May 5, 2017This is sincerely one of the best games I've ever played. What this team gets and is so often missed by other developers is that in a story driven game, you should tell it in a way that only a game can. The mechanics of storytelling in What Remains of Edith Finch are the new bar set that all future developers should strive to achieve.

May 4, 2017This is clearly one of the best games ever created. It won't be for everyone but the story is great, the characters fine, the cinematography spectacular. Whoever made this must be praised.

May 24, 2017A beautiful game in every sense of the word. The story, voice work, gameplay and visuals were all done so expertly, I can't fault any aspect of this game. It made me feel every emotion possible from laugh out loud happiness to complete sadness, this was a truly wonderful experience that I can't recommend highly enough.

May 8, 2017This is the easiest 10 I gave to a game lately. It's unique, fantastic, moving and beautiful. Also, it's the saddest thing I've ever played, which is a lot, given the existence of To The Moon.
-
Jan 3, 2021This game is amazing. A fairy tale. A really simple journey, what an amazing detailed world, it's absolutelly stunning. I'm not a fan of this kind of games, until I played this. It's really gorgeous, and really worth the buy.
-

Jul 8, 2017Wonderful visuals, unique and heartbreaking story. It's short and sweet. It's definitely one of the most surprising games of the year. I'm sure it's going to be nominated for the best indie and I'm hoping it wins
-
Sep 1, 2017Great story, great characters, great music and a great game. This game is so fun to play. I think it deserves a GOTY nominee at least. Love that and I can recommend this to everyone.

May 20, 2020An amazing game with a story that made me cry Can .recommend it warmly ....
-
Apr 26, 2020One of the best story driven adventures out there.
It is very emotional and creative without any action or horror elements.
Huge recommend to all lovers of non-violent exploration games. -
May 22, 2017this game is a true master-peace the story is very good the soundtrack the music evry thing is good is not very challenging but it tells a great story in unique way like none other

Feb 7, 2021When an indie game is better than an AAA Game. Whoever wants to make a narrative game will have to learn from this masterpiece.
-
May 8, 2017It's a "walking simulator" game but, not a simple one, it is a very original one. Amazing game, emotional, mysterious, interactive, really good atmosphere and the way in which the stories are narrated is very original, each one with it owns way of showing it to the player. I want to know the things that these developers can do with future games. REALLY WORTH IT!!!!
-
May 17, 2017Played this game at around 15fps, still loved every part of It, Its one of those games where you wish you can replay.. but you can't. The only complaint would be that It was very short (around 2 hours ish)

Aug 15, 2017Very Nice thing to Play. Storyline is just perfect, a little bit sad, but very moving! The First impression was so genuine! I have never felt horrified while playing, despite the fact that you play alone with nobody alive around, only past, that is tragic and unhappy!
-
Aug 7, 2018What Remains of Edith Finch is an amazing videogame experience and the less you know learn about it before playing the better.
-
Mar 1, 2021Mysterious 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. -
Apr 14, 2018It is indeed a beautiful and captivating story. Every minute in this game was worth it, simply incredible.
-
Oct 12, 2018I am starting disappointed for metacritic. People here is unreasonably picky and I even saw a 0 score for Edith Finch..unbelievable. I will give 9.5 for its brave and beautiful narratation!

-
Oct 18, 2022amazing game.. thank you so much.. beautiful design and music.. story was touching also ... merci
-
Oct 16, 2019You just wanna keep on and see what happened to whom in that crooked house next? Wish there were more games like this that focuses on individual moments and stories, with a narrative that is woven beautifully.
-
Feb 25, 2019This is a perfect example of a game that is primarily exploration/story-based that allows for enough creative interactivity to keep the story going. If more so-called "walking simulators" took notes from What Remains of Edith Finch, the genre would be better-viewed on the whole.
-
Sep 8, 2019I'm so proud this game won BAFTA Game of The Year award, totally deserves it, everyone should play it. Brilliant story.

Sep 5, 2019This game is perfect, it has a perfect storyline and a beautiful story, it may been one of the best games I have ever play in mi whole life. When it was released, I didn't know how good was this game.

Jan 30, 2020The best game I've played in a long time. Is it a book? Is it a movie? No, it's a game!

Jun 24, 2020What Remains of Edith Finch is a unique experience, it uses the interaction of videogames to tell it's story and does that in a way that I've never seen before.
-
Jun 26, 2020This 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.

Sep 14, 2020The best game i‘ve ever played. A great story, with so many different characters. A game that must be very close to you. I love it. Clear recommendation.

Dec 31, 2020Süper hikaye, Süper oyun. Biraz kısa sürsede çok güzel bir deneyimdi. Full hikaye odaklı bir oyun istiyorsanız beklemeden alın derim.

Feb 7, 2022It's simply great. Be prepared to surge in a maelstorm of emotions. Higly recommended for fans if Telltale games.
-
Jun 15, 2021this is an amazing indie game with an amazing story and probably the best walking simulator there is.

