D4 is quite a silly game. But also an awesome one, exactly what you'd expect from the creator of the cult classic Deadly Premonition.
It is not easy to appreciate D4 in its entirety, especially due to the Japanese surrealism it contains, sometimes extremely difficult to understand. At the same time, what you will find is a fine game that is able to provide a unique experience.

Fans of Swery65 and Deadly Premonition will be in heaven while playing D4 since Swery's outrageous story and characters are even more outrageous this time.
From its insanely quirky characters to its underlying tragedy, D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die is oddity done right.
The narrative hooks are numerous and capable of sinking in nice and deep. I can’t wait to see where this crazy tale goes next in the forthcoming episodes. Hopefully less of my time is spent on needless action, and more of it is focused on the case and characters.
There are gameplay elements that miss their mark, and the pacing isn't perfect, but it's not enough to kill these dark dreams dead. Someone tell SWERY that we're ready for more.
To be clear, I wasn't expecting a complete game from D4—the episodic model guarantees a certain amount of waiting around on the part of the consumer—but this doesn't even feel like a complete episode.
Fantastic game. Nice relaxing change of pace. The more you put into it trying to gather (and read) all the collectibles and the more you get to know the characters, the more you will adore this game. The music is outstanding and the humour is great! I can't wait to play the rest....

SCORE 7.4/10
Imagine if Heavy Rain and Telltale games made love while on a bunch of acid. This is that game is their baby.
It has a unique art style very much in the vein **** novel. It has many of the same interaction types as Heavy Rain and a super trippy and weird story. It is unique and has so much **** crazy stuff happening I don't know where to start.

D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die is, by far, the weirdest video game that I have ever played. Words cannot express how strange I felt upon completion of it. Honestly, it cannot be said whether it was good or bad, but I can say it was intriguing.

Cette espèce de ‘curiosité’ était une sorte jeu d’aventure, un ‘point & click’ pour console Xbox One et plus spécifiquement pour l’infect Kinect dont la véritable place est dans la poubelle depuis longtemps… Le Kinect à dire vrai n’était rien moins qu’une catastrophe industrielle et marchait beaucoup moins bien sur la One. De toute façon, on peut heureusement jouer à la manette bien quel’ interface reste lamentable en tout point.
On se croirait d’ailleurs dans un jeu de David Cage l’andouille, farci de QTE crétins (pléonasme) et prédirigé, prédigéré et préchié mais dans une histoire à la japoniaise… pas si niaise que cela, néanmoins ! Le ‘protagoniste’ doit trouver l’assassin de sa femme, quitte à voyager dans le temps… et surtout examiner bien des objets come un sherlock imbibé (de téquila).
L’histoire est très bizarre et fait penser à une adaptation de Stephen King.. ou un film de David Lynch ! le déroulement est souvent confus, illogique avec un paquet de scripts dans cette enquête-couloir, notamment des séquences d’action (!) entièrement en QTE ! Les graphismes ont une tronche de bande dessinée assez réussie et l’ambiance reste… bizarroïde et… inexplicable.
Sur Xbox One à l’époque (en 2014) et d’après mes souvenirs, le jeu ramait souvent et tenait rarement ses 30 im/s ; l’aliasing était assez important (900p bien entendu) et les temps de chargement étaient trop longs. De nos jours, même sur une Series X, le jeu met 30 secondes à charger son niveau principal ! au moins, il ne rame plus du tout et globalement, il semble bien plus présentable.
Mais l’autre gros souci (final) concerne la fin… ‘D4’ se termine en queue de poisson qui appelle une suite… qu’on ne verra, qu’on ne jouera jamais ! Dommage, car l’humour est souvent présent et on aurait aimé connaître la conclusion de tout ce bordel !

I can understand making a game silly/weird as a major hook/selling point, but you need to be able to land the fundamentals of game design if you want this game to do well. Just look at games like Yakuza, or No More Heroes. They have their moments of silliness, but the core gameplay on both is solid, and the stories stick the landing. D4 is, unfortunately, not a polished game. It has major clunkiness with the controls, but not done in a charming way like Deadly Premonition, or can be forgiven like older games. The plotline is also non-sensical, and the multiple choices/QTE's feel like they tried copying Telltale's homework a little too closely. Not really a worthwhile game, especially with better competition in the genre.
