Darkwood is such a good game, everytime I see someone make a video about this game is a must watch.
Glad to see this game is getting an bigger fan base after all these years the devs did splendid on this
Great review, very well summarized. I have been a fan of darkwood since 2019 or so, the first time i played it i quit fairly quickly just because of how scary it was. Later, i finished the game last year, and it truly is a masterpiece, although i don't see the similarities between it and stalker.
You can see that this game was carefully crafted to be an extremely good horror, starting with the aesthetic; dark, gritty, filthy. The diffulty is too challenging sometimes, even the console version, but even with that, the game is still very good. The music, which is ambient, adds a lot to the gameplay, for example the track that plays in the morning is absolutely fantastic, it's stress relieving and comforting, yet it reminds you of the horror that awaits outside of your hideout. The crafting mechanic is also great, the limited space really makes you question what item is more important, makes you think of the consequences the decision might make, sometimes a single item can decide whether you survive the night or not. The characters are also great, The Trader, Wolfman, and others are very memorable. The mysteries within the game leave you wondering even after you finish it. The limited vision is also a fantastic mechanic, always makes you look behind, wondering where the next threat might come from, you're always kept on your toes. The plot of this game is fantastic, the amount of mysteries and unanswered questions it has, it just makes you come up with theories, but those theories end up with even more questions
Darkwood is a hidden gem, it shines in the sea of recent bland horrors. It's certainly one of the best horror games out there.
I think the comparisons to stalker are mostly about it's tone and setting. Some mechanics are similar but they're very different games. But I would recommend stalker to a fan of darkwood, and darkwood to a stalker fan
@@ConversingGames Ah i see, stalker is very good in its own regard, my comment wasn't a comparison between the two games, i was just commenting on how good darkwood is. The stalker part was just an afterthought i decided add, lol. Regardless, your review is very good!
Markiplier is the reason i found Darkwood and holy hell it's been fun, and terrifying lol
One of my favorite memories of this game is dragging a shelf across the map to my base, using another one that was already there and shoving them into a crack in my wall in such a way to wear normal creatures couldn’t push it. It held up for many nights. Then some magic BS pushed it
I've known about this game for years and really wanted to play it but due to a lack of a working PC, and living in a household where games aren't really tolerated, I never had the chance. This year I finally got a computer that could run smaller games like these and finally got it. I always kept hearing how good this game was, watched endless reviews and I never truly got it until I played it. I've played some really good horror games before I picked up darkwood, like really big titles like silent hill, amnesia, alien isolation and so on. But when I say that darkwood scared me shitless I really mean it. Never been scared of a game before in my life and there I was in my hideout at night, blood pressure though the roof and a heartbeat higher than when I was in genuinely dangerous real life situations.
I love it to bits and I can't overstate how good this game really is. Amazing review for an amazing game ♥️
Really glad to hear you liked the game! I agree that Darkwood is a uniquely scary game. Alien Isolation did nothing for me but somehow this little indie game did. Good luck with your PC gaming adventure!
ive been watching several reviews of this game and none of them have left via the radio station on their first playthrough, the bloodlust is real.
I feel like a lot of us just wanted to see that tree go up in flames tbh
I honestly can't think of a game with better sound design than this. Playing this game alone at night in a dark room with the windows slightly open while the creaks and night sounds intermingle is an experience like no other.
I've been reading the reviews saying "Its such an awesome horror game" and "its one of a kind and doesn't rely on jumpscares" but seeing the gameplay just looks like Zelda for Super Nintendo
Is that solely because it's a top down perspective with a focus on melee combat?
@Conversing Games That and the lack of realism. You can have the scariest horror movie, but if the characters look like funko pop figures, it sort of takes away from the horror. Im sure its fun
@@cowel8734 That's a fair criticism. I would argue the lack of realism is what makes the game more 'creepy' than it is scary. But to each their own.
@Conversing Games Its just a quick assessment. Even games I loved, I hated at first like Witcher3 which I thought was lame until 8 hours in and now Ive completed it all 3 times lol
@@cowel8734 it's not meant to be realistic. the surrealism is more spooky but you're probably after a different type of horror. none of the characters look like funkos, they're roughly fable inspired.
Great video looking forward to the next one
Your channel is going to blow up one day. Love your videos!
I really love some of the artwork used for this game it looks like the artwork used for the scary stories to tell in the dark if the artwork was in color very cool 😎 👌
Excellent review. Thanks.
Amazing review and an even better video! I am so glad that you mentioned the random sleeper, super cool detail.
7:27 the top left map was the one on my first play through❤
Ahhh, Darkwood: "The Earthtone Out of Space"
Really enjoyed this review, I'll have to check the game out sometime, I like the aesthetic the most I think.
definitely the most unique horror game I've played to date
This game's art design reminds me of the Japanese horror creator name Junji Ito.
Dark wood 2? maybe one day?
The studio has since shut down so I doubt it
I'm on the fence can you please help me decide if I should get it
I highly recommend it. It's an incredible experience. If you aren't one for survival horror or abstract narratives; you might not like it, but I would still give it a go. Most storefronts (xbox, playstation, steam, etc) have some form of refund policy you could use if you really don't like it
I love horror maybe a should play it 🤔 😏
@@aaronatkinson177 it won't disappoint!
Very interesting game!
What Geiger are you looking at? I always thought he fixated on male genitals. Maybe it was just genitals in general?
He definitely did his fair share of both
@@ConversingGames just a Geiger genital party. No biggie.
right a vaginal obbession would look different. more holes and flaps. giger based on the whole intercourse. the bio-mechanics of it. luckily that has it's own video game now and it's called scorn. im playing it now.
Soooo good
I finished this game last year after watching Mando's video on it. Was an absolutely miserable experience. But I'm glad I played it. Could never recommend it though
Why? I don't get all these comments saying how "miserable" The game was. Personally I found The gameplay really enjoyable
