Deadfall Adventures Review

This is clearly an Uncharted knock-off, but since I’ve never owned a Playstation and never had the chance to play those games, I’m willing to let it slide. Deadfall Adventures is a serviceable action game that mixes shooting with puzzle solving. Both aspects can be fun when done right. Unfortunately, the game is kind of all over the place in terms of quality. The puzzles range from embarrassingly obvious to annoyingly vague. There’s even a friggin’ slider puzzle at one point. You know the developers are running out of ideas when they resort to slider puzzles. Your character has a notebook that you can reference for hints when you come across a difficult puzzle, but even with the hints, I still had to look up walkthrough videos to get past them.

As for the shooting, this also comes in two flavors. You’re either thrust into a showdown with a bunch of Nazis, or you’re fending off hordes of mummies. Let’s be real, though. Mummies are just naked zombies, and zombies are my least favorite video game monster. Thus, I really didn’t care for any section where I had to fight mummies. I did enjoy the gunfights with human opponents, especially when the game was gracious enough to momentarily lend me a sniper rifle. So, yeah, Deadfall Adventures has a lot of ups and downs. And if you’ve played the Uncharted games and/or maybe even several Tomb Raider games, the “ups” will feel even less impressive. Taken as a passable time-waster, however, Deadfall Adventures was good enough.
