Digitally DownloadedMay 20214.5/5 starsThe gameplay is new yet familiar, with the developer mixing up how choices are made by going from text to video in a way that makes it perfectly clear how to play. Koehring and Cunard play off each other wonderfully, building off character stereotypes from past films and fiction when the men were "manly" men and the women were "dainty" ladies. Thanks to the trophies, it is relatively easy to explore all dark corners of the game. Basically, this is another D'Avekki hit game that I will probably never stop referencing or wanting to discuss.

Life is XboxDae JimMay 202192/100Dark Nights with Poe and Munro is one of the best interactive experiences, that’s including every Netflix thing too. Fantastic acting, especially from Leah Cunard makes this fun to watch and play! It features some excellent weird stories and outstanding dialogue!

TheSixthAxisTuffcubMay 20216/10Dark Nights with Poe and Munro is, as a drama, objectively terrible, but there's a chance it could be a cult hit. It's like watching an amateur dramatics presentation in your local village hall, but on a PlayStation 5. If you can grab some friends, copious amounts of alcohol and embrace the ridiculousness, you will have some fun.

Jump Dash RollPeter TaylorMay 20216/10As Mulder once said "all we can do is pull the thread, see what it unravels." Dark Nights with Poe and Munro has a fair number of threads to pull should you want to see them all, adding to its longevity. Brief as it is, the decently written script and well acted scenes tempt you into trying something different if only to see what would happen.
