Excellent attention to detail with the character design and facial expressions during cutscenes and conversations.
The horror factor is very real when you run out ways to defend yourself.
A story that will have you hooked and coming back for more each time.
Most likely the best voice acting ever seen in a game that pulls everything together in all the best ways.
Tons of interesting lore to explore through a historically accurate world.
Melee weapons breaking very quickly might be a problem for some but can also be a good thing.

The most faithful and inspired adaptation of the Lovecraftian myth ever conceived (and not just in video games!)
A successful atmosphere and an exciting adventure
The elegance, discretion, and erudition of the references to both Lovecraft and the original Alone in the Dark
Ideally balanced puzzles
The game is somewhat short, but is very condensed and well-balanced
The serious start for a great new Survival Horror franchise
Oddly enough, Emily?s campaign is a little less successful and convincing than Edward?s
The fights are few and difficult to be really convincing
A slightly abrupt final chapter

This brief foray from 1920 is brilliant.
The protagonists and NPCs have a lot of charisma.
The sound is much more appreciated with headphones.
An adaptation that preserves the essence of the original title
The unexpected transitions between scenes are beautiful.
Two perspectives of the same story that lead to its conclusion.
The diversity of situations and dialogues that vary depending on the chosen character.
Riddles have their challenge, even if the clues are just around the corner.
This may seem short to some.
Some details regarding the performances.
We have enemies who remain trapped in walls or obstacles.
The absence of Spanish voices (this is very subjective, the English dubbing is well done)

Alternative difficulty level easier with simpler combat.
Additional options for in-game assistance
Free backup possible
Story with beautiful moments of suspense...
High general atmospheric density
Some beautiful mysteries and a captivating exploration
Great variety of settings thanks to the "nightmarish passages"
A balanced mix of history, puzzles, and battles
Most often, several objectives, so that one can always make progress.
Two playable characters who explore different locations in some cases.
An attractive monster design in the style of Cthulhu...
Detailed graphics, especially artistically appealing.
Changes in environment are often amazing
Mainly good character animations
Mainly excellent and versatile soundtrack, ranging from jazz to dramatic and grandiose.
Very good pronunciation in English, overall good pronunciation in German.
Everything is fully soundproofed, including letters and other documents.
Sometimes difficult to control
... but really stupid ending (there should be alternative endings)
Few types of enemies and weak AI
Only two boss fights and on top of that, they are bad.
Few options other than collectibles
First round of 8 hours rather short.
... but sometimes very rude
Partially reloaded textures, sparkling objects and similar.
Occasional sound bugs and complete breakdowns
In the German test version, some elements are still in English.

Reminiscences of the original trilogy
Depending on the character you choose, the story changes significantly.
Good plot, varied and with a lot of diversity.
Visually, it does not stand out.
Puzzles are not distinguished by their complexity.
It generates few moments of tension to be a survival-horror.

The narrative unfolds in a fascinating way, offering two different perspectives.
The gothic atmosphere of 20th century Louisiana is masterfully captured.
The soundtrack stands out for its irresistible charm.
The presence of various technical issues compromises the overall experience.
The combat system seems outdated and impractical.
The clear distinction between combat and exploration raises some perplexities.

A reimagining of the original game that, while not innovative, seems enjoyable in its simplicity.
The participation of David Harbour and Jodie Comer is greatly appreciated.
However, it still remains a good representative of its belonging genre.
Combat system sometimes too rigid
The interaction between the two protagonists could have been highlighted more.
The aesthetic of the rendering may not appeal to everyone.

A somewhat dated achievement, but the artistic direction fits well with the atmosphere of the story.
References to the various episodes of the saga are a delight for fans.
A completely revamped plot that will satisfy both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
The texts of the documents, read by voice-overs, are a pleasure to listen to.
Riddles quite subtle and perfectly presented.
A global visibility issue due to a camera placement that is far from optimal.
Characters are too slow and heavy during battles and their maneuverability is more than questionable.

The actors are quite good, both in terms of the big names and the others.
The sinister atmosphere is oppressive.
The strongly archetypal structure of survival horror, reminiscent of earlier periods of the genre, ends up being one of its most positive aspects.
The combat system could not be more classic.
Replayability can be high, but it still remains relatively short in duration, with a clear impact on character development and narrative coherence.

GamesWelt
A unique atmosphere between haunted castle and swamp monster.
High quality graphics with Hollywood actors from Stranger Things and Killing Eve.
Enjoyable game flow between exploration, puzzles, and action.
great jazz soundtrack
Many affectionate references for fans of the original
Slightly different action evolutions with male and female characters.
German adaptation (which is not always well interpreted in supporting roles)
Choppy combat system
Unfinished boss fights
Lack of finesse and variety in the design of puzzles.
A somewhat confusing and disjointed story
At the time of the test, there were still many bugs (especially in the PC version).

The cast that hits the mark
The oppressive atmosphere throughout the adventure
Highly crafted environments
Lovecraftian inspiration
The flawless vibration of the nostalgic string
The non-playable scenes are technically less polished than the rest.
The perfectible lip synchronization

Console Creatures
Exploring Derceto can be entertaining
Great use of main cast
Puzzles vary, some are good, most are mid to bad
Combat is underbaked

Vida Extra
A remake that knows how to reinvent the classic for fans and instill a true psychological terror.
The residence of Derceto remains the nightmare worth immersing oneself in.
The plot must be performed at least three times.
The shootings and action sequences are something that is lacking a bit, although it is not the strong point of the experience.
