The Dark Pictures: The Devil in Me

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.

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.

Played this with a friend and we had a lot of fun! I'll have to replay it some time with someone else.

I got quite attached to the characters, especially Erin and Jamie. The visuals are nice, the scares made me jump, and the co-op experience is immaculate and adds to the most to the gameplay! Playing this on your own might not be great, play it with a friend!

It'd be 9/10 if it wasn't so buggy. Our run took ~5 hours, yet we had to reopen the game 6 times and restart a whole section. The character voices glitched, models got stuck in T-poses, the breaker puzzle was REALLY broken on my end and I had to google a work-around, and we got frozen in-place on each other's screens a few times. To cap it all off, my game crashed right as the ending credits finished lol.

I don't typically mind bugs, they usually add to a game's charm imo. Mark T-posing during a serious cutscene was great, but there were so many major glitches that I have to say something.

I'd still replay this game with another friend, though!

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.

Within the first hour or so of play through I was super disappointed in the graphics and the bare minimum of facial expressions. All of the players looked super dead in the eyes or too smiley at times. Plus in situations where they should have been panicking or screaming there was silence. The previous 3 games were way better so it was a shock to feel like the production on this was cheap. I did really enjoy being able to jog (not walk faster), jump, and have a reliable light source. Playing the game a bit more and the story sucked my husband and I in. I feel like I had some unanswered questions in the end however. Overall, great story but disappointing graphics.
