DeVuego ES_COR

Deadlight is clearly inspired by cinema, and it's this affectation which creates both the game's strongest and weakest elements. The visual design is absolutely sublime, but these cinematic influences create a wonky gameplay experience much too afraid to do anything but guide the player through tedious chunks of unwanted script. Deadlight does not create a compelling narration no matter how hard it tries, and it's galling to see Tequila Works choose to sacrifice an entertaining game in the process.
