The Best Movie Game (Riddick)
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay
2004 was one of the most incredible years in gaming, bringing us some of the most widely revered videogames in history, and the launch of the Nintendo DS, one of the widest selling handhelds of all time.
And The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay is amongst them – a relic from an era when games were made with love, when the potential of first person shooters as a holistic, immersive experience was really being explored, a true passion that seems largely lost in the industry now.
The stealth mechanics were greatly inspired by Thief and Deus Ex, forcing you into the shadows with super difficult combat and touchy stealth.
Riddick’s superpower is that he can see in the dark and turning off lights in sections can leave your enemies floundering as you quietly pick them off, bringing together all of the games mechanics and making you think constantly about how to engage.
And I think the coolest thing about this game is the actual prison itself – the haunting screams of the prisoners from their cells, the graffiti etched all over the walls – the brutality of the fights and the blazé disregard for life on behalf of every single character in this game. The darkness in this game is truly dark, yet light is not your friend either.
This game is incredible, it is a true passion project, a perfectly executed ambition, and well remembered as such.
However it’s also borderline abandonware – an endangered species. It is available on Amazon for PC as part of a bundle with Assault on Dark Athena, which is actually remastered too, but other than that, it seems to be unavailable, or ridiculously expensive.
By whatever means you can play it, I highly recommend it!
