Alone in the Dark: Illumination Critic Reviews

Good concepts are fine, but if you cannot back those up with solid gameplay, then unfortunately it is always going to be a lost cause.

Alone in the Dark: Illumination brings some interesting ideas to the table, but they're terribly executed.

23 years, and this is how it ends? Horrifying, and not in a good way. Illumination is an utter failure on all fronts, a derivative, boring and disappointing shooter. What a sad ending for this legendary series.

The real horror is where this franchise is heading. Alone in the Dark Illumination is an abomination of a video game that you should avoid.

The 'Alone in the Dark" movie by Uwe Boll was the worst thing to happen to the series - until this game. It feels like the developers just stopped working at some point and went home.

A complete and utter disaster. It might spark the curiosity of trash fans, and that's all there is to say.

Lacks in every possible way and looks like an alpha version in need of two more years of development.

Alone In The Dark: Illumination comes across as trying to be a Left 4 Dead 2 and Resident Evil 6 hybrid while doing absolutely nothing right, and favoring to do everything wrong.

Alone in the Dark: Illumination is ugly in every sense of the word, not just visually – though it is about as attractive as an anus in an eye socket. Hideous both inside and out, it’s the consummate fraud that hides behind a recognizable name to deliver interactive poison.

Alone in the Dark: Illumination should not exist. It's one of the worst games in recent years and horrible example of feeding on a recognizable brand. The 1992 original is turning in its grave.

Disgracing the name of Alone In The Dark is just one of the many crimes committed in this hatefully frustrating, and patently unfinished, survival horror.

How on earth could this game make it to a release state? And why would Atari kill the franchise that started survival horror and made Resident Evil what it is today?
