While it wasn't "Undying" scary, it definitely had some moments that made me jump and scream like Tal when he got his... well, nevermind. All in all, if you're a fan of this type of game, there's a good chance you'll like it.

The release stands alone as the darkest disappointment those of us who cherish this franchise have yet encountered.

Dated technology, distracting controls, and some downright sloppy programming undo what could have been a great game.

The New Nightmare adopta muchas de las soluciones de Resident Evil sin entender del todo su ritmo ni su tensión. La iluminación dinámica y la ambientación funcionan a ratos, pero el diseño de enemigos y el control entorpecen cualquier sensación de peligro sostenido. No es un mal juego, pero tampoco uno necesario: más una curiosidad de transición que una verdadera evolución del survival horror.

I enjoyed New Nightmare for what it is, and It was suppose to be the beginning of another trilogy, but those plans got scrapped, which is unfortunate. I feel the series would've been in far better shape had they just proceeded with the New Nightmare reboot trilogy. The 2008 game and 2015 Illumination were so bad, they virtually killed the series. So, it's an amazing miracle that Alone in the Dark 2024 got made which is now possibly the best game in the series thanks to modern gameplay & graphics, and being a faithful & respectful homage to the 1992 original.

A bit dated, but a good entry into the franchise and preparation for the new one.

I understand that the game had not been developed in an English speaking country, but they could have at least found one male and one female actor with decent pronunciation.

Something that every fan of horror gaming in general--and the original Alone in the Dark series in particular--should check out.

It's a clumsy port, but what's even more disappointing is that it's a clumsy port of only a middling console game.

This game was pretty great considering some of the later titles. The dark atmosphere really did provide a nice scary feeling. The lack of combat wasn't really a turn off to me because the environments alone really drove home the survival horror feeling. This game is definitely worth a look if you want to go back to the good times of survival horror. It's really cheap on gog or steam and if you just want a chill horror game then this is perfect.

Alone In The Dark: The New Nightmare has a dark and dreadful story full of interesting plot twists. The graphics are pretty good but bugs and glitches spoil the fun a bit. Nevertheless, if you`re a fan of horror games or this franchise, you`ll have a lot of fun with this game!

An enjoyable iteration in this old adventure franchise, beautiful, with great atmosphere, and two characters progressing in parallel. What's not perfect is a strange saving system (fortunately, the required medallions are abundant,) and dialogues that are unnecessarily repeated even when you saved the game after they occurred. Not much to mention in the bad department. A bandage-encounter here and there, like the zombie that appears right in front of you, when and only when the camera changes, making its bite unavoidable.
