Deadlight has a solid story in a tired genre with good voice acting even if the main character is a bit of a cliche tough guy.
As I proceeded through the game I had a lot of fun with the puzzles. There are times when you have no weapons and have to find ways to defeat traps/puzzles by using the zombies instead of fighting them, which is interesting.
There isn't really a lot of combat if you're looking for an action game. You will spend most of your time evading or running from enemies. Weapon selection is limited and at times non-existent. I thought it worked well for this game, since the game design doesn't require you to fight that often.
Deadlight is full of Steam achievements, some of which are obtained just by reaching checkpoints, so it regularly rewards you with a sense of accomplishment.
On the downside, the game can be frustrating. There's a lot of trial and error. Sometimes the color scheme of the game can make it difficult to discern certain objects. I fell through floors I thought were there a few times. On the plus side, checkpoints are very frequent, so you can afford some trial and error. Save points are frequent too, but if you quit the game, be prepared to repeat a few checkpoints, which is really no big deal.
Here's the MAJOR problem. This game is a port from XBOX Arcade, so it was designed with a 360 controller in mind. The conversion to keyboard and mouse is not pleasant. I eventually just gave up after COMPLETELY failing to outrun a helicopter through an obstacle course about 25 times. It requires fast reflexes and precision timing that I just couldn't manage on a keyboard (but maybe you could). You need to sprint away from the copter, then basically stop and inch your way up to fences, because if you hit jump while moving you will just bounce off the fence. Fence climbing in general is frustrating. Sometimes it would just take too long for the character to interact with the fence to get away from the helicopter in time. If you ARE using a 360 controller it may work better for you. I tried a PS2-style Logitech PC controller but couldn't remap the pre-configured 360 controller commands. Even my L1, L2, R1, R2 buttons weren't doing the same as the 360 buttons.
I was disappointed that I ultimately put this game down (at least until I get a 360 controller I guess), because I really liked the puzzles, graphics, and atmosphere.

The game seems like it is a pretty fun side scrolling game that's kind of unique. I haven't got to play it much on my computer because I was trying to playing on my laptop and it can't handle to much. I set the game on lower settings and it seemed to have a little bit better frame rate but I haven't got to try it on the lowest settings yet. The downloading process from Amazon was pretty good and fast. If I can get it playing better or try it on a better computer I'd say it would be a pretty good game that seems like it's got a great story to it.Honest reviews on DEADLIGHT
Its a great zombie adventure game and has a style and feel similar to the original "Prince Of Persia"games from back in day. The game play is excellent. Personally recommend using a controller but a keyboard and mouse also works.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for DEADLIGHT
