8/10
The best game in this series so far!
28 October 2021
The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes is a survival horror interactive drama video game developed by Supermassive Games and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is the third of eight planned instalments in The Dark Pictures Anthology series, following 2019's Man of Medan and 2020's Little Hope.

After playing the first game in this series, Man of Medan, despite some issues I enjoyed the game and was looking forward to where the story would go next. Little Hope, however, was rather disappointing, taking an interesting turn in the series but a rather dull result overall.

House of Ashes however has restored my hope in the series, the story is better, the characters are more fleshed out and interesting and there is a lot more action in an interesting and creepy environment. Visually the game is stunning, with detailed creatures and a realistic setting. Paired with great voice acting and a stellar performance from Ashley Tisdale.

Overall, I found this game to be the best so far in the series. And the next game looks promising too. Hopefully, it's onwards and upwards for this horror anthology.
