Really bad gameplay and even worse game experience

[Amnuriak]

I am trule sorry to have bought this game. Bad controls: neither swinging your axe nor jumping around nor climbing over walls/fences works reliably - it's always try and hope. The way the game figure reacts is HORRIBLY slow, so pretty much have to plan everything since there is no "fast reaction" to anything possible. If you still want to play the game better get used to the idea of seeing the loading screen OVER AND OVER again. Serisouly, I spent more time in the loading screen because I just died then playing ! The game is not difficult but it's just counter intuitive with it's many places demanind fast reactions but not giving you the controls or game mechanics to actually be able to do it. I hope you like paying for seeing the loading screen because that's exactly what you get from this game.

I disagree. However, what matters are the "feelings" playing it

[HAES activist]

this isnt about gameplay its about story

Come on man, you had to have at least enjoyed the phenomenal voice acting.

[Amnuriak]

By any chance, are you referring to the voice and sound that doesn't work half the time ? I have had more cut scenes where the audio simply stopped then ones with sound. Just another example of how bad this game is.
I had to admit the idea behind the game is really nice and the graphics are fine for this game - but both of which are jsut as true for LIMBO (where this game was cloned off from) so no innovation here either.

I have had SO MANY problems and disappointments with games from Microsoft Studios or other Microsoft related sub-companies I will simply not buy any game again, that has "Microsoft something" beneath it - at least for quite a while. At least in this regard "Deadlight" lived up to my expectations, sadly enough.

I loved it, and couldnt dissagree more. The controls are fine, finished the game with mouse+keyboard easy .

I have only a few minutes gameplay in this game yet, but I must tell I already love it. I can't wait to come back from work and start play.

Let's not forget the ledges that flip the side you're on for no reason. That caused me to repeat the first and only time you get shot at (the end) about twenty times. Not fun.

There is a horrible input lag but game is fine

Most useless axe ever.

And wanna talk about the sprint-roll that flat-out refuses to work 90% of the time? I've lost count of the times that I've been running for more than 2-3 seconds (enough to have randy pandy get his ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wind-up time, I estimate him to be about 79 years old judging by it) and our amazing hero just crouches instead of rolling. And dies.

Also I'm pretty sure of all the wall-jumps I attempted, less than a fifth of them I actually completed, the rest just had randy pandy fall like an idiot, forgetting mid-way what he was supposed to do. Even if I pressed the right combination of keys MULTIPLE TIMES.

Oh and having the hero stumble and fall off (most of the time to his death) because of a tiny pile of carboard boxes? That's just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pathetic.

Sorry, but I stopped reading at that point. Use a controller to play the game.

The game is awesome. And for $3, there's really no need to complain. I've had this game for awhile and highly recommend it.

This is easily one of the worst games i have ever played. The mechanics were ♥♥♥♥, the story was ♥♥♥♥, and I feel like ♥♥♥♥ for having bought it.

[Johnny Gunnship]

It would appear that 50% of the people that bought this game got a crappier version than the rest.

[Nafers]

mine works great. I suck at it though. The story is fantastic, the voice acting is great. no glitches. Oh did I say I suck at this game? Yeah I do, but it's great.
