I really wanted to like this game, and I played it far longer than it deserved.

I love side-scrollers but I have been extremely worn out by pixel art. I think it is way over used and a cop-out for putting the work into high-quality graphics. I loved the look of Shadow Complex and of Deadlight. But Deadlight's gameplay is …

I really wanted to like this game, and I played it far longer than it deserved.

I love side-scrollers but I have been extremely worn out by pixel art. I think it is way over used and a cop-out for putting the work into high-quality graphics. I loved the look of Shadow Complex and of Deadlight. But Deadlight's gameplay is so simplistic and uninteresting with the most basic platforming. Maybe a better story could make up for it but this an extremely uninspired find-my-friends-in-a-zombie-apocalypse narrative.

Another cheap game on Steam so not too much lost as of result of playing it.

Beat during free trial of xbox game pass. I enjoy zombie apocalypses but am not a fan of platforming, so I was a bit dubious about this game. I did end up enjoying the game. The graphics were beautiful and it was interesting to see a bit about how it was created in the behind the scenes documentary that came with the game. Most of the gameplay was well done; it felt grounded in realism and more of an intellectual challenge than skill based. Except for the underground trap fill gauntlet created by the crazy old man; that place was ridiculously unrealistic and was the kind of arbitrary excessively difficult trial and error type of platforming that I hate. The story could have been better.

Despite being a good game, and one that I do not regret playing, I would not have spent money on it nor play it again.
