Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare Review

- In 2001, Darkworks released Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare on multiple platforms; it ticks the boxes that make a survival horror game, though it does hardly anything to make it unique from the competition, not to mention that some areas need refinement.

Let's not forget that this game is based on Alone in the Dark from 1992, so many of the mechanics were done all the way back then.
I enjoyed New Nightmare for what it is, and It was suppose to be the beginning of another trilogy, but those plans got scrapped, which is unfortunate. I feel the series would've been in far better shape had they just proceeded with the New Nightmare reboot trilogy. The 2008 game and 2015 Illumination were so bad, they virtually killed the series. So, it's an amazing miracle that Alone in the Dark 2024 got made which is now possibly the best game in the series thanks to modern gameplay & graphics, and being a faithful & respectful homage to the 1992 original.
The inspiration from Lovecraft was lost after the 1992 one. As per Wiki, Lovecraft Horror " emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock" . 1992 is Claustrophobic, and while it shows a couple monsters up front, the ghosts are not a clear threat and overall the monster are not upfront to fight.
New Nightmare they really just spawn in, and you have to manage your ammo due to many fights , like RE. Its a zombie shooting game with scarejumps, not horror.
I had fun with this game, I remember finding there was a new Alone in the dark, and the nostalgia kicked in. It was fun, but was "not enough"
The map DOES tell you what room you're in (it's the blinking one).
this game s main issue was the dumb enemies design.. It was really a shame because its atmosphere was really well done.. nice review
It's design base on lovecraft creation.
This game is disturbing, very underrated
so your saying that reading in this game is bad when the original also did it?boo
SUBTITULOS EN ESPAÑOL PLEASE !!
this game failed at doing puzzles correctly.
the library puzzles don't make sense.
it could've been a good game, if the right ppl were in charge.
Atmosphere is pretty great btw
Yes, they do make sense. You need to read the books and you'll have no problem. The solution is literally written in one of the books.
The Bad thing about it is the stupid save feature that is extremely limited and the fact that if you don't use Game Shark Cheat Codes it's way too impossibly Hard for anyone but a Super Duper Non Average Video Game Wiz Kid. It's Stupid how you have to find the limited amount of "Save Charms" in order to be able to save your progress.
Same annoying problem is with Resident Evil, but at least with that you can use the Game Shark and Code Breakers Cheat Codes to have unlimited items in item slot 1 and above if you choose more than just the first item slot.
It’s almost like surviving and item management are gameplay features......
gasp... you couldn't POSSIBLY be referring to the main mechanics of true "survival horror"... That's the whole point... the essence of (classic) survival horror
