember in Until Dawn they had the totems and all the secrets. This one just felt flat. We get some insight into what Earth is like and how the company is but overall it just felt like details were an afterthought. The stealth was horrendous! Some parts you could not continue unless you distracted them and constantly I would get stuck in loops where there were not other options but get caught or walk in some glass. I wish there were more ways to distract or be stealthy. Lastly, I thought the ending was really rushed. The beginning was quite slow in comparison to the end. The middle just got boring and I wished there was more to do then 'let's go run to this part of the ship and maybe die.' If you like their other games, you will probably enjoy this but I wouldn't recommend unless you played the others just because it isn't as good as the others, sadly. Was really looking forward to a fleshed out sci-fi story from them.

Worst than others

I’ve played all of the games in The Dark Pictures Anthology. I was a little skeptical when I saw that this one had mixed reviews and was set in space, but I was pleasantly surprised. I played it with a couple of friends, and it took us around 7–8 hours to finish. The story was better than expected, and the graphics were crisp. Overall, I’d give it a 7/10. Little Hope and The Devil in Me are still my favorite games in the anthology, though.

Game crashes constantly, they left the VR hook on so I have to close steamVR on start. I contacted support and they haven't responded since june 8th. no update in a month.

Ein spannendes neues Spiel der Reihe, welches sicher gespielt werden sollte. Das Setting hat etwas von Alien und das Spiel ist gegenüber den bisherigen Teilen etwas anders aufgebaut. Die Geschichte zieht sich an manchen Stellen, welches jedoch überschaubar ist. Die in manchen Rezensionen angemerkte zu kurze Spielzeit kann ich nicht bestätigen. Die bisherigen Teile hatte ich in 6-7h beendet. Bei diesem liegt man irgendwo zwischen 9-10h.
