From its abysmal combat to its shoddy randomly generated dungeon, I really could not stop playing "I Can't Escape: Darkness" fast enough. I'm sure there are some masochists out there that enjoy this sort of game, but I'm certainly not one of them.

All in all, I Can't Escape: Darkness is a very simple, though difficult, game. It's squarely rooted in the past, with the only modern touch being the Steam-based scoreboards.

I Can't Escape: Darkness certainly does well to create a tense atmosphere with some great pleasing visuals. Unfortunately that doesn't cover up this games flaws. Combat is slow and irritating, exploration becomes tiresome after several attempts and there's never any real motivation to keep players going. This game just seems to be more style over substance.
