Survival horror in the vein of early Resident Evil, with dark atmosphere and well-balanced puzzles. The dual-character intertwined story is well-constructed. Some camera issues and slightly dated presentation remain its main shortcomings.

Is Alone in the Dark - The New Nightmare still worth playing in 2026?
A survival horror from Darkworks, Alone in the Dark The New Nightmare revives the genre founding series with an adventure on a cursed island, where you alternate between two protagonists against shadow creatures vulnerable to light. The use of the torch as a weapon, the Lovecraftian atmosphere and the constant tension win over horror fans. The pre-rendered backgrounds and rigid handling have aged. A title for fans of classic survival horror and old fashioned chills on PS2.
