A tough game to recommend. With buggy animations and a sloppily told story, it simply feels like a waste of time. Indeed, the good things that it does have going for it merely make the bad feel all the more noticeable.

I like the infrastructure that Supermassive Games has built here, with a good number of improvements over Until Dawn. The two-player online Shared Story is the primary highlight here.

Looks and sounds gorgeous, although characters do stupid things just so the plot can continue... A fair start to The Dark Pictures Anthology.

Man of Medan starts out well enough but just falls apart towards the end leading up to a pretty anti-climatic ending thanks to a twist that was given away at the very beginning of the story. It's not terrible but it's not nearly as good as Until Dawn. Still, as a fan of Until Dawn, I still enjoyed the story for what it was but I didn't really have a desire to go back and play through it again after finishing it the first time.
