Detailed Review: Bendy and the Dark Revival-Worth Trying or Not?

Sunny Anderson

Bendy and the Dark Revival honors its predecessor by taking the player on a haunting journey through a captivating world. It is a fantastic, worthy sequel that improves upon its predecessor's visuals and mechanics, expands its narrative, and delivers an eerie, engaging first-person horror experience.
Produced by Joey Drew Studios, Bendy and the Dark Revival is a sequel to Bendy and the Ink Machine. Dampened somewhat by muddled narrative beats, under-utilized characters, and a handful of awkward sequences, Bendy and the Dark Revival nevertheless do right by the series' promising concept and compelling aesthetic. 

1. Bendy and the Dark Revival's soundtrack and design

Compared to some of the best horror video game scores, its soundtrack is quite impressive. Bombastic tunes fade into dim notes, frantic chords flutter to life, and simple melodies combine to create a triumphant suite in keeping with the mood. The sound design of The Dark Revival is equally impressive. Ink creatures' squishing footsteps, eerie metallic clangs, and ominous shrieks fill the dilapidated studio. Sean Crisden, whose voice occasionally gurgles as if he's speaking with liquid in his mouth, gives a powerful performance as The Ink Demon. This adds to the immersion and, when combined with the game's excellent soundtrack and sound effects, makes for a haunting, incredibly terrifying experience.
The gorgeous graphics in Bendy and the Dark Revival go perfectly with the game's top-notch sound design. Despite barely making an appearance in the game, Audrey's design is absolutely stunning. Her glowing eyes and lone black limb give her an ethereal, haunting appearance. She is partially covered in ink. The opulent studio Audrey visits is now a dilapidated, crumbling mess that is dripping with glistening ink. Players in The Dark Revival have the chance to travel to a number of places, such as a gloomy city street, a spooky laboratory, and a murky sewer system adorned with strange plants. The way Audrey uses her skills, loses to enemies, and interacts with her surroundings is animated feels natural.

2. Bendy And The Dark Revival Has Flaws But Remains A Worthy Successor

The narrative is one of Bendy and the Dark Revival's flaws. Although the game is enjoyable to play, the events lose their luster once completed. The rest of the game's narrative fails to adequately support key plot elements. Bendy and the dark revival cast, which included both familiar and new faces, was underutilized. Interactions with characters onscreen are memorable and engaging, but there aren't enough of them to form meaningful relationships.
Although returning fans will rejoice at seeing old friends, the Dark Revival gives players little reason to feel connected to these characters, which makes certain events feel hollow. Additionally, while Bendy and the Dark Revival is impressive for an indie horror game, it doesn't compare to AAA titles. Enemy models lack variety, it's possible to become stuck at particular puzzles or sequences, and the game's final challenge feels half-baked. Some of the Dark Revival's scare mechanics, like the Ink Demon's random appearances, lose their impact after the first hour of gameplay. Combined with smaller bumps and glitches, it's clear the Dark Revival was produced by a team that hasn't quite outgrown its spots.

Despite its flaws, Bendy and the Dark Revival is a worthy sequel to Bendy and the Ink Machine and a contender capable of competing with some of 2022's best horror games. Even better, at $29.99 USD, the game is very reasonably priced. Bendy and the Dark Revival is a compelling, well-crafted game that is worth playing for horror fans. It is sure to appeal to both new and returning players.
