The reviews have dawned for Daylight – and it looks like critics feel like they’ve been left out in the dark.<\/p>\n
The game’s developers promised lots of scares for players, and even delayed its release<\/a>\u00a0to ensure a terrifying package was delivered.<\/p>\n But before you rush down to your local video game dealer to secure a copy, have a read through what the experts have to say.<\/p>\n Daylight was sitting on 56%<\/strong> on Metacritic<\/a>\u00a0for PC at the time of publication. The PS4 scores had not been aggregated as yet.<\/p>\n Daylight makes for an interesting experiment in audience participation, but no crowd of online viewers can make the poor writing any better or the themes any less hackneyed. In creating a game designed for return visits, Zombie Studios ironically forgot to make a game worth playing in the first place.<\/p>\n Daylight has neither the creeping sense of psychological dread of Fatal Frame nor the poster man antagonist of Slender, and its reliance on clich\u00e9 lacks distinction. But if the game’s straightforward purpose was simply to panic and upset its player then it is an indisputable success, no matter how cheap the tricks employed.<\/p>\nGamespot<\/a> \u00a03\/10 (PC)<\/h3>\n
