Heart of Darkness


 This is the only game so far that I am DEFINITELY going to go back and play more of once I have given all of them their 30 minutes of play. It is a lot like Out of This World, or Flash Back. It has a beautiful side scroll play style with a crisp and engaging visual esthetic and lots of fun death sequences, everything I want from an adventure game. The most important thing is that it offers very quick refresh time, and starts you right back where you died, which keeps it from getting obnoxiously frustrating. Why most of the games in the past 15 years never picked up on this magic formula of NOT having really long drawn out "you suck for dying" sequences is a mystery to me.

In a five star ranking system,
I give this game 5
