Deadlight (2012 Video Game)
7/10
Great platformer with nothing new to bring to the table.

Warning: Spoilers
The very first game I traded for back in 2017 for 12 sets of trading cards. I was skeptical that am I going to enjoy playing this or did I just wasted by 12 sets of trading cards. But Upon playing, I came to at ease. A side-scrolling survival horror cinematic platformer by Tequila Works, S.L., and published by Xbox Game Studios back in late 2012.

Deadlight as a platformer has nothing new to bring to the table but it deserves all the positive reviews it got. I only played it for a few hours, platformers were not my cup of tea back in the day. But I evidently appreciated the game for what it is.

The Plot of Deadlight

The story starts off around 1986. A virus just broke loose, the outbreak of the virus turned people into walking deads. The decimation of society followed soon after the outbreak. The game lets you play as Randall Wayne our protagonist. Born in May 1952, Randall lived in Hope, British Columbia as a Park Warden. He lived with his wife Shannon and their daughter Lydia.

When the epidemic reached Canada, Randall ignored military evacuations and formed a posse to defend Hope. When overrun by the dead, He searches for his family through a zombie-infested Seattle, while struggling to survive against not just the walking dead, but fellow survivors alike.

Here where I stop and lot you the player enjoy the plot of Deadlight.

Gameplay

A great game with a good story plot. enjoyable platformer which is good but doesn't bring a lot to the table but very enjoyable. Stages of gameplay are well-done as well. I don't have much to say about the gameplay of Deadlight. Great level design and beautiful atmosphere for a game that is set after the decimation of society.

Pro's

Good story plot. Decent platformer. Great level design. Appropriate atmosphere set for the game's theme. Appropriate game mechanics are set in place. The puzzles are well placed and planned. The graphics for the game looks great and appropriate for the game's theme. Runs great on lower-end PCs without issues. Fairly priced. Striking visuals A nice blend of light combat and environmental puzzles

Con's

Brings nothing new to the table. Nothing to do after finishing the game. Short. low-quality voice acting Trial-and-error gameplay clashes with loose controls.

Summary Deadlight is still worth putting your time into. The pros outweigh the cons. and the cons are minor. I highly recommend it. if you haven't played Deadlight yet. Worth every last penny. Best wishes, happy Gaming...
