    The story between Salim and Jason was so good, it perfectly mirrored the prologue characters. Two people from different sides came together to survive. It was refreshing to see and a the best chapter of the Anthology by far!

    Glad that supermassive decided to keep working on the Dark Pictures and it seems that finally they might have got it right, but I’m also little afraid that it might be too late for any “larger” financial success. Two previous titles are generally regarded as underwhelming (especially when compared to Until Dawn) and I’m almost certain that reputation will also effect on the sales of this one too.

      Uhh Supermassive Games are legally contracted to create eight titles in total for Bandai Namco hence their whole The Dark Pictures Anthology angle even if past titles were disappointing

    Supermassive just can't catch a good break. Until Dawn (yeah been said to death but it continues to be the example) is still such a great game, while every new iteration from the studio is just rushed not fully fleshed out regarding the characters and story. The premise of Medan & Hope are great, the setup for both were good but as I played through them it just wasn't a fun or intriguing experience. While Until Dawn laid into the teens in a Horror movie trope, with all the cliches...it just worked. It had a really bizarre mystery to try to unravel, often depicted nicely with the various collectibles & secrets found. The pacing and setting really worked for me.
    I feel not enough time, money or drive have gone into their more recent titles and I'm usually into these interactive games and more forgiving....but there's something missing in these games to really hook me in. It also didn't help that the previous two games defaulted onto the "none of it was real" which is fine to do once (if done well) but neither of those games did it well enough imo. And sadly this title looks to be more of the same in many ways, especially regarding wooden dialogue and characters who don't illicit much interest for....Little Hope was a bit better of the three titles so far.
    Maybe I'll get this if they ever release a "Full Dark Anthology" set once they're done with it all. Personally I think they need to take more time to deliver another heavy hitter like Until Dawn was... did the people who worked on or helmed UD leave or was it solely being a Playstation exclusive that had them firing on all cylinders?

      I heard that the creators of Until Dawn no longer work with Sony, so they don't have as big a budget anymore. They have to be more creative when working on the Dark Anthology games as their resources are more limited

      This one is much better than previous two and goes into Lovecraftian horror at the end especially. You just have to try this one out. The ,,none of it was real,, got me real bad in both previous ones but this one is classic sci fi-fantasy horror done right.

      considering Saddam killed close to 300,000 of his own citizens and did in fact have chemical weapons i.e. weapons of mass destruction(Argue they weren't there all you want. They had ten years to hide, trade and dispose of them. Some were found much later under ruins) which he used on them, there WERE two sides to the conflict.

    Some people are just pampered complainers. For only $30 these games are good value, decent replay ability. I enjoyed man of medan alot. Skipped little hope and almost done with house of ashes. Supermassive is doing great, considering pushing these out yearly. Yes they have a template of untildawn but they don't have the backing of money bank Sony anymore. So all things considered, we are getting great content. House of ashes is probably the best of the anthology so far. And if we support them, they have the chance to make better ones in the future.

    The plot feels like a generic "Alien" fanfic written by a person that only watches trashy slasher "horrors" that can only scare underage kids.
    Its fucking space vampires?
    Man of Medan tried something and it was fine.
    Little Hope was MINDBLOWING good.
    And then we have this trashy action-packed "OOGA BOOGA SCARY VAMPIRES" shit.
