The Good
- Rich setting, graphic and sound design create a nicely tense atmosphere
- solid and (mostly) intuitive puzzles.
The Bad
- Story and characters are ultimately forgettable
- graphics are showing their age
- interface can be confusing/inconsistent and the game’s still a little on the buggy side.
Our Verdict
Good
A solid adventure that is generally enjoyable, though it lacks enough polish or ambition to recommend without caution.
Barrow Hill: The Dark Path is a competent throwback to old-school horror-themed point-and-click games. It doesn’t break any new ground, but it does its forebears proud.
