    Сюжет неплох, чего и следовало ожидать от визуальной новеллы, однако экспозиция ну оооочень затянута и скучна, из-за ее всратости не удивлюсь, если кто - нибудь забросил игру в первые 2 часа. Персонажи интересные и классные, выбор влияет, атмосфера просто запредельная, графика оставляет желать лучшего, но игра все-таки 2010 года, так что можно сделать игре снисхождение.

    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.

    Epic PC version of the game is swarming with bugs and glitches, has terrible performance issues and framerate freezes with outdated graphics in 2019. The main story is mediocre though, but that doesn't save the whole game. And don't listen to those EGS fanboys and shills with 10/10, they'll eat everything!

    very good game. original deep story, not too easy, not too hard. it's possible to repeat the chapter after you die with a character. sometimes it seems a bit slow, but it's art. not a stupid shooter.

    I was a huge fan of Heavy Rain on PS4 & PS3. This port is just a mess, first of all you know you've lost respect for a studio when you question them about the relentless glitches and frame rate freezes and they laugh it off. I can't even get passed the first chapter and within 2 hours of trying to play, it freezes every 1-10 minutes.

    Awful game. I waited years to play this since I never owned a PS3 and I remember it getting rave reviews. I finally got to play it and was blown away by how terrible this game was.

    My first complaint is the controls, they're nonsensical and unresponsive, sometimes you have to tap rapidly and it just doesn't register, you also sometimes have to wriggle at a medium pace, too fast or too    Awful game.

    My first complaint is the controls, they're nonsensical and unresponsive, sometimes you have to tap rapidly and it just doesn't register, you also sometimes have to wriggle at a medium pace, too fast or too slow and you fail, it's like threading a needle. Also the shaking dialogue options that time-out quickly make it impossible to choose anything.

    The absolute worst thing about this game is the story, it is absolutely awful, which is surprising considering that that is all the game has, it is an entirely story-driven game, there is no Gameplay whatsoever, unless you count Quick-time events as Gameplay. The story ridiculous, it makes no sense. The game literally lies to you and then changes it's own story at the end to make a plot-twist work. Nothing the characters say or do makes any sense. Jason is also mentally disabled, you are forced to look away from your son and then he runs away and outside of a mall before jumping in front of a car, a crash which you take the full impact of and yet your son Jason is the one who dies.

    The voice acting is equally terrible. I understand that the voice actors were French but their English is awful and every line of dialogue is delivered flat with no intonation or emotion. It's god awful to sit through and the game is like a parody of itself.

    I am convinced that either the critics who reviewed this game were paid or that they simply lied to appear intelligent.

    I don't even know why I gave this game a 3, I can't think of anything I liked about it or anything the game did right, I just feel that a giving this game a 0 would be too contrarian and would take as much thought as the critics who loved this game.    … Expand

At another point there was a standoff and i killed a guy because there was a button prompt but the button prompt didnt say **** go **** and murder him on the spot".
    Its hard to pick the dialogue choices you want - not because they are all interesting but because the writing floats in circles and wiggles making it impossible to read in the time they want you to make a choice. On top of that they tend to change numbers - i.e. if a dialogue choice was previous button "2" then in the next spinwheel dialogue choice it might be 3 or 4 and thats just stupid af.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.
