Description: The Dark Method is a single player, story-driven VR game where the player gets to explore creepy/scary environments, solve classic adventure/survival horror game style puzzles, and battle monsters along the way.
Review: While it is not going to blow anyone away ‘The Dark Method’ is still a pretty great horror game with elements of puzzle-solving and action thrown in to keep things interesting. When it comes to the game’s graphics it is a mix bag as at times they look great and other times they don’t, but the mood/dark atmosphere does certainly keep you on edge. When it comes to gameplay you can easily tell why this game is in early access with difficult to learn controls and more bugs and glitches than you can shake a stick at. But the potential for this game is massive and I look forward to seeing what it becomes moving forward. I wouldn’t pay the full £19.49 just yet, but if you can get it with 70% or more off you should find value for money here even before any updates and polish is added.
