Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
195 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The plot twist was unforeseen, and there is no distinct allusion to it until it occurs, and begins to allow the tale to fall into place as well as giving a generous motivation for the secondary antagonist.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
77 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With its competent design and atmospheric visuals and soundtrack it’s an excellent addition to any HoG library.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Exploration is a relatively smooth progress and the game does tease at future areas, by using areas that connect to multiple pathways.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The Dark City boasts some very good voice acting, with excellent casting and emotional performances that clearly show astonishment or fear.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Another thing about the achievements is that they ramped up the difficulty from the previous games A LOT.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The HUD is quite attractive with clear simple lines and a matte background although it cannot be minimized whic does feel as though it limits the view of the areas.
