You can't just chuck players in a maze with a ghost and tell them to be scared. Unfortunately this is exactly what Daylight does.

Daylight has neither the creeping sense of psychological dread of Fatal Frame nor the poster man antagonist of Slender, and its reliance on cliche lacks distinction. But if the game's straightforward purpose was simply to panic and upset its player then it is an indisputable success, no matter how cheap the tricks employed.

Daylight's horror atmosphere starts strong, but repetitive corridors and nonthreatening enemies squander it quickly.

Daylight hits the right mood at first, but the creepy atmosphere is pushed aside for lame jump scares and hollow gameplay.

A few jump scares left my heart racing, but the overall adventure isn't exciting

Don't be afraid of the dark in the shallow and cliched horror adventure Daylight.

Daylight's shortcomings will scare away genre detractors. The gameplay is repetitive, the level design annoying and backtracking quickly becomes a chore.
