Endless Night: The Darkness Within is a Beta that was tossed my way by Little Guy Games, which is always appreciated. Now this isn’t a typical review; I won’t be tossing out any numbers or recommendations here beyond whether I think the game is worth keeping an eye on. But if you want a spoiler, it definitely is.
The premise is simple: you play as Jake, a man with a darkness deep inside him. This platformer task has you solving different puzzles, fighting horrific creatures, and nightmares, all in an attempt to help Jake discover a truth hiding somewhere in his subconscious.
Now that all sounds pretty, and most people would think that is interesting, but is the gameplay fun? If you like platformers, then yes. The jumping is very fluid, even at this early stage. Better yet, the hover mechanic is beautiful. Missing jumps never felt like anything other than my own fault.
Is this game going to be amazing? I don’t know it is a bit early to tell, does it have the potential to be? Absolutely. The puzzles are challenging but fair, the battles are fun, and the platforming is top-notch. I can also see this being a sleeper hit for the speed-running community for some reason.
Keep an eye on this one, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
