    RiME is pleasant both to my eyes and ears, but its uninspired gameplay does not evoke anything remotely worthwhile in my heart.

    Una obra maestra. Jugado en el año 2021 no se aprecia ningún síntoma de envejecimiento.
    No tiene una elevada dificultad, y tampoco es un juego largo. Pero es una auténtica experiencia visual, sonora y jugable que tocará todos tus sentidos y te llegará al alma.

    RiME is one of the most artful games of last decade, and by no means a bad one.
    It just should have put the amazing ideas, and the very artful and symbolic but also
    non-linear and abstract story into a more fun and more varied gameplay experience.
    It is pretty repetitive, and it overall feels like more of a tool, to tell an excellent story.
    Seeing the heartbreaking and beautiful story unfold is an amazing journey, all portrayed
    in a beautiful artstyle.    … Expand

    AUDIO E GRAFICA:
    Sicuramente gli aspetti più curati del gioco. Lo stile grafico è davvero bello e curato, così come il comparto sonoro che unisce una colonna sonora molto bella a suoni semplici ma perfetti.

    GAMEPLAY:
    Il gameplay è abbastanza semplice in quanto avremo a disposizione le azioni base dei puzzle game (corsa, salto e trascinare oggetti) ma con qualche elemento in più che caratterizza il gioco.
    Non ci sono quasi nemici per cui la difficoltà principale è nel risolvere gli enigmi, abbastanza originali e alcuni non semplicissimi.

    STORIA:
    Nonostante le nostre azioni e molte ambientazioni non siano effettivamente utili ai fini della trama, quest'ultima serve come spinta verso la fine del gioco. Infatti risulta estremamente frammentata e misteriosa, ma proseguendo nel gioco sarà sempre più chiara.
    Bellissima inoltre l'atmosfera e il senso di libertà che dà il gioco, nonostante le aree siano si ampie ma piuttosto guidate.

    In conclusione, il gioco è breve ma abbastanza originale, o comunque piacevole.

    This game definitely knows how to build a world in an appealing way. Every level drawn me to uncover mysteries of what is happening in the world and in the story. Ending maybe a pinch underwhelming. I'm general though, it is a very solid game that I would definitely recommend.

    Great indie game: a graphically pleasent, heartfelt metaphorical plot that reveals itself little by little through the gameplay elements. Yes, the gameplay and puzzles are simple, but that doesn't take any of the beauty and impact of this beautifully crafted story.

    Audio/Visually this game is a 10. Sadly the performance is not good. _ Exploration/open world is a no: it's a pretty linear game, and the world feels kind of empty. _ Puzzles are alright, fairly easy. I recommend it for the looks and atmosphere

    One of the better games of its kind. Beautiful design, interesting world. Creates a sense of wonder and makes you want to explore.
    I also liked the "story", well it's barebones but it doesn't get in you way and makes you think a bit at the end.

    This is a masterpiece. It had only one graphical glitch that lasted around 3 minutes in the entire game. As a father of a newborn son, I felt unprecedented emotions while advancing in the game. I definitely recommend it. Thank you Tequila works for this game.

    The game is gorgeous, I have never had any game have such an impact on me as this one. The game is downright beautiful, the music is great, it's relaxing but most of all it has so much meaning, so much more than most games I've ever played. Rime is a game I'll hold close to my heart forever.

    Es una pena que el "núcleo central" del juego, no sea especialmente brillante.

    There is no "story" in the game, but that's perfectly intentional. The idea is that you're simply thrown into this world without any idea as to what it is like or what to expect. You have to discover everything for yourself for the first time, as if you're in the game itself.

    The sights are amazing, and the soundtrack fits the ambiance perfectly. RiME takes inspiration from an adventure game like ICO and uses climbing mechanics from a game like Tomb Raider. The game is quite lengthy and the puzzles are balanced very nicely; not too hard and not too easy.

    RiME is a solid adventure game, but there's nothing more to it to really make you go "Wow!". It's just a feels-good, "take a relaxing day off" kind of game. You will definitely enjoy the experience.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. DO NOT PLAY if you have lost a child or loved one. Or if you have an ounce of humanity, really. This game starts off beautiful and charming, is delightful to play with intuitive puzzles, very well done, but i was horribly sucker-punched by the devastatingly depressing ending. Ruined the whole experience for me. I bawled for the rest of the night, could not stop crying. How is it necessary to bring the whole thing crashing down with such a horrible realization at the end of the game? If you insist on playing, for best results play the game up to the rain-filled level and then...just STOP. Some reviewers breeze through calling it "heartbreaking", which seems to understate the betrayal i felt when i realized what had been the truth all through the game from the beginning. Ugh. I guess it wouldn't have been as much of a stab in the back if i hadn't been so taken in and liked the game so much before that.… Expand

    I'm at a loss why Steam responds to certain games with absolutely overwhelming support, and then lets other games like Fossil Echo or Papo and Yo just sit there.

Seems like the arthouse crowd is sometimes too lazy to buy anything on this platform, and some people have absurd expectations with budget titles, which is a shame because games like this deserve better sales.

    Rime is an amazing experience. It's as simple as that. I played this on PS4, and all I can say is the graphics are even better here, and the FPS is a solid 60 on my 1070/2600K setup with 1080p. Anything more and you might run into some troubles without better hardware.

    It's totally acceptable that this game wears its inspiration on its sleeves, and yet who cares when it all comes together this well? Miyazaki films, Joaquín Sorolla paintings, and the games Journey and Ico come to mind. This world is so profoundly lovely and attractive that I can basically overlook almost any flaws with the game.

    The gameplay experience is actually soothing and fun to me, and I enjoy a very wide variety of games and difficulties across genres. No, you aren't going to be challenged like some SMB platformer or a PUBG gun game. It's not meant to be that way. It wouldn't even work that way. This is a relaxing puzzle game that swings toward the easier side, but it makes up for it with a decent amount of collectibles, and the game never overstays its welcome.

    The graphics and world here are like some amalgamation of a Miyazaki film, Wind Waker, and ABZU/Ico. Honestly, I wasn't sure I was going to be impressed by their world, as there is limited interaction, but it is actually a breathtaking accomplishment. I am injecting SMAA at 1080p and the image quality is fantastic. While not overly detailed the bloomy resonance of the island recalls games like Ico and Shadow of the Colossus in tone to the point you really got to congratulate the team of 18 people in Spain that made this over the years. It was a struggle, but what a diamond that struggle birthed. There is just something wonderful about running around a deserted place that has no equivalency in the modern world.

    I cannot help but love this thing. It's too charming to hate, too pretty to leave behind, and overall the experience is something that the whole family can enjoy. You would think there would be a bigger audience for such an indie, but with time more and more people will find this gem as it releases on all the platforms.

    Anyone looking for a beautiful world spanning day and night that wants to solve a few puzzles and gaze at some gorgeous visuals is in for a treat here. Some of the collectibles are hidden fairly well and will take some logical thinking to collect. It's all very peaceful and heartwarming. Highly recommended.    … Expand

Se mueve de un lado a otro, trepa por algunas paredes, levanta objetos e interactúa con su medio ambiente mediante sonidos. Es lo que algunos llamarían "un juego de caminar".
