    5.0 out of 5 stars A modern take on the series' return to its roots.

    You can tell the developers have genuine love for the original 1992 game, while also adopting gameplay elements from the modern Resident Evil remake titles. The gameplay isn't perfect - it can be a tad on the easy side, and combat can feel a little janky, but it makes up for it by actually retaining survival horror elements, beautiful environments, fun characters, a solid soundtrack and an engaging story!
    This is an actual survival horror title, meaning it may not be for everyone; combat is not the priority, and there is a lot of back-tracking. Also, similarly to the original, there are notes you can find that are pretty long but are actually voiced.
    This is not a remake, by the way, but a reboot! It borrows elements and characters from the original story but the narrative itself is completely different.
    If you're a survival horror fan, give it a try! I think it's fair to say that Alone in the Dark is officially back! :)

    TLDR: 8/10
    If you are at all a fan of survival horror games, especially classic ones, this is a definite must buy. I have no idea how this game got so many horrible reviews at launch. Maybe the game launched in an unplayable state, that I don't know. But after a price drop and a few patches this game is definitely worth it. Gameplay feels like a game straight from the golden age of PlayStation 1 and 2. Scares are very mid, but atmosphere is top tier. Story is all over the place, but solid if you read all the files and clues. Finally, replayability is pretty great thanks to the game differeing enough between each character and multiple endings.

    For casual players, it won't wow you, but for horror fans, this a good fun time.

    I am about two hours in and loving this game. Sure combat is a little janky but the story, atmosphere and voice acting are amazing. Very fun and creative. If you enjoy Lovecraftian horror (and don’t expect COD in 1920 Lousianna), this one is for you.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fun game, worth picking up now that price has dropped
    Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2024
    I waited for a price drop ($30) before picking up this game and I would say it was worth the purchase. I enjoy survival horror games like Resident Evil and Dead Space and Alone in the Dark seemed right up my alley. Alone in the Dark isn't quite as high quality an experience as RE or Dead Space but still worth your time.

    You'll play through this game pretty quickly, it's about a 9-10 hour game. You can play as one of two characters for your first playthrough and then work your way back with the other character afterwards. $20-$30 price point seems fair to me but the original $60 price was way too high.

    It’s good to pass the time like other games the controls for shooting are a little janky no matter the settings

    Having played the original back in the day, I had to get this. I also like the actors. I beat the game fairly quick but it was worth the price. Great addition to my horror library.

    I loved this game. Played it through from both characters. The graphics are so nice and the game itself is really smooth playing. No glitching at all.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Disk doesn’t work
    Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2024
    I have installed the game multiple times, and every time is the same thing. I get a “Game can not be played” message. Worthless, very disappointing! I don’t recommend buying it!!
