Deadlight: Director's Cut for PC, PS4 and XONE is a remastered version of a two-dimensional platformer Deadlight, by Tequila Works studio. New edition was developed by the same team and published by the Deep Silver. It was released in both digital and physical distribution.
Story of the game is set in a fictional past, in 1986. As a result of a mysterious virus, the world was turned into a place overrun by zombies. Player enacts Randall Wayne, who tries to reach a so-called safe point, where he hopes to meet up with his family and friends.
Deadlight: Director's Cut for PC, PS4 and XONE is a 2.5D platformer with strong emphasis on exploring subsequent locations, solving puzzles and figuring out how to deal with encountered zombies. This is because Randall rarely takes possession of firearms, which anyway lack ammunition most of the time. Therefore, we have to use an axe or other items we find. Moreover, the game features many arcade sequences, as well as environmental mini-puzzles, like moving boxes, that allow us to reach in other way inaccessible places.
Compared to the original game, the title features improved visuals. Production s 1080p, and developers took care of a set of new animations. In addition, Deadlight: Director's Cut for PC, PS4 and XONE features previously absent Survival Arena mode.

Game Ratings for Deadlight: Director's Cut Video Game.
GameSpew: 6 / 10 by Richard Seagrave
Despite being yet another zombie game, Deadlight still feels fresh and unique thanks to being played entirely on the 2D plane
Examiner: 4 / 5 by Joe McCallister
Deadlight Director's Cut packs a good game in a shinier package – a solid platforming survival (not zombie slaughter) game that emphasizes staying alive and moving quickly while taking the high ground that now has refined visuals and controls. Overall it's a good package and certainly the best way to experience Deadlight but those looking for a ton of value packed or incredible voice acting might be left a little disappointed. In the end, it's a good game, great experience, and we can't wait to see what Tequila Works brings us next.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 5.5 / 10 by Chandler Wood
Impressively updated graphical prowess for a unique visual styling isn’t enough to save it from a myriad of cheaply laid gameplay issues. Deadlight’s problem was never its graphics. Its issues are more inherent to the four-year old gameplay design that doesn’t allow the player to feel responsible for getting themselves killed. Handing the player an axe that barely does a thing. Launching them into spike pits they don’t know they need to leap over. And technical issues with platforming that either stick players to walls or drop them into the waiting hungry hordes. Deadlight could have been a good game, and maybe four years ago I would have thought that it was, but players today expect a little bit more intelligent core game design in which death is a teaching moment rather than a cheap trick.
