This title lacks the coherence and the qualities of a confined, scary space that helped to make the first part of the series so great.

The challenge isn't necessarily soliving puzzles, but making sure you've examined every single bit of every screen. [Dec 2004, p.89]

The new directions the game goes in dilute the qualities that made the first Dark Fall so great, and it ends up being much less immediate, real and frightening than its predecessor.

Геймплейно игра напомнила мне 3 myst, не знаю почему... Наверно я, также как и ту игру, эту прошёл с удовольствием. Сюжет подкачал. В целом, мне понравилось больше, чем предыдущая часть. Итог: 8.566/10

Atmospheric yes, but tedious too. You have to work your way through every key. Did you miss one, there is indication of it. It just won't let you into further locations. Not a good way.

Dark Fall 1 is too clunky and difficult to be fun. It becomes a tedious click-hunt if you missed something in a room, and important puzzle pieces are buried in too many notes, diaries, and books. The minor satisfaction of solving a puzzle just isn't worth the amount of story reading that is required to solve it.

This dedication all shows through in the game’s many puzzles, which are both ingenious and challenging. Adventure game enthusiasts looking to test their gray matter have a lot of work with here. It is a bit unfortunate that the ending is not more satisfying, but taken as a whole the entire experience that is Darkfall: Lights Out is simply wonderful.

Like a detective novel it can be predictable at times, but the fun of the game isn't from being surprised by whatever the story uncovers; it's from working out the mystery yourself.

With a bit more music, sound, and speech, this game would have shined. Even so, Lights Out is an excellent game and worth a look, especially if you don’t have enough tension in your life.

For me, the quality of an adventure is based on its story and its puzzles. Since I didn’t overly enjoy either area in Lights Out, the game isn’t one I’d really recommend. It’s also a little disappointing that Lights Out seems to be a step down from the original Dark Fall.

The gamplay is pretty standard fare. [March 2005, p.78]

Intriguing plot and visuals, but we've had enough of these lazy adventures. [March 2005, p.104]

Lights Out more resembles a student project for a gaming college than a finished retail product (and not necessarily a passing one either).
