Bendy and the Ink Machine Reviews

This game is really fun. Completed it in under 10 hours. The only problem I had was it deleted my chapter progress. But I was able to complete it after a bit of trial and error.

This game is honestly one of the most nostalgic ones for me. I used to play it over and over and over again, introducing it to so many people along the way too because honestly I was in love with it! Got it around the time chapter 4 came out and 100% completed it over and over again until the final chapter finally released and I played it a few times, and after that the hyperfixation ended and I moved on to something new. Now after many years I finally went back and have 100% completed the game and man I couldn't help but smile the whole way through. The game is far from perfect gameplaywise, with the combat being stale and the horror aspect not being all too scary (but it does have its moments) but the puzzles are fun through and through and to this day I am in love with the story of this game. Something that made it even better is knowing what happens in the sequel, it made me view things in this game in such a different way now that i have the knowledge of what happens next. Overall this indie horror game is a classic and i definitely recommend it to all indie horror game fans! 8/10

This game was really fun and enjoyable, if you have a weekend your free please play this game, it doesn't feel like your usual horror game, it is its own thing. It is a short game, only 4 hours, but you can really feel the passion. I will write my review on bendy and the dark revival soon. The characters are probably my favourite part, they feel extremely fleshed out and have personalities. I love it.

really fun not as scary but chapter 3 feels really creepy knowing that bendy could appear at any moment

just finished the game... i have 2 words. PEAK... CINEMA! get the game its so fire (there also are a few sorta complicated puzzles but after you beat them you're golden.

This is such a great game especially for a horror game, I really enjoy the visuals, the story, the characters, etc. If you're looking for a story game this is a solid choice. I was having problems with respawning after dying in the boss fight in the third phase in chapter 4, i had to alt+F4 the game and boot it up after each death.

While I was part of the BatIM fandom when the first chapter came out, I kinda fell out of the loop after chapter 3 and tbh, this time was really no different. It became a total drag to get through around chapter 4 and by the end I didn't even care about the plot twist that didn't even make sense until 2 games later. And frankly that sucks because I do see the passion and care that went into this, all before the mascot horror genre became as saturated as it is now. In reality I just feel like with a bit more polishing and some removal on some unneeded missions I'd really appreciate this horror game a lot more

Genuinely and awesome game! Super fun and spooky, I love the style, story and secrets!

[h2]A wonderful game with beautiful style.[/h2] I started following the game from the moment of its first release, after seeing early let's plays on YouTube. I remember the day I tried playing the project myself and really liked it, despite the raw of the first chapter. I can consider myself a part of the community to some extent, even though I never did content around the game. At the time, I was more into FNAF, and new indie horror projects were something fresh for me. As for the game itself, throughout the development of all 5 chapters, the project transformed, improved, and in the end, we got good product, in my opinion. I postponed playing the game for a long time since I already knew the story, lore, and game mechanics. But the day finally came when I finished it 100%, and I do have something to say. When the chapters were being released, the game felt bigger to me. Now, having played it myself, the chapters seemed small. I can't really consider this a downside, but adding up the total playtime, it’s [b]around 5 hours of gameplay[/b] if you know where to go and what to do. For newcomers, the game might take much longer. [b]The story, music, and characters are all good[/b]. The entire atmosphere is well conveyed through the violin and other musical instruments, which makes the melodies really memorable. Same goes for the characters, they each have their own goals and motivations. They’re not just empty ink shells that want to kill you. I like how each chapter, dedicated to a specific character, reveals their backstory through audiotapes. And let’s not forget the main aspect — [b]the horror element[/b]. For me, the game wasn’t scary. There are very few jump scares, and it’s clear the developers didn’t focus too much on that, instead they tried to dive deeper into the gameplay mechanics and the story. [b]If you’ve never played and aren’t familiar with Bendy, you can safely buy and enjoy the game. The game isn't difficult and doesn’t make you get stuck on any level. Now, I’m off to play Bendy and the Dark Revival for the first time, see ya.[/b]
