Dark Fall: Lights Out Review

Reviewed on:
PC

If you played last year's Dark Fall - The Journal, then you've virtually played its follow-up, Dark Fall: Lights Out. Both games share almost identical weaknesses and strengths.

The good atmosphere and interesting but cryptic storyline don't quite make up for lackluster gameplay

Warning: minor spoilers After the phenomenal game Dark Fall, I was very psyched to play its sequel. Even more so after reading that it was very much like its predecessor: I didn't really expect or want the game to... Read Full Review

Very different from the first game, but still very enjoyable. Worth a try if you even remotely liked DF: TJ.

Lights Out has almost the exact same interface as The Journal, but that is not a bad thing. It's not semi-3D like Lost Souls but I like it still as it makes the game run smoother and makes it feel a little creepier, for ... Read Full Review

I am a big fan of adventure games, and The Adventure Company has dropped the ball yet again. This game made absolutely no sense, the hints were very abstract and distant, there was far too much "maze - walking"... Read Full Review

Not Much To Say...

By nappan | Review Date: Oct 20, 2004 | PC

There is little to be said of Dark Fall: Lights Out. Absolutely nothing in this game has not been done before, and done better. It's your basic adventure gaming, with a decidedly wordy flair. In fact, this game would hav... Read Full Review
