#58: Deadlight

I kind of slept through this game. I actually have to do a double take every time I see the title, because there are like three other zombie games with equally forgettable names floating around in my periphery.

Deadlight has a story. Deadlight is quick, kind of easy and about a lone father's journey through zombie Seattle. It has the story beats you might expect. Nothing stands out in my memory about this game, except perhaps that segment where you're trapped underground. And I guess the final 'twist' is difficult to forget. Some of the temporary characters and associated scenes made me facepalm, so that's a reaction.

The reason this game isn't higher is that the story didn't really make me think.

The reason this game isn't lower is that it has a story, and i'm glad these zombie wasteland tropes get to be recorded in this kind of medium. The gameplay is also completely acceptable as a conduit for said story.

I'll take a weak game with a distinct beginning, middle, and end over a mediocre one that never concludes- every time.

It's kind of tough to write about the ones towards the bottom. Especially looking at the next one, which might have been the absolute bottom of the barrel if I hadn't played the game on android

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
