    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

    I'm so sorry Lewis... I don't really like walking games, but I empathized with the characters in this game. The atmosphere was also nice.

    It was engaging, but kinda depressing, without really getting something out of it at the end.

    I loved the game, I expected it would be a misterious/puzzle/horror game, but the story surprised me. Beautiful game.

    This 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.

    É 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.

    It's an experience rather than a game. The charming atmosphere and the interesting story combined is what this game is.

    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.

    What Remains of Edith Finch is a collection of individual stories beautifully presented and artfully woven into an intriguing and memorable larger narrative.

    Игра очень сильно напоминает The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Это по сути продолжение, но с новой историей. К сожалению, не мой жанр, оценить не могу.

    This is not really a game but more of a 2-3 hour movie. This story is great, I love being able to interact with the story instead of just plainly watching it. I will say no more, this game is best experienced with no prior knowledge.

    Great soundtrack, brilliant atmosphere and very immersive. Though the presentation of the story was immaculate, the story itself left more to be desired. It was pretty short (only 2 hours) and lacked depth. We couldn't spend long enough with any of the characters to care for them and the game ended without really saying anything meaningful.

    Beautiful silent walk through magical house that now only memories inhabit.
    Took me away for a while.

    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.

    It promises a good 2 hours. It's just that the story didn't impress me like everyone else. But that doesn't change the fact that you should try.

    Its a very different game than what I play but it was a good game. The game is very short, about 2 hrs long. It is basically a walking simulator where the character Edith tells and explores her old weird house. You find stuff around the house that lets you see what became of your huge family. Some stories are amazing with their own mini-games while others totally feel like the devs wereIts a very different game than what I play but it was a good game.

    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]

    Beautiful, 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]

    The game tells intriguing stories and leaves room for interpretation but is short, linear and devoid of true tension. [07/2017, p.60]
