Supermassive takes its horror craft multiplatform, delivering a spooky, solid — if somewhat safe — ship full of scares
After 2015's Until Dawn, Supermassive Games started plotting out a new series very much in the same vein: The Dark Pictures Anthology. The first entry, Man of Medan, presents a bundle of scares with a great cast, who all turn in enjoyable performances. The branching narrative returns, and multiple characters live or die by the calls you make.
It looks great, with Unreal Engine 4 proving a worthy new engine (some frame rate problems aside), creating a fantastic, dark, slimy environment, especially if you've got an HDR TV. There's plenty of great spooky stuff to go through, though the story feels a bit too safe and restrained compared to Supermassive's prior work. At around $30 and about four hours to play through, with plenty of replayability, this is well worth grabbing if you're interested in narrative-driven horror games.
