I have played many Supermassive Games from Until Dawn, to each of the Dark Pictures Anthology installments.
Until Dawn was a supremely fantastic game that I wish I could play over again for the first time. However, what I've noticed about this Anthology series, is that they seem to know how to build up a story and world, but then they fumble with the actual delivery, and most especially the ending.
This, on top of clunky mechanics, several bugs that shouldn't exist in a $40 game, and wonky graphics, makes for a frustrating experience.
The characters for each of these games are generally wooden or plain unlovable and I always find myself not truly caring if they live or die in the end.
The Devil in Me didn't feel like it had any really "high stakes" moments like other games from Supermassive. The game also just sort of... Ended suddenly out of nowhere, and it fell flat, never really reaching a true crescendo.
I love horror games, and this one had the potential to garner the right experience with the setting and the premise alone, and so I'm very disappointed by how dull and bland I feel after finishing it.
