Review: TheNightfall (PlayStation 4 & Switch) – Defunct Games

I gotta get this for the lolz

Thanks for the review I was thinking of picking up this on ebay, but after seeing the review it looks like I won't be paying 40 bucks for this. Thank you.

Accurate review👍🏾… I believe you & thank you 🙏🏾…was going to buy it from eBay until I decided to search your review… thanks for saving me $👍🏾🙏🏾

no estoy de acuerdo, parece que solo lo jugaste 10 minutos y te aburrio, yo lo termine, y el juego si bien es terror no esta hecho para asustarte, me imagino que jugaste un tal Silent Hill, este juego es mas o menos lo mismo, en menor escala. Estas en una casa pequeña no se que esperas que haga la protagonista. El juego esta hecho para mantenerte en tension, como Silent Hill. Y si tiene sustos Jumps Scares, y estan muy bien puestos, otra prueba de que no lo terminaste. En lo que si concuerdo es en la optimizacion, en PC jugarlo a 1080p es casi imposible, y que a la prota le falta algun que otro movimiento. No es un juegazo de terror pero cumple muy bien, podria haber estado mejor, mucho mejor, incluso deja algunos grises en el medio. Saludos

I couldn't get a certain event to occur so I could continue, I bailed, PS 4

Thanks for the review. 🙂
This is helpful.

Shit I just wasted $15 dollars😒😁😁

Thank you. Even for 15 bucks (it’s on sale) I can get more value for a better game. I’m gonna pass on this one.

Well, it's painfully clear you didn't like this game 🤣 and not without good reasons. This actually brings me to asking you a question of the day as well. I've been following you for a bit now and I trust your reviews on whether or not to make countless purchases. Which brings me to it, what games do you actually like?

There seemed to be a learning curve to your reviews when I first came across your channel. I would start to hear a game have promise and then there would be a barrage of negatives being distributed shortly after. Perhaps this can be argued as remaining unbiased. Then again I've heard some reviews where you really don't have any negatives, or they were perhaps small quibbles.

I know you've played quite a bit of games just based on your channel alone, but if you could possibly throw out some titles you genuinely enjoyed just to have a rule of thumb what makes a great game to you I would love to see that list. If that conflicts with what you're doing here on the channel then by no means do I expect you to do that.

On to the qotd as well as a reason to why the game is retailed differently on two different platforms. I would say if we're going based on the genre of the game supposedly being horror then I vote for deadly premonition on PS3. As a game by itself or from a technical standpoint I don't recall it being bad exactly, but I just couldn't get into this cult classic game. The enemies aren't a threat as they murmur "don't kill me" or "I'm dying" as you let em have it, which IDK about everyone else, but that really took me out of it. Perhaps it is simply meant to be a tongue in cheek 4th walk breaking game, but aside from some interesting boss chase scenarios it wasn't tense or scary, more bizarre and unique I suppose.

The short answer to the latter question is because Nintendo can and perhaps always will. Nintendo from my memory has always cost more, even if only a few dollars and possibly it's the process of developing for the platform itself due to their hardware not being as dev friendly as PlayStation or Xbox? I've heard that when searching the milky way everyone calls the internet and perhaps it's that, or Nintendo is greedy as the ever growing, soon to be a monopolized company, Disney?

Maybe I'm getting too far off the path, but Nintendo has always been a company to keep their titles priced high even years, if not decades after the fact. Good luck getting a Nintendo greatest hits collection like PlayStation has had for generations. Great review as always. 😁👍

The graphics and gameplay make it look like some PC game like Nancy Drew that came out in 2000, maybe 2006 the latest.

The YouTube channel Ranton review of this game just makes you piss ya pants with laughter its a 1st class video this game is not ment to be a serious ghostly game its basically a big joke what needs to be played when having a drink but make sure your drunk enough to get the ending haa because thats the punchline it gets you laughing when you realise its one big joke

Good work, as always. It’s very much appreciated.

Yeah, that does look bad. Worse horror game I played. Hmmmm. 🤔 Well, there was a text based game I played one time called Silence of the Lambs. It was a game that no matter what you tell it to, it won't work, unless you type in "Silence lambs" then you automatically win the game. That has to be the worse game, or the most brilliant, depending on how you look at it.

After PT seemed like this would start a trend but there were plenty of these type of games before it where you just wander around a house.

QOTD, man this is one I could go on forever over this. Main reason, devs seem to think putting scary things in a game makes it scary and they suck for different reasons. Friday the 13th on the NES just plain sucked. The Letter you just walked around collecting letters and a lot of nothing happens. Michigan Report From Hell you sort of walk around and have little control over things, it's barely a game. A lot of the VR games are pretty much you walking around and having people talk to you while seeing things happen like The Inpatient. Most recent worst would be Amy, which sucked because it controlled like crap and the stealth didn't actually work.

Well, technically it isn't horror, but horror-themed – but still, Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z. It is hands down the worst game I played on the previous generation of consoles. It is the only time I've ever been so mad at a game that I had to stop playing, in fear of me doing damage to the console or the TV. I stepped back I started to analyze why that is, realizing that the only things that DID work well in the game were the graphics (when you could see them) and the soundtrack by Grant Kirkhope. The soundtrack is the only reason I didn't throw the game to the bin – the version I got from the bargain bins came with the CD soundtrack – which is billion times better than the game.
