Any good if you play solo?

Most of the bad reviews I see complain about coop being broken, it seems.
What about solo?

Sure thing.
Coop is basicly not-playable from game 2 on (and now it seems in its worst shape ever).

Really? It's been broken since Little Hope?

I am now on house of ashes but never had any issues with any of the games. But I have heard some have issues on little hope.

Solo is great! The only issue I experienced was Mark's camera, it was so hard to turn, i had to position Mark a certain way to take pictures, felt underwhelming other than that..great spooky game even for solo !

Only mildly annoyed.
But I guess you can only graps extreme emotions.

Personally never had problems running these games, nor did the friends I'd play with.

IMO Shared Story is the most fun way to play these games. Limited information both players have add a lot of suspense and surprise. That being said solo can be just as fun and I'd highly recommend playing both cuts at least once if possible. These games hit differently when you have to try to keep everyone alive indirectly thru the Curator's Cut.

Not sure what this means, me and my co-op buddy have been doing our first blind runs of these Dark Pictures games online every year now.
Devil in me is the first and only one that's been outright broken; everything from missing player animations to assets disappearing from the game world, the Incinerator scene that just seems like one big mess of a bug, every other scene just fast forwarding and skipping ahead when you've only explored about 40% of any given area.. etc.

To answer the OP I'd go so far to say that it's actually *recommended* and 10x better to play this one solo in it's current state. You'll actually be able to follow the story and understand what is going on. This has been my experience so far doing my second run after our online game; all these documents and tape recordings and stuff that were skipped over by the game forcibly fast tracking us to the next scene during the online session seem pretty damn essential in constructing the narrative.

Shame the game's online mode seemingly didn't get playtested at all :/
