The Dark Pictures: House of Ashes for PlayStation 4

Excellent

Algo como en las montañas de la locura pero en el desierto, la verdad me encantó el juego

Não são confiáveis

The best in the Dark Pictures Anthology yet.After a decent first entry with Man of Medan, Supermassive put out the much more interesting-looking Little Hope, which started off very strong but left an unfortunate impression and aftertaste by the finale for succumbing to THE most cliched twist in fiction (which wasn’t even set up very well, to make matters worse). Man of Medan may not have been amazing, but I enjoyed it enough to play through it multiple times; Little Hope, on the other hand, I have little interest to play again after what was learned from the big reveal, which felt like it invalidated everything that happened during the game.House Of Ashes, however, very much restores faith in the franchise. It has an interesting setting, creepy and impressive atmosphere (mostly during the second half, but it’s great), many exciting action-packed moments, and a decent cast (with 2 fan favorites who particularly shine). While the writing and characters are still not on par with spiritual predecessor Until Dawn, I daresay Ashes surpasses in gameplay, scene variety and replayability. It easily matches or surpasses both Medan and Little Hope in almost every way, and the finale is fantastic and succeeds excellently where Little Hope failed. There IS a “twist” towards the end, but it is neither pretentiously presented nor heavily relied upon and left as your last image of the story. On a final note, the characters do delve into political stuff on occasion if you’re sensitive to that, and there is a “love triangle” of sorts that is focused on perhaps too much given the dire circumstances, but neither is the main focus of the story and both are arguably natural considering the setup.The game has multiple audio languages, various settings to make it harder or easier in various ways, and can be played with friends! Overall a great game, I’d like to give it a 4.5 for some minor issues if I could, but since that’s not an option AND I’m grateful they learned from Little Hope, I’m okay giving it a 5. Definitely consider buying it if you’re into these types of games! If you liked either Medan or Hope, this one should impress you.

I like it a lot better than little hope.
