- Deadlight is a unique game that boasts a lot of great ideas and atmosphere. This new version does what it needs to have the remaster moniker attached to its name, but I don’t see compelling reasons to revisit it. For those that have never experienced it before, it is definitely worth checking out, if for nothing else but the aesthetic alone. The entry price feels a bit higher than I would like, and the campaign ends far too quickly, but there really isn’t much else like it floating around.
Ken McKown · Jun 23, 2016 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Deadlight Director’s Cut combines classic puzzle platforming fun with an artistic direction and story that is able to create a bleak atmosphere. With so many zombie apocalypse games to choose from and many of them lackluster, finding one worth playing that is able to stand out from the crowd can be a daunting task but this title is an easy recommendation.
Chris Shive · Jun 23, 2016 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Deadlight: Director’s Cut has a chance to impress new players with its take on a zombie apocalypse. The art style helps to mask the age, but it can’t stop certain gameplay mechanics from feeling rough on these consoles. Those complaints aren’t enough to keep me from recommending this solid experience, especially given the additional content and low launch pricing.
Steven Santana · Jun 23, 2016 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Deadlight: Director's Cut feels very middle of the road to me. It's a strange remaster of a game that doesn't feel warranted. The new content isn't much of anything, while what's already there is just okay. There're some occasional cool platforming segments, but most of the game is just annoying. Since Deadlight came out, there have been many better entries into the genre, and you'd be better just seeking them out.
Samuel Guglielmo · Jun 21, 2016 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Deadlight Director’s Cut is an impressively charismatic take on the zombie apocalypse. The well crafted world and it’s highly impactful visual and audible environment makes avoiding the undead an experience to remember. The few hiccups of platforming hell are the only elements keeping Deadlight from being a good game to becoming a great game.
Ryan Tessier · Jun 21, 2016 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - While some of the big criticisms that people had with the original version of the game still stand, Deadlight: Director's Cut still feels like a fresh take on the zombie genre 4 years later. It probably isn't worth a return trip if you've already played the original game, but if this is your first time checking out the Deadlight world then this version is definitely the one to get.
Mike Guarino · Jun 21, 2016 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Deadlight could have been a good game, and maybe four years ago I would have thought that it was, but players today expect a little bit more intelligent core game design in which death is a teaching moment rather than a cheap trick.
Chandler Wood · Jun 21, 2016 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Deadlight: Director's Cut looks fantastic and has a very intriguing storyline. Its platforming puzzles are also generally really enjoyable to solve. However, a few annoying gameplay flaws, occasionally awkward controls, and very short running time really take the edge off the experience, and ultimately the game falls short of its considerable potential.
Jaz Rignall · Jun 21, 2016 Reviewed on PS4 - If you’re a die-hard fan of Deadlight, then you probably don’t even need to read a review to know whether or not to buy it, you’ll just do it anyway. For everyone else, this is an average game that has been surpassed in the years since it came out. There are far better 2D platformers available. You can give this one a miss.
Tom Bickmore · Jul 10, 2016 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - While it fulfils its promise of delivering a much needed edge to the saturated zombie horror scene, Deadlight: Director's Cut is sadly hampered by its clunky combat system and recycled puzzles. Existing players may feel compelled to delve back into the experience as its visuals feel noticeably refined and its survival mode – although flawed – can be addictive in small doses.
