Those Who Remain Reviews
It is a pretty bad work within the genre that is compromised by various weak points. Although it might seem like it has an interesting premise, it won't take long to dilute like an effervescent tablet in a glass of water.

All of these problems turn the game from something promising into a mediocre experience that's less psychological horror than it is torture. There are better horror experiences out there.
Through the eyes of an exasperated protagonist, Those Who Remain borrows from better games to tell a by-the-numbers horror story with the illusion of morality. Rife with puzzles so simplistic they become tedious, its delivery may leave players in the dark.
Those Who Remain is another trip to a bloody past, but this horror game just is not good enough.

Those Who Remain is a psychological horror experience completely lacking in scares and atmosphere. Its uninspired gameplay loop has already been done better time and time again, resulting in a dull, unnecessary title.
This is not a game that I would recommend to anyone other than really hardcore horror fans with a penchant for point-and-click style gameplay. While it has a nice little story going on throughout it just doesn't captivate or craft a memorable or original experience. I understand that it is inspired by classic supernatural films and TV series, but frankly, it just doesn't work to make Those who Remain an enjoyable game.
Those Who Remain is choking on its own mediocrity.

Although it has a clever premise and features nifty abstract scenarios, Those Who Remain is little more than an annoying adventure.
From storytelling to game design, Those Who Remain's tepid approach to its overabundant tropes made me want to leave Dormont as soon as I arrived. My best advice to horror fans: ignore the exit—even if your tank is running low.
Those Who Remain is rife with frustrating puzzles and illogical scenarios, which greatly dilutes its horror experience.
Those Who Remain doesn't have jump-scares, it has jump-yells. Yelling at the game for its clunky controls and puzzles. A new one around every corner.
Those Who Remain wants to scare us with its tense atmosphere and great use of light mechanics. And it certainly does.

This is a scrappy, occasionally interesting horror, that has the capacity to creep you out and make you jump. And it plays with some unexpected, fascinating themes that will at least give you something to think about. For those who remain and see it through to the end, that is.
Those Who Remain tries to stand out (without admittedly putting much effort), but the multiple technical problems, the shallow mechanics, the repetitive gameplay, the atmosphere that disappears after the first hours, as well as the fact that from the beginning you can easily predict everything, make the whole experience indifferent, annoying and boring.

A couple of nifty concepts can't save this uninspired genre piece from its shortage of character or fear.
