The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the cute design and level aesthetics, while others criticize the lack of graphical settings and overall quality, describing them as subpar or reminiscent of a demo. Many users note the absence of options like an exit button and customizable settings, which detracts from the experience, especially in a first-person context. Overall, while some find the graphics acceptable, others feel they do not meet the expectations for a full-fledged game.
“Cute graphics and level design for each section.”
“[well-crafted and genuinely fun, good graphics, Jack Black].”
“The graphics.”
“No graphics settings and exit button in the menu, only gamepad controls (in a first-person game!) it's trying to be interesting, but it resembles more of a demo or promo (which it is) than a full-fledged project.”
“However, here are the bad points: bad graphics, not scary, doesn't feel like a Goosebumps game, too short, too many achievements (seriously though, 1 achievement per death???).”
“No graphics options other than v-sync.”
Goosebumps Dead of Night Review
A greedy price tag, poor performance and an incredibly short campaign make Goosebumps: Dead of Night more likely to be dead on arrival. It's a shame, because it's a well-constructed and entertaining lite survival horror adventure that's probably perfect for kids. Even then, we'd recommend either waiting for a deep, deep sale, or simply renting the excellent 2015 movie. There's a lot to like here, but unfortunately, it's buried under a lot of ugliness. Much like, say... a scary ghoul! Wooooo! Or something.
