REVIEW: Alone in the Dark is NOT a worthy reboot of the franchise

the return of Alone in the Dark to the world of gaming was something expected by fans and with its recent launch, it was expected that the franchise would be on the rise again. Although it has received a commendable modernization, unfortunately, it has failed to meet the standards set by modern gaming titles. Survival Horror, which may leave some players wanting more.

O showmetech dedicated itself to exploring all the dark corners of this release, bringing a detailed review of Alone in the Dark. Here, we consider whether, despite efforts to update the game, it is worth it in the current context, where franchises like resident evil, Silent Hill e Dead Space define the cutting edge of horror.

The attempt to reimagine the 1992 classic, maintaining its dark story and, in some moments, even the fixed camera, was an ambitious gesture. However, this new version ended up preserving, perhaps unintentionally, the feeling of incompleteness and technical flaws that marked the original. This aspect, which for some can be seen as a nostalgic charm, for others serves as a point of frustration, placing the game in a no man's land, between mediocrity and oblivion, save partially for its reimagined narrative.

It is worth remembering that the text below may contain spoilers, but we will avoid them as much as possible!

What is Bitcoin Halving and how to take advantage of the date

O Halving of Bitcoin, scheduled for 2024, could be an excellent investment opportunity. The event takes place every four years and directly affects the price of cryptocurrency. We will explain what the halving, how it works and its impacts, so you can take advantage of this chance.

To understand the function of halving, you need to know how bitcoin mining works. Cryptocurrency mining is a computational process that uses high processing power to validate transactions in the blockchain of currency — in this case, bitcoin — and add new blocks to this digital ledger.

This computational effort is essential to maintain the security of the network, as it keeps a reliable version of the ledger distributed among all of us, the participants, updated. But it requires a high cost of electrical energy to power powerful mining equipment.

Without them, transactions would not be processed and the accounting record would be inactive.

O halving of bitcoin is a periodic event that occurs every four years and causes great impact. The word halving comes from the English term half, which means half. It is a halving the reward given to miners by the process of mining new blocks on the bitcoin blockchain.
