If you were to call this anything else, nobody would ever connect it to Alone In The Dark, in fact I suspect that this game was in development long before it ever became an Alone In The Dark title. Illumination is a cookie cutter horror themed shooter that takes place in an ambiguously modern setting with no atmosphere what-so-ever. Alone In The Dark was a period piece set in the mid 1920s and based on the horror atmosphere of the writings of Howard Phillip Lovecraft. This game has nothing to do with Alone In The Dark except for it's name.
This is not even an Alone In The Dark game, they claimed that this would be a true survival horror game that returned to the series' roots. Not only will you get burned by Atari, you will be helping to keep them afloat to do the exact same thing again, just like what they did to the people who purchased Cryptic Graves. The same thing is going to happen to Illumination because, let's face it, Atari hasn't produced a half decent game in years and whenever their poorly made games fail, they blame us, the gamers and take it out on us. The game can no longer be purchased, and those who have can't re-download it if they delete it. But it couldn't have been worse than the Uwe Boll movie of the same name.After 'Haunted House: Cryptic Graves' received overwhelmingly negative reception due to it's bugs, broken gameplay and rediculously bloated system requirments, rather than fixing the game they have opted to pull it from every digital distribution site. One of the four-player action title's Steam user comments, which are mostly negative, reads: "How could anyone sell something like this? This needs to be removed from steam and existence," giving you an idea of its quality. A reboot arrive in 2001 that received above average reviews, while a 2008 reboot, which I recall was pretty bad, got panned by critics and users alike.Īnother AitD game launched in 2015, this one called Alone in the Dark: Illumination. There were three main entries in the series released between 19. With its 3D characters, jump scares, and tank controls, the first Alone in the Dark game paved the way for the survival horror genre. Monstrous hordes emerge from beyond the realm of nightmares to sow chaos on the land.
Additionally, the video game publisher has acquired the intellectual property rights for Act of War, which also comes from Atari Europe. What just happened? Alone in the Dark, the 1992 PC title considered to be the grandfather of 3D survival horror games such as Resident Evil, has just had its IP rights purchased by THQ Nordic.
