Spooky atmosphere and a great story save Dracula: Origin from being a formulaic pixel hunt.
The Good
* Atmospheric reimagination of Bram Stoker's classic novel
* Extremely challenging puzzles
* Solid (if more than a bit melodramatic) voice acting.
The Bad
* Gameplay is too focused on pixel hunts
* Awfully obtuse at times, especially the set-piece logic puzzles.
