IGN reviews alone in the dark: 3.5/10

and how much more time would you have given the game,hm? 1year, 2 years, 3 years ?

Come on, it was nearly completely done when Harrison joined Atari and, judging by the reviews I read and videos I saw, there are main elements of this game which would've to be redone, like the story, the characters (from what I've read the main chara is a real douche and "Sarah" is the most annoying, useless and athmosphere killing female to ever apear in a game) and many passages, which are only possible to finish with frustrating trial and error (or that dvd fast forward option, but really.. in my opinion there is nothing less motivating to play a game than not even having to play it to get to the end).

Face it, the game had to be released now to minimize the loss and to be able to financially support projects with a brighter outlook.

a shame this game didn't turn out well, because the trailers with that fantastic and different music really managed to get me interested in AitD5, although I never got into earlier installments (I hated the demo for AitD3)
