i still have that game on my good old playstation but unfortunately, the game is a bit over-used and had difficulty to run correctly, i would totally love to play it again on my computer this time! i seriously had fond memory with it. once again, i WANT to play it again!
There's something about this game that stuck with me mind through all these years. Despite its age, its magic never really left.
The game does a fantastic job doing tons of things with not much. It feels big and immersive, almost like what I'd be imagining myself when playing pretend as a kid. The world is hostile, you're just a kid, but you'll get through with perseverance and cleverness. Each section keeps things fresh and unique without getting boring. Oh, and don't get me started on those fantastically animated, gruesome, yet bloodless death animations.
Nowadays, it's hard to play the game again without owning the original PlayStation copy. I wish it was on PC!
i used to have this game in CD, it was so hard to play at the time but i miss so much, i cant find it and will be awesome if GOG could bring it back to me and all gamers around the world
It felt like playing a classic Pixar story, full of heart (not just darkness). It's a lengthy adventure with elaborate cutscenes every time you ventured into a new area. The gameplay is all about memorizing enemy timing, animations, and running through hazardous environments while fending off enemies with your laser bug zapper. It was challenging but wanting to see the next great cutscene was worth it. It was a hidden gem at the time and sadly never got the attention it deserved.
I still have the PC version in CD-Rom, but unfortunately I had some issues when I tried to play the game in my Windows 10. I would like to play this game again, I remember how beautiful, difficult and challenging it was to me when I was younger and I still did not finished this game.
If you cherish atmospheric storytelling, games that dare to challenge you, or Eric Chahi’s unparalleled design philosophy, like i do, Heart of Darkness is a must-play. It’s a game that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll, much like Another World did. Let’s rally to bring this forgotten masterpiece to GOG. Some memories deserve to live forever—and this one is begging for a second chance.
Игра из далекого детства, в котором еще не было ничего из того, что есть сейчас. Но это именно та игра, которая на столько сильно сидит в памяти, что вспоминаются даже окружающие меня запахи, тех далеких дней
Beautiful in its straightforward cruelty - to main hero and to the player, got very strong emotions because I felt so sorry for the boy.) Its dark atmosphere and gorgeous landscapes are enchanting.
It's a crying shame it took so long to make this game. When it was released, everyone was hot for high res or 3D graphics, no one was looking for a 2D game that looks as if it was made for DOS.
I bought it anyway ... and boy is this good. It's the next step for games like Another World, a bit more streamlined. It has it's share of unfair puzzles and is very frustrating at times, but overall the level design is quite good.
The soundtrack was played by the London Symphony Orchestra, beating most what was around at that time.
I still own the CD version, with the 3D filter glassess included. When you finish the game, you can rewatch the intro sequence in red/blue filtered 3D.

Skate or Die: Bad 'N RadSkate Or Die: Bad'N Rad is a Jump'N Run that consists of 7 levels, three of which are viewed from a top-down perspective. The side-scrolling levels play similar to other Jump'N Runs, as you have to avoid obstacles and kill enemies by jumping on them. However, since you are on a skateboard, speed plays an important role, meaning that you cannot immediately stop and sometimes need to drive at full speed to manage wider jumps. The top-down levels play more similar to other Skate Or Die games as gradients influence your driving while you are trying to avoid obstacles, enemies and deadly spikes.Action
