Emily Wants To Play is a nicely done creepy title, despite the simplicity and a truly inflated cue (the classic haunted house), managing to make right random mechanics, although not without some issues. It will scare you and it reveals a great pastime to celebrate Halloween. Will not last long and it is graphically poor, but what we have here is a title that we recommend to all those who love the genuine jump scares.

Achieves what it sets out to do fantastically – scare the absolute bejesus out of you.

For a very reasonable asking price, you get a very potent horror game that, ultimately, leans a little too heavily on its jump-scares to carve out a unique personality of its own.

Grafica? Direi più un disastro **** gioco sembra uscito da un simulatore Unity fatto da uno studente di informatica al primo anno che ha scoperto i modelli 3D preconfezionati. Le texture sono spalmate sui muri come vomito digitale, le animazioni fanno sembrare i manichini di un negozio più espressivi dei ****, e la casa è talmente anonima che sembra una mappa base di Garry’s Mod. Audio? Terrorizza, ma solo perché è orribile.Salti per i jumpscare? No, salti perché l’audio è talmente squilibrato che potresti perdere l’udito. I suoni sono messi lì a caso, e le voci dei mostri fanno venire in mente doppiaggi amatoriali di film horror di serie Z. Se non giochi con il volume abbassato, finirai con il mal di testa prima che Emily decida di giocare. Gameplay? Ma esiste davvero?Eccoti l’innovativa meccanica di Emily Wants to Play: GIRATI, STAI FERMO, NON GUARDARE, GUARDA, CORRI MA NON TROPPO, ASPETTA, MUORI. Sembra un tutorial per perdere la pazienza. Le regole cambiano senza una logica precisa, e la frustrazione arriva al massimo quando pensi di aver capito cosa fare, solo per essere ucciso senza motivo.E non parliamo del "livello di difficoltà". Non è difficile perché è impegnativo, è difficile perché il gioco ti butta addosso un’orda di schifezze random finché non perdi la voglia di vivere. Paura? L’unica cosa spaventosa è che qualcuno abbia pagato per questa **** pensavi di trovarti di fronte a un horror psicologico ben fatto, rimarrai deluso. I jumpscare sono prevedibili dopo i primi cinque minuti, la tensione svanisce perché il gioco diventa noioso, e l’unica paura reale è quella di aver sprecato soldi e tempo per questo obbrobrio. Conclusione: BUTTALO NEL CESSO.Emily Wants to Play non è un gioco horror. È un test di resistenza alla frustrazione, un’accozzaglia di idee scadenti messe insieme senza alcun senso. L’unico vero spavento è il pensiero che possano farne un seguito. Se vuoi un’esperienza veramente terrificante, gioca a qualcosa di fatto bene. Se invece vuoi farti del male, Emily Wants to Play è qui per rovinarti la giornata.Voto finale: 1/10 – Uno schifo da dimenticare.

Just 100%'d Emily Wants to Play on the PS4. Before I begin, I love horror games and whenever there's a horror game on sale or naturally cheap, it's worth trying out in my opinion. Emily Wants to Play is naturally $7 bucks. Immediately, it warrants a play considering most indie games are $20+ nowadays. Even if the game **** for me, it's only $7. I can live with that. You play a pizza delivery boy who was called to deliver some goodies at 11pm at night and end up being terrorized by a little girl and her 3 creepy dolls. The goal of the game is to last the entire night until 6AM. Every hour poses a new challenge and it's mostly a new character/doll terrorizing you for that entire house and each one of them have a weakness you have to figure out in order to help you last the hour. When you die, and you will; A LOT, you begin from the beginning of the hour. Consider the top of the hour your save point. The hour in reality lasts only 5 minutes in real-time, which makes it able to complete the game in less than an hour. The graphics are extremely dated. You can tell no money was spent on the making of this game. It seems like it was only made for a dev's portfolio. The controls are frustrating as they can make or break your hour. The buttons include run, use and flashlight on/off as well as zoom. Zoom does nothing. Might help you out only in levels where you have no choice but to be in the dark and need help seeing without getting too close. I wouldn't say it's a complete knock off of Five Nights At Freddy's because the only thing it knocked off are the different types of dolls and jump scares when they get you. Overall, it's a challenging little horror game. I spent about 2-3 hours on it and would've spent more on figuring out what every dolls weaknesses are but I checked online and cheated only to realize there's a room in the house that holds a clue for you to figure out how to get by the hour. If you can get by the graphics, control issues and cheap deaths at times, it's $7 well spent. It's short, sweet, creepy and goofy. I'll be nice and give it an average score of 6.

It’s a game for people to play and give themselves heart attack after heart attack, to the amusement of whoever is watching. There’s value in that, and this game does that better than most, but it doesn’t get its claws into you – it doesn’t really even try to. When playing with Emily gets too scary, all you have to do is stop.

SummaryIt’s 11pm and the last house on your route. The windows are boarded up, the yard is overgrown, but the lights are on and the front door is open… strange place to deliver a pizza. You’re getting soaked from the rain, so you hesitantly step inside the house. You shouldn’t have done that.
