Bendy and the Ink Machine (2017 Video Game) User Reviews

A must play cult favorite

[animatedterror · 7/10 · 24 June 2018]

Welcome back to Sillyvision henry, we've been expecting you. Batim ( bendy and the ink machine ) is a first person ... well horror technically, but I honestly think it's more of an intense survivor like little nightmares or Bioshock. It's more atmospheric horror than anything. Not that there isn't some very intense moments, including jump scares chase scenes and some truly creepy looking enemy's ranging from the demon himself and his armada of searchers. To the cunning Alice and her freakish experiments. So story, you play as henry no last name given. Who is a retired animator who after receiving a telegram from his former boss Joey drew, has decided to return to the decrepit studio. Upon entering you almost instantly find the ink machine. Hey not often were introduced to our plot device in the first act. But it's not that simple. Soon inky demons escape and begin to wreck havoc. So brandish your axe and descend into the hellish studio. And remember... BEWARE THE INK DEMON

Not what I expected

The game itself is pretty good and so its story, although there are something that are just annoying to do, repetitive (CHAPTER 3), or simply difficult. However this doesn't ruin the whole game.

A Horror Cartoon Game

[TheMysteriousReviewer · 8/10 · 30 August 2021]

Bendy and the Ink Machine is an enjoyable horror game. I won't say it's something amazing like everyone else with the first three chapters being dull and the gameplay feels a little recycled for a Survival game. But it can make up for the issues with stunning horror, some solid character development, great graphics that makes the animation studio both in a classic cartoon style and scary, and interesting audiotapes that tells us the history of the Bendy cartoons. Even the bosses are, well, just a few of them, are pretty cool and gives the player some good strategy of how they would beat them. Of course, I would recommend this game to those that enjoy stuff such as Five Nights at Freddy's. But if you need to play a survival game in a cartoon-themed form, this is for you. I wouldn't consider this the best game like everyone else, but worth for some goosebumps.

Absolutely fantastic

When I started this game the first chapter wasn't that great but I stuck with it and I'm so glad I did it's a real gem of a game my only complaint is I wish it was longer. Fingers crossed for a sequel

My favourite game of all time!

[rhonacameron-63954 · 10/10 · 12 January 2019]

This is my favourite game of all time. I know this is a personal thing but I have never been so invested in Bendy and the Ink Machine. It has such a compelling story that's still up for discussion even after the last chapter ended. The soundtrack is absolutely incredible. The game looks beautiful and the entire environment is designed as if you are living inside of a sketch.

You play as Henry Stein an old artist that created Bendy for Joey Drew/Sillyvision Studios and the best friend of the founder himself Joey Drew. After 30 years since leaving the studio you get a letter inviting you to the old workshop again. Once you get in and finally start up the Ink Machine you are jumpscared by a tall, slender figure in the form of a black, inky Bendy. You spend the next 4 chapters solving puzzles to defeat the Ink Demon himself.

I HIGHLY and I mean HIGHLY suggest this game to anyone who loves puzzles or incredible story driven games.

All thanks to The Meatly and Mike Mood for this masterpiece.

I can play Bendy because it is a good game. I am a grade 2 student a 7 year old boy. So I give it 5 stars. You should play it.

The Best Horror Themed game with the Best Story. (CH 1SPOILER ALERT)

[arashasgul · 10/10 · 7 June 2019]

This game is pretty good. You can play this if you are bored. Story(CHAPTER 1 ONLY) : Back to 30's, there was a company called "Joey Drew Studios". That company was making Bendy cartoons. A artist called "Henry Stein" was making the animations. But after the company gets Closed, Henry moves into a different City. Many many years later... Henry have been returned into the city. When Joey finds out that, Joey just wanted to show something inside the "Joey Drew Studios HQ" to Henry. Then, Henry finally comes back to HQ. After Henry explores a little bit, he finds out something different. He founded the Ink Machine! Henry knew that he should fix the Machine because it wasn't working. He finds 6 things to fix the Machine. He flows the ink and turns on the Machine. He goes and check, but.... Something wasn't right. Henry gets Closed to the planks, Bendy appears. Everything was covered bu the ink and starts getting broken, so Henry ran away. He finds the Exit, but sadly he fell.he wakes up. Then he uses Axe to destroy Blanks. He finds a illuminati place, when he gets Closed, he starts seeing halliculations. Then he fell again.

Creepy and fun!

[dillpill-56894 · 10/10 · 16 January 2022]

The game is great with some kind of creepy and cartoony artstyle. Kinda reminds me of Disney. It takes you on a great adventure and you meet new Freinds on the way like boris the wolf my personal favorite! You traverse through the inky halls as you uncover the backstory and meaning behind the ink machine. I whould definitely recommend this game to people who likes classical cartoons.

Original theme at the start but falls flat quickly

[tgsilva-74274 · 5/10 · 12 March 2021]

When I first started playing bendy & the ink machine, I couldn't help but to love the environment the game creator drops the player in. It's truly some eye candy but throughout the game and it's story, I couldn't help but to feel like I was playing an off-brand bioshock wanna-be. Chapter 1 starts off at a great start but the game itself starts to go downhill towards the end of chapter 2. I can't help but to laugh at the main protagonists voice acting as he says all of his lines so monotoned throughout the game. Towards chapter 3 I felt like the whole Cohen's masterpiece part from bioshock was simply cut and pasted in this game but with no originality, we're given some weird task from some psychotic person. Overall the voice acting from the tapes are top notch and some of them are worth listening to as it is a hit or a miss with how interesting they are and the purpose it serves. Other than the environment, It is an overrated game that has been overhyped due to its antagonist "Bendy". There are betteouhorror games better than this such as outlast, alien isolation and especially RE7.

Original and haunting

[stevenbwagner · 9/10 · 28 June 2019]

Bendy and the ink machine despite its huge cult following the video game has a lot of twists and turns relying on suspense tension and Dread over jump-scares shock in fright overall the game is very fun to play addictive scary at times even I will praise it for being original yet haunting and you'll get to keep on guessing what's going to happen next

This game was complete @ss

[kamiclone · 3/10 · 28 April 2024]

Garbage game. Did we all play the same game? Reviews on here giving it 10 out of 10. This was by far the most annoying, boring, and tedious game to finish. Incoherent mess, the only good thing was the premise and art design. Everything else fails!! Level design, big F. Mechanics, awful. Slashing with an axe feels fine while thumping with a plumbers pipe is so bad. Your arms spand is apparently nill but enemies still get you with that 9 foot reach while they're on the ground. The whole elevator level was a waste of time. The whole game has your drudging through ink to make it slower because if you played even 1.5 times faster the game would be over and you'd realize you got scammed out of $15.

Hide in lockers as the bad guys are right behind you, now they have no clue where you went. This is beyond insane how many 10/10 reviews there are. This was awful and I do not recommend.
