    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. That game was not for me. The only time i got interested on what was happening were when a boy swung so hard on the tree swing that it went flying and died, and that was probably because I was thinking that I should do it myself instead of finishing the game.
    All jokes aside, I don't know a single person that see this game as bad as I do, so I would say that everyone should give a fair chance, specially those interested in "walking simulators".    … Expand

    What Remains of Edith Finch's winding level layout and assorted storytelling mechanics break up the usual monotony of walking simulators. The deaths are tragic and beautiful, but they feel like they're building towards a payoff that never comes.

    A captivating story, narrated through genius gameplay choices. However, after the first rooms, it starts to become repetitive and obvious and the drama struggles to be plausible. A good game with a good story, nothing more, nothing less.

    It only took me two to three hours to complete, but the experience was excellent. Each character's story in the game takes a completely different approach, and all of them are amazing, showing each character's completely different persona, yet completely similar fate. Perfect performance, Tragic story, Smooth experience 10/10

    Amazing game. Crazy beautiful design of the house and all the surroundings. Very atmospheric, great music. However, I would have loved a bit more freedom to discover, it is 100% linear. And it is a bit short. Still 10/10

    Great story, beautiful visual and sound,
    controlling is just find
    like how the way to interact things but sometime it's very difficult to move around when you play with mouse (keyboard can help but very slow to move things)
    too sad that it is very short game but it's still great.

    Best interactive storytelling I've experienced. I don't know if you could really call it a game but it's definitely an artistic achievement. I would have given it a 10/10 if not for the ending that didn't deliver as expected and for the clunkiness.

    Super easy to play. Only 2.5 hours of gameplay. Sad musics and sad atmosphere. You basically follow the stories all the time, finches are huge family and every single member is died and our little one is trying to find out the reason. And stories are really hooking! Give it a try.

    There are times when games can be called experiences and this is one of them. What Remains of Edith Finch has one of the best stories of recent memory for me as well as one of the best imagined worlds I have every seen.

Each familyThere are times when games can be called experiences and this is one of them. What Remains of Edith Finch has one of the best stories of recent memory for me as well as one of the best imagined worlds I have every seen. At it’s core this is a walking simulator where you explore a house to find out the history of various family members. That doesn’t do this game justice though. Each family member has it’s own type of game to it when you are experiencing their final moments. For instance for Barbara you are literally in the comic book you are reading and watch things unfold on the page. For Lewis you are working at a canning plant and have to keep up with chopping fish as you explore his invented world he is getting lost in. There are others I could mention but will stop there to just say that the variety and inventiveness of the flashbacks blew me away. This is what walking sims can be and should strive to be. The game doesn’t point you where to go next but at the same time makes it apparent. The graphics were well done and made good use of colour. The detail on plants; objects; and water were great. The voice acting was superb throughout as was the music.

    I played What Remains of Edith Finch on Linux using Wine. It never crashed on me and I didn’t notice any bugs or glitches. There was a v-sync toggle; four AA settings; and six other graphics options. Alt-Tab didn’t work. The game saves automatically at various points. A manual save system would have been nice but the spacing between auto saves wasn’t terrible. Performance was overall very good. There were some drops in frame rate but they only lasted a second or two and otherwise was well above 60. The game does seem to have a frame rate cap of 120 FPS but that is better than some games using the Unreal engine that have a cap of 60.

    Game Engine: Unreal 4
    Graphics API: DXVK
    Disk Space Used: 2.5 GB

    Graphics Settings Used: V-sync off; all other settings on Ultra; 1920x1080
    GPU Usage: 4-100 %
    VRAM Usage: 1326-2183 MB
    CPU Usage: 11-29 %
    RAM Usage: 2.1-2.5 GB
    Frame Rate: 32-120 FPS

    I can easily say that What Remains of Edith Finch was amazing. It is storytelling at it’s finest and has a sense of wonder other games sorely lack. If you at all enjoy walking sims I urge you to check this game out. I paid $7.69 CAD for it but it is easily worth it’s current price tag of $25.59 CAD. I finished the game in 1 hour and 54 minutes but it makes every minute of that count. This shows that having a long play time isn’t needed to be a great game.

    Mysterious deaths in the family, fantasy histories that Edith needs to touch and discover on her own.

