What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The devs have an eye for historical detail, but the writing, art, and voice acting are outstanding.
The twist that the Epilogue of the game throws at you is one that I really would've liked to have seen expanded upon in actual gameplay rather than it just being the end of the game.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed The Darkest Files very much; it's a beautifully written prosecutor simulator with stunning visuals, terrific voice acting, and one of the most touching stories I've experienced.

Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 6 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
