Gameplay & Controls:
The game handles and plays beautifully. I played both the console and PC versions. The PC version has full controller support as well. The game plays very fun with the keyboard and mouse option, but if you want to sit back and enjoy the adventure, a controller will work just as well.
The world has ended and there is only horror left. In search of your family, you will be traveling through Seattle, witnessing the aftermath of the event that decimated life on earth. On your journey you will go up against the worst kinds of monsters, oh and there is Zombies too! You will experience first-hand how humanity broke down and became the roaming monsters that plague what is left of mankind.
Other enemies you will come across are Zombies. You will fight, struggle and run to survive each day!
Graphics:
We experience the game in the form of a Cinematic Platformer. It feels like we are watching a movie play out in front of our eyes. That is how gorgeous the game looks. There is incredible detail in every scene. From the landscape itself, to the destroyed extras in each scene. The different enemies that storm you.
Everything looks beautiful and unique. This world is dark and full of shadow and damn does it look gorgeous! The games light and dark blends perfectly with each other to create a visually stunning masterpiece to behold.
Sounds:
Another marvel! The soundtrack for Deadlight is downright perfect. Every scene you explore has its own sounds and background music, the combination of the two makes the journey that much more memorable.
Loud noises when attacking enemies, and thus making them you can hear the howls far off in the distance. There is so many urban sounds that for an end of the world game there are many city sounds in it; and it makes the game so much more fun.
Voice over artists did an outstanding job bringing each character to life.
Replayability:
Deadlight is broken into chapters, and each of them have their own individual scenes. These can all be replayed by selecting them.
There are numerous collectables that are scattered throughout the game world. Deadlight has also a number of achievements/ trophies, so there is some replay value.