    This game made me feel sad. It is basically about deaths in the Finch family and how you experience them from a first person view.

    It is a walking simulator with few object interactions, the story is offered in a somewhat linear way, is fantasised, dreamed, narrated by Edith.

    Oyun başından sonuna ilgi çekici bir hikaye sunuyor. Ailenin her bir üyesinin fantastik hikayesi var ve her birinin sonunu kendi gözlerinden görüyoruz. Bunu yaparken değişik görsel stillere (çizgi roman gibi) ve farklı anlatım tekniklerine (balık fabrikasında çalışan gencin iş esnasında hayal dünyasında kurduğu dünyada oyun oynamak) başvuruyor. Bu sayede hem karakterlerle az da olsa bağ kuruyoruz hem de tek düzelikten uzak anlatımla sıkılmıyoruz. Bu arada o balık kesme bölümü tüm oyunlarda gördüğüm en etkileyici bölümlerden birisiydi. Çok yaratıcı ve zekice.

    Un gioco a cui sinceramente non riesco a trovare difetti, difficile da riassumere senza analizzarlo per punti.

    AUDIO E GRAFICA:
    Ottimo doppiaggio e bellissima l'idea di inserire i sottotitoli nell'ambiente in cui ci si muove, aiutando così anche a trovare la giusta strada da percorrere.
    Colonna sonora perfettamente adatta al tipo di gioco, sempre presente e crea l'atmosfera giusta ma non ruba mai la scena al gioco. Forse in certi momenti avrei preferito tracce musicali più "memorabili", invece ti rendi quasi mai conto della loro presenza.
    Graficamente il gioco è secondo me perfetto. Gli ambienti sono estremamente dettagliati e curati, ricchi di elementi (spesso legati alla trama anche se non ci si può interagire) e con uno stile estremamente riconoscibile. Questo infatti risulta essere sempre desaturato e rilassante.
    Da notare inoltre il fatto che, pur essendo un gioco indie e piuttosto semplice nelle meccaniche, non è leggerissimo per il computer (ho dovuto abbassare qualche parametro per giocare a 60 fps) vista proprio la cura per i dettagli. Ad esempio ci sono molti effetti particellari, molti oggetti animati, il mare animato e altri elementi che migliorano l'esperienza di gioco a discapito delle prestazioni.

    GAMEPLAY:
    In questo gioco tutto quello che bisogna fare è scoprire e ricostruire le storie dei vari membri della famiglia Finch, famosa per le sue disgrazie.
    Il gameplay base consiste quindi nello spostarci all'interno della casa di famiglia, seguire la storia ed interagire con qualche oggetto notevole.
    La parte più interessante però riguarda le singole storie dei famigliari, in cui ci troveremo davanti sempre ad un gameplay differente e sempre di un'originalità e qualità sconvolgenti.
    Non voglio fare spoiler a riguardo.

    STORIA:
    Ovviamente il punto forte del gioco o, per lo meno, quello che ti tiene incollato al computer fino alla fine.
    Come già accennato la trama base consiste nella protagonista che torna alla casa di famiglia per ripercorrere le storie dei parenti, tutti purtroppo colpiti da disgrazie.
    Nonostante si sappia quindi la fine di ogni "capitolo", le differenti personalità ed età dei protagonisti delle store permettono di creare una varietà veramente interessante, il tutto narrato in modo sempre molto sereno, mai drammatico.
    La storia di Lewis è una delle cose più belle a cui abbia mai giocato, con una storia estremamente commovente e un gameplay rivoluzionario.

    Per concludere, un gioco che emoziona e tiene incollati al computer dall'inizio alla fine (anche perchè si può finire in poche sessioni, e non avendo elementi esplorativi la durata non varia molto a seconda del giocatore), con elementi estremamente originali e una qualità complessiva elevatissima.

    This is counterargument, when someone said that "video games can't be an art". Also the only "first person walker" that do everything good: gameplay is unique, story it's not pretentious farts, and it's really could shrug you.

    The short stories which make this up may be hit or miss, but there is a sense of crescendo. That and the opening up of the house as you can explore more ensure that this game is engaging throughout. It is definitely a peak of the walking simulator, hopefully the genre can reach new heights

    What remains of Edith Finch...

