Many reviews fault the game for its loose controls and unfair killer jumpscares and they're absolutely right but i still think the grim atmosphere and beautiful artwork during cutscenes make this a recommended purchase on a good discount. Some situations really do make you first die because you're on a timer and you have no idea what you're supposed to do because the actionable elements don't stand out enough. Or you blast through a door and 5 zombies immediately jump you without warning. Overall it was an enjoyable one off story with some additional exploration. But do make sure it runs on the latest OS as there have been issues.

While very janky at times and sometimes unclear on what to do, this is a pretty good game. It only took me about 3 hours to beat, but they were 3 hours well spent. Randal is, while a bit of an ass, an understandable character who I actually ended up liking by the end. The ending was fantastic, and I genuinely reccomend it to everyone, especially if it is on sale. 7.5/10

One-timer. Pros.: - Intuitive gameplay. - Concept and theme. - Not annoying - fluid. Cons.: - Some poorly designed save points. - Gameplay bugs like inability to proceed several scenes without proper perfect jump performance.

Deadlight is an old school side scrolling game that is both challenging and atmospheric. Those who are simply looking for story with very little in the way of challenge. This game is not for you.

Good job Tequila Works! Really fun side scrolling game, took me 4 hours to complete. Graphics were really good, story-line was decent but the ending could've been better. Controls are sometimes frustrating when jumping off of a wall or jumping straight up, otherwise controls are fine using a controller. I really enjoyed it.
