REVIEW: Our critics disagree about whether 'The Dark Pictures: The Devil in Me' is worth your time.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Centered around the mythos that has developed over the decades regarding notorious serial killer H.H. Holmes,"The Dark Pictures: The Devil in Me" is a choice-driven narrative adventure game geared to tingle the spines of even the bravest gamers.
Phil Villarreal: I'm usually a fan of games of this ilk. The past"Dark Pictures" games may have been a mixed bag, but in general they have impressed me. I'm also a fan of the true crime book"Devil in the White City," which catalogues Holmes' horrific crimes and audacious deception. This is a dull game. Graphically the characters are in that uncanny valley where I was often laughing at their expressions, reminded of"Mass Effect: Andromeda" at its worse. The dullness extends to a script that is, as mentioned, pedestrian, and gameplay that has way too much padding between the exciting moments. And the majority of the scares come down to the worst kind — something popping into frame or unexpectedly moving accompanied by a loud noise.
