XBLA Platformer Deadlight reviewed

The Winter of Arcade kicked off last week with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD and tomorrow it will continue with Deadlight - a 2.5D platformer developed by Tequila Works. Set in the midst of a zombie apocalypse, you play as Randall Wayne, a man searching for his wife and daughter. We asked Jax to take a look and it seems what he saw did not exactly thrill him:

So, yes, Deadlight is a linear platformer built in the Unreal Engine by Tequila Works for XBox Live Arcade. Tequila Works is a Spanish outfit, with team members whose CVs boast work on Diablo 3, but then Clive Barker’s Jericho appears on many of the team’s profile. So a bit of a mixed bag.

Rather like Deadlight, then.

How much of a mixed bag then? Which parts were bad and which parts were good? Go ahead and read the very excellent review right now to find out!
