    The PC version offers the graphical excellence for this amazing 2010 interactive drama, which is getting low scores from Epic Games haters. The game will be released on other stores once the exclusivity deal is over.

    The game is very cool, I liked it, I was shocked when I recognized the real origami master, unexpectedly. Of course, there are a lot of questions for the game, but so it is perfect. I went to the best endings, thanks to the developers for such a game!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Another super cool game from Quantic Dream which had so many things in common with Detroit Become Human.
    Characters, atmosphere, engaging story, length of the game, music and simply everything was perfect. My favorite character was Scott, who turned out to be the killer himself. It was actually quite interesting to play as the villain (and trying to get him through things successfully) without knowing about it.
    As it turns out the game has 17 different endings! Makes it worth to play the game several times.

    So I got really excited that all Quantic Dream titles are coming to PC and immediately grabbed Heavy Rain. To get into the feel of it I've played shortly before its release an earlier title of Quanic - Fahrenheit, which I had for quite some time lying in my library, and that wasn't necessarily the best decision -
    This is just to say that feels a lot like Fahrenheit re-imagination. That's    So I got really excited that all Quantic Dream titles are coming to PC and immediately grabbed Heavy Rain. To get into the feel of it I've played shortly before its release an earlier title of Quanic - Fahrenheit, which I had for quite some time lying in my library, and that wasn't necessarily the best decision -
    This is just to say that feels a lot like Fahrenheit re-imagination. That's not necessarily bad, and the result is not bad at all, but seriously, there were just too many aspects of imagination between the titles.

    Bottom line:
    +Choices! That's the main praise for Heavy Rain - your choices quite much matter, there are plenty of endings and outcomes for each
    +Graphics look good even today
    +Solid PC Port (not sure why all the hatred)
    +Likeable characters for a change
    +Relateable story
    +Satisfying length
    +Plot is mainly good, BUT (see negative points)
    +- Quick-time events gameplay
    -Same soundtrack segments repetitively played during the game resulting a lacking & tiring soundtrack
    -Some major plot hole(s), story doesn's always make sense
    -At many times - BAD dialogues
    -Not the best voice acting

    So that pretty much says it all. As I played it with Fahrenheit in mind, I was glad the characters are actually likeable, and the game made me care about them and relate to them (didn't happen in previous title). Even along the somewhat mediocre voice-acting and bad script, I wanted everyone to get a happy ending.
    The QTE gameplay does get on your nerves from time to time, but well, we know that's how Quantic like it.
    For an interactive movie this is way beyond solid experience, especially since there are not many video games done this way out there.
    I know games are known to be a bit clunky on reviews but still hoping they get even better (Definitely going to try Beyond & Detroit on PC).    … Expand

    MasterPiece!

    Todo suspense que gira em torno do jogo é fantasticamente bem estruturado. Os personagens são ricos e altamente empáticos, com problemas reais e diálogos que beiram a realidade. O enredo sabe muito bem quando usar cada um e não tem medo de ferrar com sua timeline. A ost é muito boa, e para um jogo remasterizado de 2010, os gráficos são excelentes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ITALIAN:
    Più che di un videogioco bisognerebbe parlare di un film interattivo.

    AUDIO E GRAFICA:
    Comparto grafico che nella versione PC è aggiornato rispetto a quello della versione PS3, risultando piuttosto gradevole soprattutto nei volti. Manca un po' di occlusione ambientale che a tratti fa sembrare che i personaggi non tocchino terra. Inoltre alcune scene di intermezzo secondo me non sono state rifatte e quindi risultano più brutte e meno fluide (come se andassero ai 30 FPS della PS3 nonostante il gioco vada a 60 FPS su PC).

    Per quanto riguarda l'audio invece è tutto molto buono e anche il doppiaggio italiano non è male, pecca solo in certi personaggi (come Madison) e nella poca varietà di certe frasi.

    GAMEPLAY:
    In un gioco del genere il gameplay è abbastanza secondario ma risulta a tratti comunque interessante.

    Carina l'idea di interagire con gli elementi sfruttando vari movimenti dell'analogico destro del controller (non so come sia con mouse e tastiera), così come la presenza di molti quick time events (alcuni lunghi e complessi).

    Pessimo invece il sistema di movimento dei personaggi e di gestione della telecamera. L'idea sarebbe quella di dare un taglio cinematografico ad ogni scena, ma spesso le inquadrature cambiano di colpo, non si capisce bene lo spazio e pur cambiando la visuale (con un tasto si cambia tra due inquadrature) a volte certe zone rimangono difficilmente visibili.

    STORIA (no spoiler):
    Ovviamente il punto più alto del gioco.
    Pur durando solo 7 ore circa la trama sa essere profonda e complessa, ma sempre chiara e coerente. È presente qualche situazione non spiegata e buco di trama, ma ci si può passare sopra (di cui parlerò nella sezione spoiler).

    Bellissima l'idea di controllare 4 personaggi diversi le cui storie nel tempo si intrecciano.
    La trama di Heavy Rain è quella che avrei voluto in L.A. Noire, che invece pecca nel voler affrontare più storie ma senza far empatizzare con nessuna di queste.

    In conclusione, non è un gioco da tutti perchè è piuttosto lento nel gameplay e molto legato alla storia, ma se si è alla ricerca di una trama interessante si fa fatica a trovare di meglio, soprattutto rispetto a quanto dura.

    VOTO: 8.5/10

    SPOILER:
    Ci sono alcune situazioni non spiegate che rovinano la credibilità della storia.
    Innanzitutto il padre di Shaun, dopo i suoi blackout, si risveglia più volte in strada con un origami in mano. Giustamente si pensa subito a lui come Assassino dell'Origami ma non lo è e la cosa non viene mai spiegata.

    Inoltre verso la fine Madison ottiene il nome dell'assassino e reagisce stupita, ma in realtà non mi pare si siano mai incontrati prima.

    Infine ha poco senso che sul luogo di rapimento di Shaun la polizia voglia uccidere Ethan quando a poca distanza c'è Norman che combatte con l'assassino e dovrebbero vederlo/sentirlo.    … Expand

    The main distinguishing part of this game is the many different endings. In addition to this, an interesting story, denouement, characters. This game is commendable.

    Heavy Rain is still a good game with an interesting story, despite the fact that It was originally released 10 years ago. The PC version is a solid port, with the exception of the keyboard - mouse controls which have some problems. Nevertheless, it’s a great opportunity for PC gamers to experience it for the first time.
