Geez Ralph’s “fans” really are good ones. If he were to post a video saying he was depressed and burnt out you would all say “take all the time you need Ralph We are here for you We will be here whenever you get back” But anything short of a complete mental break is not reason enough for him to get some help putting out his one of a kind, truly in depth and well put together reviews They are really good reviews that take man hours to put together I know many of you complaining don’t understand work (Typically 40 hours a week You do stuff to get money to continue living Some call it a job) because you’ve been in moms basement for the entirety of your life But trust me This guy puts in serious work for this channel. Stuff like this doesn’t just happen It takes years and years and years of hard work for little to no respect or admiration or anyone telling you “well done” Until you make a breakout video and then build an awesome channel….. only to have your fans bitch and moan when you hire help I’m sure his wife and children are happy with the extra time he gets to spend with them by not working every hour of every day like I’m sure he had to do for years and years to get this channel to where it is. Shame on you all for giving him shit for getting help And he picked a good dude to do it So give the guy a fucking break you ungrateful morons

May be worth reading this if you're on the fence about buying this. Firstly, die hard survival horror game fan, I'll 100% this game, got it digitally and got the collector's edition on top of that. This isn't out of hate. However, a few technical issues is a massive understatement as of the release week. In it's current state, on PS5 (2 different ones) it has several issues with stuttering, the audio is absolutely botched in several areas cutting out entire cutscenes and character audio as well as enemy audio and combat. Aside from audio, HUD disappears periodically which means you're unable to see your health, ammo, pickups and collectibles. Laslty, be mindful of running or dodging into certain objects or enviroments, as you can and will get stuck. Now, I don't regret buying the game, I enjoy it just fine and like the story, but these bugs can and will cause you to miss certain areas and restarting the game, restoring licenses or uninstalling and reinstalling the game doesn't fix this (aside from being stuck in environmemts or props). Normally you just have to deal with the issue until another cutscene or it decides to just fix itself. Hopefully a patch comes sooner rather than later, as it really doesn't make for an enjoyable first impression and I can see it completely turning off several players.

I’m enjoying it so far. Sure, when compared to juggernauts like Resident Evil and Dead Space it doesn’t come near those experiences, but it’s also not entirely that type of game either. Was surprised to see other reviewers going so hard on it. While it has some jank (lets be real this doesn’t have a RE or EA Deadspace budget on top of it) I thought the visuals were great. The world is highly detailed and the ambience of the setting soaks each scene as well as the music. It actually had more combat than I was expecting, and especially with PS5 haptics guns feel and sound punchy. It plays out as almost a film noire detective mystery first, and a horror title second. Although it does have a few jump scares, they never felt cheap. Although it won’t be praised as a modern masterpiece, I got out of it what I expected from what was promised on the tin. Being different from other recent survival horror entries and remakes was actually a positive for me, and more survival horror is always welcome. Would love to see this series continue as I think it can carve out it’s own space here as a narrative, almost campy at times, detective noire horror. My only hope is that other reviewers have not scared people off from an experience they otherwise would likely enjoy if they are even remotely into the survival horror or horror genre in general. And given the legacy of the IP, this is a solid pickup. I do think it’s release in a week this insanely crowded will hurt it even more though, but hopefully people give this one a shot in the near future. I went in with low expectations and came out pleasantly surprised. I think this review is spot on and the ‘Recommend’ but not ‘strongly’ rating is accurate. Well done as always and appreciate you giving this one a fair shot and not just chasing the popular opinion.

Constructive observation just for better info: when listing PC specs on screen to discuss performance, highly recommend you list it as RTX 3060 mobie GPU.

Great review, Austin -- If you had a good time with this game and it got you looking more into survival-horror as a genre, I would hugely recommend "SIGNALIS" from the studio rose-engine. Definitely an homage to RE and Silent Hill in many ways, but also very much its own thing. Not big on jump scares, but dripping with atmosphere and unique personality. Can't recommend enough if you enjoyed "Alone in the Dark." Cheers!

Great review as always, I’ve really enjoyed the game so far. The atmosphere really does drag you in.

If you like Resident Evil 1 and the old Silent Hill games, then Alone In the Dark is worth it. A lot of people are shitting on it for seeming like a PS2 game, but honestly? I love that. Games these days hold your hand too much. This game actually makes you use your brain.

Great review as always, prolly give this a shot somewhere down the line as too many other games coming out that take precedence.

Good review... but... why in holy heck would you give away the times / locations in-game when you encounter monsters!?!?!! Your review gave away the most important aspect of minute-to-minute gameplay in a horror survival game!!! Always thoughtful... how could you miss this?!

I feel like this would've been better as a retro, stylized homage to the original taking inspiration from recent indie survival horror games like Signalis, and used the old graphics to lean into uncanny horror

I’ve heard mixed things about this game, but this really seems like my kind of thing. I’d like to get this a little later down the line when I’m not crumbling under the weight of my current backlog.

I bought it full price at $60 and am absolutely loving the game. No regrets whatsoever, and I’m about 40% through.

Never take a loan in the dark, always read the contract. Thanks for mentionning the framedrops and freezes, I've seen two reviews already which completely ignored this, even if it was clear in the footage that the game was running poorly ( but it could just be a capture problem ). I hate when a game freezes to load stuff every 10 meters, completely ruins the experience, I hope they fix this.