    Even the name of this game gives you some ideas about philosophical theme of this masterpiece. What have left of once a big family? The main protagonist, Edith, is going to find it out.

    The game itself is the best walking simulator i have ever played in my life( and i have played enough, trust me). It has wonderful plot, soundtrack and atmosphere. But the best thing in this game is it's graphical design. It just blows your mind when you see it.

    The game can be separated on two parts: the first one is exploration of the big Finch's family house, and second is the re-living of family's member last moments of life( yes, all family members, expect Edith are dead, and it is not a spoiler). And this all is made wonderfully.

    The main gameplay is walking which during memories of the Finch's family members changes on some special activity, connected to the memory. This greatly brings atmosphere, thoughts and drama of every family member's last moments.

    I definitely recommend this game to everyone, who likes atmospheric games and who is ready to enjoy the story, drama and the philosophy of the game. It lengths for 2 hours, but believe me, this 2 hours will forever stay in your heart...    … Expand

    Absolutely terrible piece of crap mixed with steamy diarrhea and boogers. Imo not 0/10 because devs made such a "game" intentionally to win BAFTA GOTY and they did it without even trying to make their product actually good and putting nearly no effort in it (but pretending it was a very hard work of professional team, lol), I have nothing against them.

    The "game" itself is absolutely terrible in any aspect : design of the location is vapid, characters (there is literaly none of them, you "play" as an invisible dot floating around 1.6 meters above the surface, sometimes pretending to be a human by making noises), story itself and storytelling are made only to play on feelings of 14yo edgy unstable kids, gameplay is just walking from point A to B. You absolutely can't affect anything by interacting with it, just dull repeatable "press E to watch a something about another mentally ill person" ("win" is definetely not a fitting word here as it is not a game).
    On top of all that, it runs poorly on PC which can run any 2019 game on high / medium-high settings with smooth framerate, while its visual is somewhere around early 7th gen console game.

    The interesting part of the game is that each story is narrated in a different way, based on some peculiar trait or behavior or skill possessed by that person.
    Some stories are better and longer while others are just weird and last just few minutes.
    To trow an example without spoilers imagine that Edith "uncle Bob" was a skilled glam rock guitarist.
    The player will learn about Bob story while playing an interactive minigame based on music. During this minigame the game graphic (Backgrounds, fonts, point of view, but also ost) will change to resemble a 70's album cover.

    A walking simulator, about a family and their tragic story, that shows a lot of initial promise, but doesn't make good on all the suspense it builds (in other words: The Ending was unfulfilling, but the journey was good - though in a game that hinges exclusively on story, that's kind of a big deal!).

    This game takes you on an unrealistic and confusing journey that engages you through    A walking simulator, about a family and their tragic story, that shows a lot of initial promise, but doesn't make good on all the suspense it builds (in other words: The Ending was unfulfilling, but the journey was good - though in a game that hinges exclusively on story, that's kind of a big deal!).

    This game takes you on an unrealistic and confusing journey that engages you through little "mini-games" placed at the exact right moments and just enough suspense in the building story that you're able to forgive the game its intolerable walking speed and the unnecessary internal monologues of the main-character (the main character is a very pretentious and self-sanctimonious).

    If you can find this game on sale for less than $10 and you enjoy walking simulators, I think you'll probably enjoy this title - but don't expect fireworks.

Taken individually, each vignette is moving in its own way, and viewed as a whole it’s a mesmerizing exploration of loss and longing. Even though the events that take place are dreamlike and fantastical the team at Giant Sparrow have managed to imbue their game with such a vivid sense of melancholic wonder that I felt for each and every Finch, no matter how bizarre their personal story turned out to be. WROEF is a triumph of the imagination, and despite its understandably short running length, is a must for all gamers who enjoy being taken on a meaningful journey. Play this game.    … Expand

    Leisurely exploration of the estate is interspersed with stories about the last days of different Finch family members – and these moments show that developers didn’t just proclaim their love for H.P. Lovecraft, Neil Gaiman and other masters of magical realism, they really know that stuff. Giant Sparrow draws you into the little girl’s dreamworld just as easily as it paints a picture of kingly ambitions of a factory worker. [Issue#221, p.81]
