The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes im spoilerfreien Test - kopflos in den Dramedy-Romance-Sci-Fi-Kriegsfilm

The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes, short also known as House of Ashes, is a survival horror action adventure developed by British Developer Studio Supermassive Games and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. House of Ashes is the third part of the Dark Pictures-Anthology Horror series. The game is published worldwide on 22 October 2021 for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and for Windows.

Supermassive Games have found a formula with The Dark Pictures Anthology, which works pretty well. The individual parts of horroranthology are independent of each other and designed to be completed as a long film on one or two evenings, ideally in the scary autumn.

The beginning was made of Medan, a ghostship story, last year followed Little Hope, which turns around witch burns. Now, at House of Ashes, which plays at times of the Iraq war, one remembers much too often that the release date was more important than Halloween as to ensure that the adventure presents faultless.

My body is in a temple

To avoid unnecessary spoilers, we do not go into detail at the story. As established within the series, House of Ashes begins (Buy 29.99 €) First with an intro chapter that takes place before the actual events of the action. Then we switch to the year 2003: A unit US marines is spilled in a failed use and can be found in a subterranean temple.

Playable are five figures whose goal is to escape the corridors and chambers as unscathed as possible. What sounds simple, consists of a lot of components. But since none of the aspects get enough room to develop the full effect, the plot feels overcharging and sometimes aimlessly.

We have the Brisant Iraq war setting, discussing warcoatata and generally the question of whether one should be with the enemy, manage a complicated triangle relationship, beat us with a curse, legislation, conventions as well as good even with Sci-Fi elements Around past events will be explained in flashbacks and with the help of item descriptions, all within four to five hours. Classic horror, on the other hand, House of Ashes offers surprisingly little.

History Channel to the Rescue

This is partly on setting. Where in Man of Medan and Little Hope a colorful mixed character wars made of young and old, capable and anxious, fit and weak in the ring rose, we embody in House of Ashes soldiers, which are armed and trained accordingly. With subtle atmospheric grusel, this adventure has little to do, instead, the lead - and what we fight are already clearly clear and clearly including vulnerabilities, which extends the horror in the Sande.

In Man Of Medan, the question was omnipresent, how genuinely all the horror is that the protagonists experience. Although House of Ashes also throws a fog candle in this direction, but far too late, it is obvious from the beginning that a very real threat is housed in the temple.

Episode Three of The Dark Pictures Anthology feels accordingly like a B-Movie Genremix with bumpy narrative rhythm, which is generous for the last chapters generously serving a well-known film series whose naming would anticipate the entire action.

I Break Together

The characters were brought to life by Motion Capturing. The most famous actress of the Riege is Ashley Tisdale, known by the film series High School Musical. Partially, faces and facial expressions look good, but there are also a lot of sub-optimal animations, figures are rarely looking into the eyes in dialogues, stare in the emptiness instead. But from it and also to the overacting in general with a lot of head-chest and shaking you get used to time, especially since the latter fits without question about the B-Movie charm. In addition to the gray in the temple, the characters also fight with personal problems and traumata. Source: PC Games The German setting is primarily merely useful, which is also because the German voices are poorly mixed in some places and are difficult to understand. The significant Southern Keeper of a Marine is not trying not only to transform into German, but that is probably a good thing.

That the English Synchro fails much better - and above all lip synchronously comes -, House of Ashes actually proves in the German version, because some sentences or dialogue sections still sound in English. Suitably, the subtitles occasionally disappear for a while to spontaneously reappear.

Please put both hands on the controller

Purely from the cosmetic, so not gameplay-relevant waiting, the partially untended, partially subsequent objects in the environment and very weak water and explosion effects. Playing itself is disturbed by unelegant transitions in interaction with objects. In terms of serial do not only meet decisions, but also has to do Quick Time Events. Right puzzle does not offer the adventure. Source: PC Games A lot too often, the character is a coatable for long seconds awkwardly, until we can look at or cancel the object of desire. However, we had this problem only when online co-op games on the PS5, on the PC and alone, the problem worked easily.

In both versions, however, the race was rationalized. Sometimes the description texts of the items are missing, the co-op or Ki partner is too close behind the own character, you can not go on, from time to time, the picture freezes to Quick Time Events.
