Did you ever have a feeling that when you play a game you're going to suffer with trying to figure out how the game was gonna work? That's me trying to figure of this game works, if at all.
For starters, it feels like an Early Access game, and not a good Early Access game like BeamNG Drive, but rather similarly to a game like Cat Simulator, a game that I already reviewed back in 2021. Second, the characters, it's nice to have some kind of characters in the game, but they feel like avatars for the player, who is just as confused as the characters. The only character I can get behind might be The Hunter, AKA Theodore Carnby (yeah, apparently we're follow what the story that Alone in the Dark 2008 wants us to follow, meaning this is an offspring to the original Edward Carnby), and that is a stretch. Thirdly, this game is buggy, but you already know that. Anytime I play this game for long periods of time, I feel like the AI wants out of the game as much as I do, they don't go near the player most of the time, even if they have plenty of space to do so, and even if they do go near the player, they tend to get stuck on objects half the time, even trying to clip through the world geometry, which makes it easier for the player to gun them down. Forthly, how do you beat the game properly?? The second chapter of the Mines of Lorwich level has a part in it where you have to fix another elevator by putting batteries in it, but guess what, you cannot find any more batteries, or none that I can find at least, basically softlocking the game right there.
This game was not even close to being ready for release, I've actually had more fun correcting the spelling mistakes in this review than I've had playing this game. I would highly NOT recommend this game if you value your sanity, go play Alone in the Dark (2024) instead. Heck, even with it's flaws, Alone '08 is a better game than this, go play that!
