Even the typically excellent co-op mode suffers.

a few years ago. The standalone episodes capture the best bits of schlocky B-movie horror romps, but with a flashiness and level of polish that their film counterparts don't have. These 6-hour interactive horror movies are at their best, however, when played with a friend. At least that was the case until The Devil in Me, the latest and by far the weakest entry in the series.

Between a creepy dude dressed up as Holmes who's stalking the crew, and the house's multitude of Saw-like traps and torture devices, there are a lot of opportunities to kill off the cast, and since nearly every single one of them is simultaneously horrible and boring, you might not work very hard to save them. Even if you want them all to get out alive, however, bugs and weird design choices will make that a big challenge.

The Dark Pictures Anthology is not a tricky series. You're unlikely to ever get stuck. But The Devil in Me bucks this trend. In one sequence, I had to use a microphone to find out what room some moaning was coming from. It directed me towards a locked door—it didn't require a key, it simply wasn't interactive. I ended up having to go in a completely different direction, and instead of following the sound, I just wandered around aimlessly until something happened.
