    Not a bad game. The only problem is that the choices are not as effective as they should be in a game like this.

    Es una maravilla, una historia de misterio y asesinatos a lo Agatha Christie, una historia impredecible, te hace desconfiar de todos los personajes y comerte la cabeza pensando en mil misterios que poco a poco van tomando forma. La trama es súper adulta y tiene mogollón de decisiones difíciles que hay que tomar y cambian completamente la historia , decisiones que realmente importan.

    but after i passed equator of the game in the moment its became SO INTERESTING and good, for no reason, iuunno, i cant explain it, but game was just fine, and then it became like WOW, very interesting. and i played it, i enjoyed rest of it so much, but it was only 2-3 hours, then i finished, looks like i got worst ending ever, and those questions, those interest in game i got few hours ago hasnt been satisfied, game leaves you with nothing, with emptiness.
    i will try it again later with different perspective, and im sure itll be great, but now its only 7/10    … Expand

    VERY COOL, everything is like in real life, no cliches, all the choices greatly affect the plot, there are a lot of endings and they are very different, until the end of the game you don’t know who the origami killer is, everything is very cool, but the graphics still fall short and the control is not very good convenient.

    This game is the biggest disappointment for me. Maybe when it came out people didn't know what an interactive movie could be. The gameplay consists of pressing buttons that have no effect in most cases, but some button can unexpectedly kill your character. There are many useless moments in the game that should entertain the player, swaddling a baby, playing golf, cooking scrambled eggs.This game is the biggest disappointment for me.

The gameplay consists of pressing buttons that have no effect in most cases, but some button can unexpectedly kill your character. There are many useless moments in the game that should entertain the player, swaddling a baby, playing golf, cooking scrambled eggs. When, instead of somehow consciously influencing the plot, the player is given the opportunity to play golf. It's strange that beyond has continued this tradition of pushing buttons, instead of detroit-style elections. Why such high ratings? The game is incredibly annoying, it is impossible to pass it in a couple of days, a maximum of an hour a day, because constantly watching your character wash or look in the mirror for 2 minutes is annoying. Good graphics, good animations, average plot, boring gameplay, not bad, but often cyclical and annoying music. I had problems with the gamepad from 360, everything is fine on the mouse and keyboard, the game does not crash. I spent the whole game hoping that my pain would be rewarded, but the ending did not evoke any emotions. This is a story game, let me affect on it and don't dance by pressing buttons… Expand

    A game with a plot of 10/10. Quantic dream are able to create games with a cool plot.
    Gameplay 8/10. Dynamic gameplay, but sometimes annoying.
    Music 10/10
    Graphics 7/10. The graphics of this game are good for 2010, but not very good for 2022.
    The game is very cool, I advise you to play.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, all the other interactive dramas I've played were videogames in the first place and movies in the second. Let's say Life is Strange is 70% game / 30% movie, Walking Dead is 60% game / 40% movie - what the ratio would be for Heavy Rain? Let's ponder this together. Would you agree with me if I said Heavy Rain is only 10% game and 90% movie? No? Then let me explain my math: first of all, the movements of every single character are quite restrained by the small locations they are put in and there is basically nothing for you to do but to follow the director's orders (the last time I checked HR wasn't an actor simulator). Second of all, how common it is for a game to have four "playable" characters between which you can't even switch on your own. Also Heavy Rain is using a very common in cinematography editing tool - splitting screen in two or more sections to show completely different locations simultaneously. It is unheard of that in a videogame the character you were playing as managed to commit a murder by himself in secret from you! I think it is outragous! I think you, as a developer of a videogame, have to have certain kind of audacity to do this - unless it is not a videogame. So what makes this title a videogame beside the fact it is marketing itself as one? One could say "there is gameplay" - sure, you control a bunch of stuff...wait, you actually control nothing. Your only objective as a player is to make sure you press the right buttons in the right way or/and move stick/mouse in the way the "game" asks you to just in order to advance the story and finally finish this movie. I easily can see it being implemented into any other real movie - just pause the movie every 30 seconds and make the viewer to press certain buttons to continue it. Would it make a videogame? Doubtfully. At first I really loved the idea - your hand imitating the movement of the character's hand, it would be a great immersive mechanic in, you know, real videogame. Okay, maybe you at least can write your own story where you choices matter? Nah, it is only by the end of the story you get a chance to make some significant choices - 80% of the time Heavy Rain doesn't even bother itself with giving you at least an illusion of freedom. "But dialogues! You can choose what to say!" - you are joking, right? Dialogues is where Quantic Dream really **** up in its attempt to create a videogame. 90% of the time it is impossible to guess what exactly your character will say - could as well not bother myself and just watch a cutscene.

    Okay, but how good is Heavy Rain as a movie? I don't think there is any need to say the writing is superb. It is basically on the same level as L.A. Noire writing is and if you played it you know it means a lot. The actors, the presentation, the atmosphere, the music - everything deserves the highest appraisal. Though the plot itself is flawed: 1) why we didn't get explained what all those Ethan blackouts were all about, especially why he was holding an origami in his hand after the first one ( it seems to me that it was just a pretty cheap way to fool us into thinking he is the origami killer and that's fine if only they didn't forget to tie this loose end) 2) There was no way to guess Shelby is the origami killer - not a single clue was given throughout the whole game. Even worse - since it is a videogame and Shelby is a playable character whose thoughts we can hear it is hard to believe there wasn't a single thought which would give up the fact he is the killer or at least that there is more to the character than it could seem on the first glance. Everything indicates to the fact that David Cage had no idea who the killer was going to be and the decision to make the private detective one was made in the final stages of the production if not then it is just poor writing and I don't know what is worse.

    Conclusion

    If I was to rate it as a game I would rate it 4/10. If I was to rate it as a movie I would rate it 9/10 for the innovative approach and creation of a new genre in cinematography - gamified movie. My advice is if for some reason you can't play it don't sweat it and maybe you would be better off watching the whole playthrough on YouTube then playing it yourself. For example, I would rather enjoy the perfectly choreographed chase and fighting scenes sitting peacefully on my coach instead of distracting myself with these silly "press the right buttons in the right time" minigames in order for the scene to unfold itself while missing half of the aforementioned scene in the process because all my attention is focused on what button to press next. It genuinely feels as though someone created a movie and decided to turn it into a videogame in the last second.    … Expand

    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.

    I played this on PC in 2021. The game is incredibly good. A lot of work and talent was put into this piece of art. I'm not exaggerating - this is really a piece of art. The game has multiple choices and multiple endings. I'm sure you will want to replay it. It's an incredibly complex masterpiece, so I noticed some flaws, mostly in continuity and logic (but I can be easily wrong). Anyway, II played this on PC in 2021. The game is incredibly good.

    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.

    Even ten years after its premiere, this interactive thriller from David Cage is still great. Sometimes you can sense the age when it comes to visuals, but if you haven’t played this yet, you are in for a treat.
