2Dark

The game has 6 levels glued by full-fledged story which are featured by unique children-related dark theme and style. Each one is a large area where you should save some children, but how you will do that is up to you. I mean, there are a lot of ways to solve tasks and some of them aren't obvious and it's fun to seek and discover them.
You can think of it as a real-time environment puzzle.
Though it's not a perfect game I just don't even want to talk about any cons. There aren't any serious of them.

After Mission 1
This game is a must-buy for fans of horror genre. It is not a full-blown AAA game. It is not the most polished title on steam. But if you like the resident evil vibe and you are okay with the art style of this game, go play it. May not be at full price, but definitely a great buy at 70% or more off.
After Mission 2
Finished another mission. The puzzles are a bit confusing at time, but that is may be because I didn't take the game seriously enough(Partly because of the art-style). And the worst (or probably best) thing is that you can not get a lot of info from the internet. May be the game is not known enough. You have to figure it out by yourself. And that makes the feeling even more rewarding.

I recommend this game based on it's price point. I got it on sale, so for a couple bucks spent, not a bad 12 hours of entertainment. That said, the game is a bit rough around the edges. I love the survival horror genre in general, so props to the dev for being the originator of the genre back when alone in the dark was the only game of it's kind. I also dig the top down horror perspective, as I was a HUGE fan of Darkwood. What this game has going for it is a dark, creepy story line that had me constantly shouting 'SAVE DEM CHILRENS! WE GOTTA SAVE DEM OL CHILRENS!!' mechanically speaking, the game has some good ideas, but certainly not the cleanest execution of said ideas. The ai is a bit clumsy, as is combat, and the inventory is an absolute nightmare as you start to accumulate a bunch of items that are there for unfolding the story, cluttering up the items you need to get to quickly for combat etc. In stealth games, I seldom have the patience to wait around for the opportunity to silently strike, and usually end up just going balls out til Im the only thing left moving... this game, for me was no different... The stealth mechanics are pretty unforgiving, making it often easier to just kill everything rather than sneak past it and leave the chance to get spotted later while your saving dem ol chilrens. The environments, music, atmosphere and story telling were pretty good though, making this one worth is overall. I'd like to see what these devs can do with some more resources at their disposal, for even though the head of this team is a legendary pioneer in gaming, this game still had all the roughness of an indie title. If you love the genre like I do, you'll likely enjoy a play through of this title, then likely put it down after you beat it once. If you don't dig the genre as much, and would rather just be runnin and gunnin, you probably won't get so much out of it... All in all, good times.

This game seems to get a really negative rep, for reasons that I don't entirely understand.
I genuinely love 2Dark.
It's a horror/stealth game in a style that I've never seen before, and for that alone, I love it.
And, especially these days, I'd argue that creativity is more important than polished gameplay.
That being said, the gameplay is far from perfect. The combat is kind of clunky, the U.I. is unintuitive and needlessly inconvenient, and the "come on" voice line sounds like it was ripped directly from a web browser flash game.
HOWEVER, 2Dark shines it's true light in other ways.
The art style is unique, the story is very good, and the music compliments the game perfectly.
It also offers opportunities to play the game in the way that you want to play it. Will you slaughter everyone in the building so you can save the kids without interference? Or will you play stealthier and sneak around everyone as to not harm innocent people? When you're forced to fight, will you go in guns blazing, or will you wait for the right moment and hit them when they're distracted?
It's up to you to figure out the plan, and adapt accordingly when it doesn't go your way. And believe me, it won't go your way.
I know one of the biggest complaints about this game was that it really was too dark. Pun definitely intended.
But I find that ridiculous, because it's a HORROR game. It's meant to make you feel uncomfortable.
The only notable difference in this game as opposed to other horror games is that it involves a child kidnapping ring, and there are some pretty clear insinuations about it.
But, that's a horrifying subject, so it makes sense that it would be in a horror game, right?
My biggest complaint about 2Dark would have to be it's price. I wouldn't say $25 is a fair price for this game, considering that it's not extraordinarily long. I have 35 hours in it, but that's due to having to replay it to get the collectibles and all the achievements. If the price dropped by at least five dollars, then it would be appropriate, in my opinion.
Although considering that this game has actually become one of my top five favorite games, I'd pay full price for it.
But it's not for everyone, so if you're not sure, maybe wait for a sale.
Also, the Pool Hall King achievement was annoying, as it pretty much requires you to play with a controller, because you need to control your movement speed in a way that you can't achieve with a keyboard. As an achievement hunter who did not own a controller at the time of playing this, that was extremely tedious.
So let me sum up my thoughts on 2Dark with a pro/con list.
THE GOOD:
- Unique art style
- Creative gameplay
- Horrifying story
- Playable with different strategies
- Relatively challenging
- Good soundtrack
- Fun achievements(Except for pool hall)
- Chapters are replayable
THE BAD:
- Clunky combat
- Inconvenient inventory system/U.I.
- A little expensive
- Content not suitable for everyone
But, as I said before, 2Dark is one of my all time favorite games, and I think it will be for a long long time. I'd absolutely love to see a second game in the future, but I'm not holding my breath.

2Dark takes its name seriously lol. If being a vigilante detective that goes around infiltrating hide outs to rescue kids from child trafficers, canibals, and cults is your thing its an alright game.
If pixle-gore of fictional child characters and the grim theme of child trafficking bothers you this may not be the game for you.
gameplay: you basically just sneak around. you have the option to be pacifist and no-kill or be a total dirty-harry and trick/trap, sneak/stab, and gun down anyone/anything in your way while searching for clues and the kids that are hidden all through out the levels.

Strongly Recommended
2Dark does a great job of handling a dark topic and although the gameplay is decent, its the story that truly enthralls the player.
Pros:
• Suspenseful
• Interesting stealth mechanics (kids)
• Amazing story progression
Cons:
• Requires manual loads after death (an option to start from last save, restart the level, or quit would be faster and easier)
• Understanding your health was a little confusing at first
Overall:
If you are at all interested in this game, give it a shot. The story is truly captivating and tackles such dark material in a way that makes the player nervous, scared, and wonder what is going to happen next.

The plot is good but the gameplay won't exactly set your world on fire. It plays a lot like those isometric PS1 era adventure games, back when game developers first discovered the third dimension but didn't know how to use it properly.
It's jankey, but it works well enough.
Basically it's a stealth game designed around an escort quest, but it's a good escort quest. The kid's AI is decent, the drop off point is always close and you can move at your own pace. I never felt unnecessarily burdened.
If you're squeamish this isn't the game for you. The theme is horrible things happening to digital children and while you never see it first hand you will see the aftermath. There's some pretty dark imagery in this game (literally and figuratively) and some of it teeters on the very edge of "bad taste."
I got it for 3 British squids and don't regret it. I enjoyed the ride, even if it was a little short.
