The Dark Pictures: The Devil in Me

Finally the best anthology story so far in the franchise. After too many monsters (Until Dawn, House of Ashes, The Quarry) and just some hallucinations (Man of Medan, Little Hope) finally a pure classic maniac killer horror story.

The shimmying and climbing felt a little dragged out at some points but the other new gameplay mechanics were a good addition to the game.

I don't understand this game scores so low at many review websites.

I think it is the best story so far and I hope they keep this up for the upcoming season 2 next year.

Highly recommended if you like maniac killer stories for sure.

The Devil In Me does a great job with creating atmosphere and jumpscares it's also looks photo realistic even though its on unreal engine 4 the characters were pretty good the story was interesting the performances were amazing the gameplay I loved and I hope they expand it with directive 8020 this is also the season one finale of the dark pictures anthology and this is so far the best game in the anthology this game also has one of the best set of the characters in the series and some of the most intense moments in supermassives work that had me on the edge of my seat they closed season 1 with a banger.

I've had enough of this. An entire season in a row is now a failure with more generic stuff to follow, yet the dev's methodology remains unchanged-an engaging idea, a captivating environment, and a thoroughly subpar execution. Just how many wasted efforts it's going to take them to finally wake up to reality? Can't they see that without adopting a new and creative strategy or recruiting more capable personnel, they are destined to fail over and over again?

There isn't a single character in this game whose looks, lines or actions would inspire you to identify with them in any way. Plot-wise, the only compelling portrayal is the killer's, whereas the playable 5 characters are so lame and badly designed, you couldn't care less whether they live or die. As always, the curator's intro is the best part, promising great things to come, but the remainder fails to deliver. The story's core concept and setting are the only driving forces, yet each time it shifts to dialogue or action, it falls flat due to the barely serviceable characters.

The script could use at least a ton rewrites. The musical score and the sound design are laughable, so are the outdated jump scares. As always, the most obvious issue on the surface is that things tend to play out in the most straightforward manner, lacking any subtlety or sophistication.

It's like the devs have completely lost contact with reality. In fact, they're better off renaming the series to "Wasted pictures anthology" because that's exactly what they delivered.

Absolutely no way I'm going to recommend this game, except if you get it for free.

Now add to all this some dire cliches, stolen scenes, technical rough edges, dated textures and clunky transitions, and you'll have the whole picture. The House of ashes was at least visually polished, whereas the Devil in me ultimately cements the dev's lack of commitment to produce anything that rises above average standards.

The Devil In Me is the season one finale of The Dark Pictures Anthology and is so far the best game in the anthology the characters are likeable and funny the Gameplay has improved a lot over the previous 3 games the story behind Grantham du met is very interesting the visuals are still absolutely stunning this game has some of the most intense scenes out of all of the supermassive games that I have played especially the scene with Charlie in the incinerator and the furnace some of the jumpscares were actually affecting and the actors did a really great job at the performances this truly was a very fun game.

Within the first hour or so of play through I was super disappointed in the graphics and the bare minimum of facial expressions. All of the players looked super dead in the eyes or too smiley at times. Plus in situations where they should have been panicking or screaming there was silence. The previous 3 games were way better so it was a shock to feel like the production on this was cheap. I did really enjoy being able to jog (not walk faster), jump, and have a reliable light source. Playing the game a bit more and the story sucked my husband and I in. I feel like I had some unanswered questions in the end however. Overall, great story but disappointing graphics.
