Dark Fall Lights Out reviews

There're two new reviews of Dark Fall: Lights Out up on the internet and our first stop is Gamehelper.com.

Gamehelper give Lights Out 6.5 points out of 10, saying:

Refusing to rest on Myst’s laurels, some adventure games have taken up the gauntlet and run with it. Syberia and Syberia II boast an incredibly absorbing, enthralling storyline, while Missing Since January took an innovative approach to its puzzles by interweaving them with both real and fictional websites. Unfortunately, this is the exception, rather than the rule, and few point and clickers stray far from what has come before. Although that’s frustrating enough from a gaming point of view, it drives me particularly nuts when I encounter a game like Lights Out. Locked away in its rigid code of adventure gaming conduct is a really cool plot and some genuinely spooky moments. The real meat of Lights Out is much, much better than the majority of point and click shovelware that’s out there, but it just doesn’t do enough to distinguish itself from the rest of the drek.

Next stop is GameMethod.com who give Lights Out a great 80 out of a 100 score:

Decidedly superior to the original, Darkfall: Lights Out offers a surprisingly suspenseful adventure complimented by streamlined gameplay. Straightforward puzzle-solving surpasses not only the first game, but many others in the genre. A rich story and superbly crafted ambience makes playing the game a treat, encouraging active imaginations to supplement the game’s suspenseful atmosphere. Although the game can be slow at times, Lights Out is wholly an enjoyable experience that adventure fans cannot do without.
