Deadlight

Never have I loved and hated a game so much at the same time.  I'm all alone. Searching for my family. Fighting shadows (zombies). This side scrolling survivor/ horror game was awesome.

You play as Randall Wayne in 80s Seattle. You were a park ranger before the zombie apocalypse. Gameplay was sluggish. Being able to only go left to right was ok.  You can't get lost or caught up like in an open  world game.

At the beginning you are separated from your friends. You meet up with various people as you go and there are tons of lootables. You really have to pay attention to to when you need to perform actions (jumping etc) and I can't say it enough..check your environment.  It's a good game. There is an alternate ending, which I liked better, that you get by playing in nightmare mode.

The biggest thing to re ember in this game is check your environment and go in every structure that you can. The mini games kind of suck but they are a great throwback. 

Rating 6/10

I really like it but some things need improvement. Its hard to get into the game without giving it away totally. . But the rat king alone is worth it.  It's 14.99 on Xbox, but occasionally offered free.
