Daymare: 1998
Daymare: 1998, développé par Invader Studios et édité par Destructive Creations, est sorti le 17 septembre 2019 sur PC, PlayStation 4 et Xbox One. Ce jeu d’aventure indépendant, construit sous Unreal Engine 4, propose un survival horror à la troisième personne qui recrée l’atmosphère des titres cultes des années 1990 à travers une nouvelle histoire. Un incident transforme une petite bourgade en zone mortelle et ses habitants en créatures assoiffées de sang, et le joueur incarne tour à tour un soldat d’élite, un pilote d’hélicoptère et un garde forestier pour faire face à cet événement. Le scénario met en scène un centre de recherche secret, une arme chimique mortelle et des forces spéciales enquêtant sur une faille de sécurité bien plus grave, avec une narration déclinée selon les points de vue des différents personnages, des mécaniques de survie éprouvantes, une gestion délicate des munitions, des objets à ramasser, des énigmes environnementales et une difficulté poussée. La durée principale est estimée à dix heures et le temps pour un parcours complet à quinze heures.
Disponible au prix de 2,99 euros, le titre affiche un score Metacritic de 62, un score OpenCritic de 56 et une note agrégée de 60,76. La presse a salué certains efforts du jeu sans le comparer au niveau des remakes de Resident Evil, comme l’a relevé IGN Spain, tandis que Meristation a noté que, s’appuyant sur les bases de la franchise Resident Evil, Daymare y ajoute des idées propres malgré quelques problèmes techniques. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic indiquent y avoir passé un moment agréable même sans égaler Resident Evil, tandis que d’autres le décrivent comme un clone low-budget de la série, et un avis positif sur Steam mentionne des difficultés à équiper les armes malgré plusieurs changements de touches.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Daymare: 1998 is a game that, far from reaching the level of Resident Evil remakes, still deserves a chance from fans of the survival horror genre for the efforts of differentiation and depth of its created universe. A great debut for Invader Studios. »
« Built upon the basis laid by the Resident Evil Franchise, Daymare adds its own new ideas to the mix to present a game that, despite some technical issues and bugs, fully catches the essence of Capcom's franchise and delivers a solid survival horror game. »
« While not perfect, Daymare is a really good indie survival horror that all horror fans should check out. »
« Daymare: 1998 is a well-honed zombie experience that lacks originality but scratches the itch of those interested in the modern zombie game. It provides an alternate take on the traditional Resident Evil story, one that deals more harshly with the real-world consequences of investigating government science. Everything has a level of varnish, from environmental details to the documents that you read. Some of this must be counterbalanced with the fact that the game is a doppelganger. The well-crafted aesthetics also resemble the Resident Evil remakes, the Evil Within franchise, and countless others. Re-creation is many times easier than synthesis, allowing more time for attention to polish. »
« It cannot be denied that Daymare: 1998 comes with many flaws, but you have to appreciate what it aims to achieve. Well-crafted locations, a unique reloading system and interesting storytelling are some of the game’s highlights, but since both the game’s story and mechanics take time to get used to, it can’t be denied that those strengths are a double-edged sword. »
« Daymare: 1998 is a very interesting homage to the 128-bit era survival horror games, even if it struggles a bit technically on PS4. If you understand you’re going to play an indie tribute and not the next AAA horror game, you will have a good time with it. »
« Invader Studios has more than paid tribute to the most classic survival horror with Daymare: 1998. Unfortunately, the story that you star as a player in this play is not as interesting as the background of it, which can easily go unnoticed. However, the game has gameplay and a series of mechanics and details that do great justice to the horror titles of the 90s and, especially, to the first Resident Evil. »
« Daymare: 1998 is a nice old-fashioned action horror with the right atmosphere, but some poorly-implemented mechanics and technical errors bring down the overall package. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« I had a nice time with a game, kept my interest. Yeah, its not Resident Evil, but still ok:) »
« This is a low-budget clone of "Resident Evil". It feels like a PC game from the early 2000's. The game is campy and filled with "spot the 90's reference" easter eggs. It has clunky mechanics and goofy voice acting, but is still fun. Overall, "Daymare" classifies as a guilty pleasure. You can say it's a "bad, but good" survival horror game. I'd rate this with a 7.2 out of 10 »
« It is an older style feeling to it story needs improvement fun easy to get into.From a Og Resident evil fan it does not have the horror sense and way more forgiving. Its hardest mode is like normal to resident evil. the environment is great »
« Me ha parecido un juego estupendo, con sus toques indie y movimientos que hay que pulir, pero por demás, me ha gustado como un buen juego de survival horror clásico. Se nota la influencia del Resident Evil 2 remake en él, y tiene momentos que dan miedo, otros que parecen un poco de relleno y restantes que marecen la pena por pasar un buen rato.Aconsejo este juego sí o sí, es entretenido ! »
« Insopportabile, un gioco spaventoso ma per i suoi difetti! Audio, comandi storyline, grafica non si salva nulla da questo abominio. È stata una tortura giocarci. Mi chiedo come sia possibile che un atrocità del genere sia in commercio. »
« A mostly enjoyable experience for RE-fans. Pros -classic action horror game exploration -original setting, certain story elements -combat was decent, except a few gimmick fights -atmosphere -good gameplay gimmicks although not polished enough Cons -few of the puzzles tried too hard -enemy variety -optimization(low fps) -voice acting of a major character was lacking at best Feel a 6 is justifiable, would recommend it to anyone to scratch the itch for another RE-game. »
« Let's get it out if the way, game is janky AF, graphics are mediocre, and voice acting is one of the Worst I've Ever heard And yet the atmosphere and gameplay is so good I enjoyed it far more than I thought I would, the music, sound effects and general overall feeling is th closest thing to original Resident Evil 2 I've played, and that even includes The RE2 Remake,and the reload mechanic is a welcome addition that adds a lot of tension to the combat While it shows the limited budget the game was made of it's a worthy experience than any Survival horror fan should give it a chance »
« Really fun throwback to old survivor horror games. The atmosphere is insane and especially the sound design is frightening. There are flaws (like a certain mechanic in the last chapter), but overall the game is fun. »
