Easy recommendation
In my opinion it's really one of the best Jump&Runs out there and mainly because it gives me the 'oldskool' feeling like I had with the very first Prince of Persia (Dos) which was a perfect game. You had to beat Prince of Persia in under 1 hour to win the game, think of that. :D Now Deadlight is very similar to PoP to the point that it is all about finding the right timing to execute your jumps and other actions. But don't be scared off by the many surprise deaths you will encounter, it has many checkpoints and you can revisit these anytime you want to find a missing secret. :) It's unforgiving and really tricky sometimes, and holds lots of surprises even when you beat it a second time. But at the same time it's very precise. I highly recommend playing with a controller though. The only letdown there is, like it was with PoP, it's too short. I want more of the brilliant atmosphere, the heart pounding action, destoyed cities and overrun zones full of zombies, etc.. Hell yeah, this game has the best zombies! You will learn to fear them, again. ^^

Better than expected
a really good take on both the platforming and zombie genre in one go - take control of your hero as you run, jump and occasionaly shoot your way across a variety of small levels interlinked with a good narrative. The game pace itself is actually quite relaxed with the odd moment of panic now and again when the hordes get too close - Each room/area is a little puzzle of sorts and using the environment and your basic parkour skills you make your way through - it is mildly satisfying to get through each bit even though the story line is somewhat cliche cliche - i have had this game sat in my library for months and not played it but it is actually quite good a pleasent change from all the other games that i have. even from all the zombie type games i have this one plays totally differently from them all even though the storyline is so and so it is well told with good voice acting which will keep you engaged as you solve each area - there is a good change of pace of gameplay as you go through the areas with some areas needing you to be quick witted and fast with your reflexes and good with your memory of what button does what - thankfully the controls are kept basic and simple (i played on controller). A good solid game with nice graphics telling the story of one mans story in the zombie apocalypse. good storyline nice twist at the end - the last few sections can be hard to beat and i had to do therm a few times to get the timing right but was well worth it - a satisfying game to finish

Deadlight is a thing of beauty, to the naked eye at least
Deadlight is a thing of beauty, to the naked eye at least. Presentation: 9.5/10 - The games great mixture of colours is visually stunning. All the pitch black cadavers lining the empty, cold, and harsh streets while the sun shines down brightly and creates glare on your screen is simply a sight that should be seen. How they mix the pitch black bodies with the bright surroundings around them is simply put; amazing. I must also mention the soundtrack. The music fits the mood rather well, and helps immerse you in the world. Gameplay: 6.0/10 - Although the idea was original, especially for a zombie game, Deadlight fails in many areas. It's basically a simple, linear, clunky, and slippery platformer. All the surfaces you jump on feel slipper and the controls are clunky and sometimes have a bit of a delay. The game is also very linear, in the sense that there are no real, "secret," areas and you just end up following the cookie trail that the game gives you. You also get some weapons in the game like a revolver or axe, but they aren't anything unique. For the long ranged weapons it's a simple point and shoot, which is basically the same for the axe or any other physical weapon. Simple, but not too clean. Plot: 6.5/10 - Other than some great story telling, the plot ends up being a little too cliched for me. As I said, they tell the story in a great way, but the actual story isn't that great. They also did a good job at making you feel for the protagonist, Randall Wayne, but once again the main premise feels old. Overall: 7.0/10 - Good. "The game is visually stunning, but doesn't do much more to make it special" - Marcus
