[h2]Хороша атмосфера, але криві руки героя[/h2]

[b]Непоганий 2D платформер про зомбі апокаліпсис, який проходиться буквально за один вечір. Це така гра, яку пройшов і пішов далі. Сюжет нормальний, але нічого особливого. Просто історія людини, яка намагається вижити у жорстокому світі, без якихось сильних сюжетних відкриттів.

Гра більше бере атмосферою, ніж геймплеєм. Візуально виглядає стильно — цей похмурий візуальний стиль, зруйнований світ і постійне відчуття безнадії добре працюють на атмосферу.

Але найбільша проблема — управління. Воно реально криве. Герой іноді просто не робить те, що від нього хочеш: не хапається за край, не так стрибає або реагує із затримкою. І коли гра будується на точних стрибках і таймінгах — це починає бісити. Деякі смерті відчуваються не як твоя помилка, а як проблема самої гри.

Геймплей загалом простий: трохи платформінгу, трохи загадок, трохи втечі від ворогів. Нічого складного. Зомбі тут скоріше елемент тиску, ніж основна загроза.

В цілому враження від гри нормальні. Не шедевр, не провал — просто середня гра, яку можна пройти і забути.

If you exit the game and then click continue, it drops you to the beginning of the game. Always! Make sure you set aside a whole day to play it because if you leave the game anytime and the comeback, all your progress will always be gone and you will have to start from the beginning again. Others here are facing the same issue. Too bad. It looks like a cool game.

Советую, любителям зомби тематики, даже если вы не любите 2D. История. которую стоит пройти.
На эту версию игры тоже есть руссификатор.

One of those amazing cinematique platforms.

Deadlight basically merges the gameplay of Prince of Persia with the setting from The Walking Dead. It's a genre that always seemed niche, no matter when, there's never a huge number of these games. Tomb Raider would eventually take it into 3D and most companies went after that.

In Deadlight you play as Randall, a guy trying to find his wife and daughter in Seattle from the 80s. A virus was unleashed and now there's shadows everywhere, which is the fancy name for the zombies or walkers. They are not so slow and can actually pack a punch if you let them get close.

The game is divided into 3 acts, with act 2 being about half of the whole game. Most of the gameplay involves running from place to place, blocking doorways, shooting locks, breaking down doors and fighting with shadows. Where the game shines though, is the occasional puzzles and challenging platforming sequences like running away on the roofs from a chopper shooting at you.

Mind that the game is a very short experience, it can easily be beaten in under 2 hours and there's no bosses nor any particular difficult section. There are items spread around each screen that serve as little lore on the world, like ids from people who died, or strange graffitis on walls.

This special Director's cut edition adds a new survival mode which is just a small location in the game where you have to fight against infinite shadows. The new achievements for survival are actually quite hard. Another great news, is that they finally removed that bugged achievement from the original release that required to have a friend on the leaderboard.

Deadlight is fun while it lasts, don't expect a very creative plot. It follows the basics of the genre and features a plot twist that was very easy to guess. The nightmare mode is still not recommended. Playing through the full game (even with checkpoints on each act) without a single death is incredibly hard and sometimes the controls are not that tight.

Only get on discount though, the game is not worth the price for its length.
