The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes

Another win for this series. Narrative is informative and realistic. Visuals are amazing. Controls are easy and I experienced no bug issues with the game. However, I do want to give advice to people who are wanting to play with others in the "movie night" mode, as that is what I did. This mode allows you to pass the controller between people, alternating between the character's you chose in the beginning of the game (the problem is you don't know how much screen time each character will have before choosing). My advice is for Player 1 and Player 2 to select specific characters for the most balanced experience. Player 1 is forced to play a minor character who is only relevant in the beginning of the game, therefore leaving only two playable characters for the remaining duration. Player 2, however, gets to choose three characters to control who are present the entire time (unless you kill them, of course). In my opinion, to make the play-time more equal, I would suggest the following characters for each player based on scene time alone: Player 1 - Rachel, Salim (you will get to experience both sides of the narrative with these two roles which is a plus for me). Player 2 - Jason, Ni…

honestly, very underrated game from The Dark Pictures Anthology; the story is great, characters are decently written; Jason Kolchek and Salim Othman absolutely amazing duo!! MVPs for me; SITUATION FUBAR!!!

This was a pretty good game, definitely going to require multiple playthroughs to see everything it has to offer. I wasn't really a fan of any of the characters except for Salim so any deaths weren't really meaningful to me at all besides "I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ that QTE up". I don't know how I feel about the story. I think I liked the monsters pretty well, but the twist at the end felt like maybe it was a little too much? On the other hand, I find the lore implications very interesting and hope we get another game that focuses on that more. The world building in the series as a whole is very cool! The controls were also a bit strange. Occasionally, it felt like I was fighting for control of the character or the camera when given the opportunity to walk around and explore. If you like these types of games, this one isn't bad at all!

tried to kill every person as best as i could. success. great game

Great Game

Genuinely the best game created by this studio. I love how we're supposed to care about some straight romance when most of us are loving bromance simulator. And to anyone claiming it's a done concept, you can argue that about every game, book, and movie created. 10/10, will play again.
