Black The Fall
Expert reviews and ratings
I'm a big fan of games that whisk you off to a fictional world to give you a break from the stress of real life. Sometimes it's a big, beautiful environment like Hyrule that you take your time to explore, but other times it's a brutal hellscape in which...

By ign.com onI don't think that's just down to Sand Sailor's lesser artistry. As surreal and creepy as Inside is, the fear it summons is an abstract and universal one - fear of the loss of self. It's something we can all feel and share. Black the Fall, though, isn't about your pain, it's about theirs. It's not here to look into your soul, it's here to bear witness.
By EuroGamer onThe word I would best use to describe Black The Fall is perfunctory. It mostly functions, but has no highs outside of the opening.

By WCCFTech onBlack The Fall isn’t exactly revolutionary when it comes to the world of atmospheric platformers, but it still excels in what it sets out to do. It paints a frightening image of a land deep in the grip of Communism back in the day, but never sacrifices enjoyment in order to get its message out.
By HardcoreGamer onWhile most players will likely see where its influences lay, the dystopian world of Black The Fall succeeds on many occasions in creating a distinctly disquieting atmosphere, while a trial-and-error-based puzzle design offers just enough interactivity...
By New Game Network onGraphiquement, le jeu m'a tout de suite séduit et j'ai voulu en savoir plus à son propos. Une fois la bande annonce visionnée, je me suis dit que Black The Fall allait être une course permanente pour la liberté. Hé bien pas vraiment, c'est beaucoup...

Though Black deserves credit for adding new puzzle mechanics along the way, it could've easily seen its 6-8 hour runtime chopped in half and still gotten its message across. That entire time I found myself wondering if, like Inside, Black would have...
