The Dark Pictures: The Devil in Me

I couldn't wait for this having played the games before but I couldn't fully enjoy it. I felt the overall game was rushed so things were missed such as unrendered backgrounds, clothing popping in and out, the dodgy way the characters look and talk to each other, nobody talks to others with their heads down but still eyeballing you or they'd look everywhere but at the other person. I couldn't enjoy the exploring as much as I wanted with all the jumpscares and interruptions so I missed out on a lot. I wanted so much more story but I felt it was missing. I will say I enjoyed it as much as I could and I loved being able to scene select before completing the game.

Finally the best anthology story so far in the franchise. After too many monsters (Until Dawn, House of Ashes, The Quarry) and just some hallucinations (Man of Medan, Little Hope) finally a pure classic maniac killer horror story.

The shimmying and climbing felt a little dragged out at some points but the other new gameplay mechanics were a good addition to the game.

I don't understand this game scores so low at many review websites.

I think it is the best story so far and I hope they keep this up for the upcoming season 2 next year.

Highly recommended if you like maniac killer stories for sure.

The Devil In Me does a great job with creating atmosphere and jumpscares it's also looks photo realistic even though its on unreal engine 4 the characters were pretty good the story was interesting the performances were amazing the gameplay I loved and I hope they expand it with directive 8020 this is also the season one finale of the dark pictures anthology and this is so far the best game in the anthology this game also has one of the best set of the characters in the series and some of the most intense moments in supermassives work that had me on the edge of my seat they closed season 1 with a banger.

I have played many Supermassive Games from Until Dawn, to each of the Dark Pictures Anthology installments.

Until Dawn was a supremely fantastic game that I wish I could play over again for the first time. However, what I've noticed about this Anthology series, is that they seem to know how to build up a story and world, but then they fumble with the actual delivery, and most especially the ending.

This, on top of clunky mechanics, several bugs that shouldn't exist in a $40 game, and wonky graphics, makes for a frustrating experience.

The characters for each of these games are generally wooden or plain unlovable and I always find myself not truly caring if they live or die in the end.

The Devil in Me didn't feel like it had any really "high stakes" moments like other games from Supermassive. The game also just sort of... Ended suddenly out of nowhere, and it fell flat, never really reaching a true crescendo.

I love horror games, and this one had the potential to garner the right experience with the setting and the premise alone, and so I'm very disappointed by how dull and bland I feel after finishing it.

Even though the characters aren't as good as some of the other supermassive games casts it more than makes up for it with the improved gameplay great story and gruesome kills. I feel as if the next game could make or break the series with how outstanding this entry was. With house of ashes they had a more action this one focused on more horror elements and was definitely the scariest in so far in the dark pictures anthology. I hope that the next game will keep up this quality because this is nothing short of a great time. I would highly recommend if you have played the other games in the series. 9/10.
