I bought Alone in the Dark several months ago and ended up severely disappointed. The game plays very stiff, especially combat & "stealth". There are also still plenty of small bugs and technical issues, like the game stopping you from opening a door because it's loading the next area or a collectible missing from where it's supposed to be.
The overall story, including the final boss, was also pretty mediocre. The only real positive were the additional locations, offering a much needed break from exploring the main mansion. I had a much better playing something like The Chant, even though that game had an even smaller budget. At least it had some cool ideas regarding the world and enemies and I wasn't annoyed with the gameplay.
