US | Dot Esports | Metacritic: Yes | Score: 9/10

“In a sea of remakes and unearthed old IPs, something rarely stands out as different enough from its original to feel unique while staying similar enough to earn the same title. Alone in the Dark 2024 achieves this balance shockingly well. This is a fresh story, but the respect and adoration of the original are clear at every turn. Because that original happens to be the grandfather of survival horror, Alone in the Dark is a must-play for any fan of the genre.”

US | Try Hard Guides | Metacritic: Yes | Score: 9/10

“Alone in the Dark pays homage to a horror classic with a strikingly familiar and yet utterly fresh retelling of a cult classic. Modernized gameplay, stunning graphics, and a faithful yet expanded retelling of the classic story make Alone in the Dark perfect for fans of the original and newcomers to the series alike.”

“A return to form for the franchise, Alone in the Dark masterfully tells an intriguing narrative mixed with solid acting and an engaging gameplay loop.”

US | Digitally Downloaded | Metacritic: Yes | Score: 4.5/5

“It’s really nice to have Alone in the Dark back in form. And for it to have its own identity. After being such a pioneer, this series has spent so long chasing the horror genre popular trends and trying to read the lowest common denominator that it became little more than a pale imitation of other good ideas.”

ES | Hobby Consolas | Metacritic: Yes | Score: 85/100

“Designed for those who want to enjoy a classic adventure with modern comforts, this game will have a lot of fun for Derceto veterans. Don't expect scares that will take your heart out of your chest, but rather a mystery experience, with gray matter, some smell of gunpowder and pills of Lovecraftian lore.”

“Alone in the Dark may not be the most inventive game of its kind, but it is extremely competent in everything it proposes. Combat, exploration and narrative are excellent, with a beautiful noir setting, with few visual details and rhythm. The original survivor horror is back, and in a big way!”

ES | Generacion Xbox | Metacritic: Yes | Score: 85/100

“Finally, we can summarize that Alone in the Dark is a reimagination that gives us back all the charm of the original, with situations and an immersive story, without losing part of its essence in the process, being able to combine everything in a wonderful way.”

US | COG Connected | Metacritic: Yes | Score: 84/100

“Alone in the Dark is an impressive reimagining that successfully revitalizes the franchise. Instead of leaning into the action elements that have become more prevalent in the genre, Pieces Interactive respects its DNA by opting to focus on the puzzle aspect of the adventure. As a result, the game carves its own niche which will lure fans of the genre.”

US | Xbox Tavern | Metacritic: Yes | Score: 8.3/10

“Overall, I’ve had a decent time with Alone in the Dark. The Resident Evil reboots are a clear and massive inspiration, and while it might not be quite on their level, Alone in the Dark still manages to entertain with a weird and wonderful experience. The combat sections are definitely a weak spot, but the exploration and puzzle parts are able to balance this out nicely.”

“Alone in the Dark is exactly what it sets out to do: a new vision for a classic, which inspired and is now inspired by the best in survival horror.”

“Alone in the Dark has come a long way from its initial showings. Clever writing, great performances by its two leads, and solid gameplay come together to give the franchise a new life.”

US | Keengamer | Metacritic: Yes | Score: 8/10

“Alone in the dark is not as fluid or refined as some other remakes in the genre. It has some technical limitations. What Alone in the Dark does do better than its peer is deliver on an engrossing narrative, and an excellent voice cast with Derceto as the main character. Those looking for an action horror or survival horror video game might be turned off by some of its uninspired action gameplay, but those that stick around will be treated with a fantastic psychological experience.”

“It’s such a great time to be a horror game fan and I feel going into Alone in the Dark with an open mind will help for a much more enjoyable experience.”

GER | PC Games.de | Metacritic: Yes | Score: 8/10

“Fans von Resident Evil und Silent Hill kommen bei Alone in the Dark voll auf ihre Kosten. Wer ein permanentes Action-Spektakel erwartet, der sollte dagegen passen. Das Spiel gönnt sich immer wieder ein paar Auszeiten, denn alleine die hübschen Levelabschnitte laden zum Schlendern ein - wenn uns nicht gerade ein Monster an den Kragen möchte.“

“Alone in the Dark review – a thrilling reimagining of a pioneering classic.”

US | Techraptor | Metacritic: Yes | Score: 8.0/10

“If you enjoy Southern Gothic atmosphere and a twisty supernatural plot, than Alone in the Dark is well worth your time. Just know the gameplay, while great at bringing classic horror tension, might be more scaled back than you expect.”

US | Dexerto | Metacritic: Yes | Score: 4/5

“Alone in the Dark never quite reaches the dizzying heights of the Resident Evil 4 remake or Alan Wake 2, but it’s still a worthy addition to this new golden age of survival horror we find ourselves in.”

SK | Sector | Metacritic: Yes | Score: 8/10

“It's possible that there will be very few players who will enjoy the new Alone in The Dark as much as I did. But I'm old school. I don't mind that the game is slow and the action doesn't play full violin in it. Neither is the fact that there are a lot of puzzles and to solve them I have to read diaries, notes, links and I don't know what else. I enjoy the atmosphere, the intelligently written story, the two well-crafted perspectives, the great music and the puzzles. Do you feel the same way? This might be the game for you, just give it some time to work out some of the bugs. Do you want to shoot zombies in the head and not strain yours? Look for something else.”

PL | Benchmark | Metacritic: No | Score: 8/10

“However, if you value, above all, an interesting story and a well-built atmosphere, you should like the new Alone in the Dark. It's not a long game either, because you can finish one campaign in about 8 hours. Is that not enough? For some people, probably yes, but believe me, as we get older, we appreciate more those shorter games that we have a chance to finish and that give us the satisfaction of seeing its ending. And the new Alone in the Dark is just such a game.”

Playstation icons, please!
Oh schön, bezahlte Reviews sagen gar nix aus.
Das Spiel läuft unterirdisch schlecht und ruckelt massiv ohne Shader Kompilierung -.-

Well, buying their game just shows them that they can keep charging the prices they have. If you thought the prices were insane, why would you support them? I'm not.

Most these Devs/Companies do the same crap. Make the base game $60, add some lame/not that important stuff in the deluxe edition to get the price up to $70-ish and then one more edition to hit the $100s.

For a 7ish hour long game (don't count the second playthrough needed for the "story" because it's the same thing) minus only one different scene per character. Definitely isn't worth the price they are asking for. And you showed them the opposite by buying this.

they can do what they want but they shouldn't complain if a PC game doesn't offer console controls. :-) If a PC game has crappy mouse keyboard controls because it was optimized for console controls, no one cares if the mouse keyboard players can't play the game.

1.) Has Anyone Even Played The Original Game To Start With??


2.) Something Standing Out From The Original While Uniquely Simular??

That Is Like Every Alone In The Dark Game,
What Makes This Any Different?? ~_~

3.) This Is A Fresh Story??

Isn't That Every Alone In The Dark Game?



What Is Fresh About This Story??
What Makes This Game Any Different??

Fix the shader compilation stutter, asap.

I wonder how is it possible that people are having so much issues and the review scores are so high.

Is the copy sent to the reviwers different than the one published for consumers? O.o

EASY!
There's a purple monster made of cubes in the library, there's like three bullets in the entire house, and an alaskan bull worm underneath the mansion...........what even was the original game?

No, it's because they shoot these reviewers cash in hopes to get more sales.
