Reddit reviews Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

$13 on half.com

Edit: $15 on amazon

Edit: downvoted for providing links to help people save money on a great game? sheesh. I'd hate to see what you do to people who really deserve a downvote.

• Star Fox Adventures (less than £10) is basically a Zelda game with a Star Fox skin, and very fun even if you're not normally a fan of the Star Fox games.
  
  
• Lost Kingdoms (less than £10) is an Action-JRPG with an interesting battle system in which you summon monsters from cards. It's a bit cheesy and you can tell it was made with a smaller budget, but it's loads of fun.
  
  
• Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (less than £20) is a psychological horror action-mystery game, and while I haven't played more than a couple of hours into this one yet, I can say it has some great atmosphere and plays sort of like the earlier Resident Evil games.
  
  
• Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (less than £20) is an awesome Diablo-like action-RPG set in the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms world. Especially good for multiplayer, but the story is decent enough to play single-player as well.
  
  
• Phantasy Star Online (less than £20) is like a third-person over-the-shoulder Diablo mixed with some Zelda-style combat/timing, but in a futuristic setting (including lightsaber-like "energy swords"). The game is playable in single-player despite having 'online' in its name, but can also be connected to various private servers if you have a GC Broadband adapter. I've personally put over 200 hours into this game... <3

Honestly, probably not. It was a GameCube game. My brother and I both beat it, I bought it on a complete whim because the title and back of the case made it sound sweet. The reviews for the game are really good, I remember it being pretty challenging and the sanity effects were really great for the time. If you have the resources to play it, I'd say go for it. If you have to buy a system and copy of the game it might not be worth it in all honesty. I'm sure the controls are clunky making the game frustrating. I remember plenty of parts that were hard because of the camera and controls but it didn't ruin or sour the experience for my brother or I.

It probably completely depends on your tolerance for older 3D games, it's 14 years old or so now.

Eternal Darkness Gameplay Walkthrough 1

Here's a gameplay video. I don't want to spoil anything if you decide to play it. The video is 10 mins long.

MAYBE there is a GameCube emulator that would work, I have no idea though. I think you'd have to buy a GameCube and find a copy of the game to ever play it. Highly doubt it will be remastered or brought to the Nintendo eShop.

Eternal Darkness - Amazon

Prices for the game are anywhere from $25~ to $100~ depending on condition.

I didn't play a lot of GameCube games so for me, Eternal Darkness is one of the best games for the system. I haven't played it since it came out though, so lots of rose-tinted memories.

EDIT: you might be better off watching a play through of the game versus spending money to get it.

I own three Game Cube games. Super Mario Sunshine, Pikmin, and Eternal Darkness.

Eternal Darkness is an awesome game but can be hard to find.

[Edit: Looks like it's readily available on Amazon used for fairly inexpensive. ]

The most metal Nintendo character of all time, Pious Augustus, the villain from Eternal Darkness.

He's a Roman Centurion turned badass lich who swears fealty to the wicked elder gods. He'd be a summon type character who could cast area of effect spells and spawn zombies and all sorts of other eldritch horrors to attack you. If you haven't played this game, by the way, get on that. Definitely one of the great unsung classics of the Gamecube and one of the most creative survival horror games period. It's a shame Nintendo doesn't even acknowledge it anymore. Just a trophy or even a sticker would be nice. Smash would be a great way to generate more interest in a sequel.