Aug 30, 2022Amazing 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
-
Apr 19, 2022Super 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.
-
Nov 22, 2022É lindo, fantástico, com uma linda música, linda história, linda arte... É aquele tipo de jogo que te deixa parado encarando o nada por um bom tempo até tu digerir o que acabou de absorver.
-
Feb 15, 2023I loved the game, I expected it would be a misterious/puzzle/horror game, but the story surprised me. Beautiful game.
-
Dec 21, 2022Dura solo 2 horas tenes que jugar este juego no te lo podes perder es una experiencia hyper mega flashera! Recomiendo 100%
-
May 31, 2023It 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
-
Apr 6, 2019The environment is an absolute joy to explore as Edith Finch explores her family's house to uncover their stories of unluck. Absolutely stunning story telling. I absolutely loved my playthrough.

Apr 10, 2018The game introduces entirely new mechanics and ways to tell the story every couple of minutes. It's only 3 hours long, but it's very refreshing. It may not be the best story ever told in video games, but it's not about the story itself, it's about how this story is being presented to the viewer.

Mar 18, 2020Played a few years after it came out so I had forgotten everything about it and that was perfect.
Such a great story with a great game to tell it.
It's sad but very very good so don't go expecting to feel excited when you are done, but you will feel more at peace with the universe. So you got that going for you. -

Jan 20, 2019When a game makes you smile or sad theres something good about it, What remains of edith finch is an interactive story that takes you through the tragic history about a family. is really well written if you dont enjoy good stories go and play COD, this is about to sit ,watch, hear and enjoy
-

-
Jul 14, 2017Finally a "game" that fully exploits the narration! The player, or rather, the spectator, has nothing more than to move between one story and the other and enjoy it. Aesthetically interesting and very, very creative. The fact that a game virtually free from violence and the usual dysentery of action has been so successful, it is hoping.

May 3, 2017Amazing! It really does get sad the closer you get to the end. And since I had it on PC their were only maybe 2 or 3 times that my fps dipped down into to the 30- 40's. Other than that it was a nice 60 + fps. I really would recommend this game to people who love good stories. Just sit back and enjoy the game.

Feb 18, 2019Excellent story, simple but at the same time awesome. A myst have game if you like narrative games, more than shooting everywhere.
Play calm with plenty of time, do not hurry.
Enjoy the story. -
May 11, 2017It's a narrative game with great storytelling mechanics. I really enjoyed the story and the way it's told (using player's actions). Highly recommended for story driven games fans.
-
May 22, 2017Best visual novel at this point. Great story, magnificent interior designs, You can believe that it was a room of real person, unique one. Two hours of emotion.

Jan 26, 2018I think that this is truly a unique game and I would recommend that if you are a fan of this type of genre then I think you should give this game a try.
-
Aug 26, 2017As I played, I began not only wander but wonder. Such a beautiful game, the characters, and the story is written perfectly, incredibly sad and tragically beautiful.
-
Sep 24, 2017One of the most amazing story game experience i have ever played! 2017 has been very poor on gaming, but there are still gems like this among the big boring AAA games.
-
Oct 3, 2018The best title in it's genre. Lots of unique and clever ideas. Very close to 10/10!

Sep 12, 2020A truly beautiful visual tale, driven by fascinating stories and shown through equally fascinating visual means. The stellar reviews are fully deserved!
-
Jan 12, 2019Un juego increible que en todo momento te mantiene en suspenso, con cada una de las historias que vas encontrando, con un final perfecto.
El unico pero que podria tener es que es un juego demasiado corto aunque la trama es sumamente envolvente -
Nov 3, 2019This game is the perfect argument in the debate that shouldn't be: Are games a form of art?
Of course they are! Just try this for 2 hours and you'll want to put it in your special shelf near your favorite book or movie. -
Feb 20, 2022Probably the best story based game I have played to date, everything is really well done. A bit on the short side though.
-
Feb 18, 2019Definirlo como un juego no es preciso; es más bien un cuento visual, con el que recorres la trágica historia de la familia Finch.
Una delicia creativa lejos del frenesí de los juegos AAA actuales. Un 'must' en tu biblioteca. -

Jul 30, 2020This is a solid game, with a very memorable story. I generally don't play games like this, but decided to try it when I didn't have anything else to play, and ended up hooked. Nice graphics, some interesting game mechanics, and interesting locales keeps the game fresh throughout. Highly recommended; this one surprised me!
-
Dec 29, 2022This game is not just about death, it is also a story about life and imagination, walk through the game, and you will find more than you have expected.
-
Nov 27, 2019This game captures the essence of old memories and the haunting past so damn well, it's beautiful and very humane with a completely unpredictable plot. Don't let the slow beginning fool you. Must-play for Firewatch and Life is Strange lovers!

Awards & Rankings

Game World Navigator MagazineJul 5, 2017Leisurely 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]
-
LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jul 5, 2017Beautiful, bittersweet, artistic, frank and engaging game. Just a shame of the scope that does not allow to move from a captivating start into a completely satisfactory final. [Issue#275]
-
CD-ActionJun 30, 2017The game tells intriguing stories and leaves room for interpretation but is short, linear and devoid of true tension. [07/2017, p.60]
