I love the Dark Pictures Anthology series. I've played all of them always in co-op and it has always been a blast and an enjoyable time... until now.

The good: The new item mechanics are a neat addition. Not very groundbreaking but it worked out great and felt fluent. The dog survived.

The bad: Story feels weak; the villain is just there to be there, teleporting around which makes sense near the end; character choices feel unnatural and dumb.

The ugly: Characters breaking their necks to look behind them for some reason, camera locked some times, characters porting into the scene then becoming invisible then popping back in, characters that died appear for one scene and just disappear again.


I haven't found any game breaking glitches or bugs in my coop playthrough, yet I hope they fix them. I just couldn't get behind story wise, since there was, what I felt, no conclusion to the story. It was a rather open end, compared to the other games. Characters also became annoying and unlikeable over time, while I was rooting for them at the beginning, they just became worse by the minute.


I really do hope this was a product of rushed development and just a misstep in an otherwise great series.
