Deadlight nails the look: the silhouetted 2.5D Seattle, the hand drawn comic cutscenes, the whole hopeless mood of it really got under my skin. The problem is Randall himself, who finishes every animation before he listens to you, so the chase sequences and collapsing rooms turn into trial and error until the controls finally cooperate. Combat is basically a non option since two axe swings leave him winded and ammo is scarce, which fits the survival theme but gets old when a zombie clips you through a wall. Rat's sewer chapter dragged, the voice acting is stiff, and I finished in under four hours. Still, I'd recommend it on sale and with a controller, but grab the Director's Cut instead since it's cheaper and this version doesn't even tell you it exists.
