    Excellent 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.

    Good :

    - interesting story
    - voice acting

    Bad :

    - gameplay too poor
    - graphics : low resolution textures
    - bad optimization : the game requires a high-end graphic card to play in 4K at 60 fps while graphics are not very good

    It usually responds well, but there are moments when it doesn't.

    *INNOVATION*: What Remains of Edith Finch is one of the heavyweights of the Walking Simulator, presenting a revolutionary work that takes the genre to new levels. Thank you very much, Giant Sparrow.    … Expand

    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.

    Let me get that out of the way straight off the bat. You should play this game. I only gave it a score of 7/10, and I will explain why below, but do not take this to mean I don't think this game is worth experiencing.

    "What Remains of Edith Finch" is one of the best arguments for the place that so-called "Walking Simulators" have at the table of gaming. It is a compelling narrative, told by an urgent speaker who is compelling and authentic. At its heart, What Remains of Edith Finch is eulogy. It doesn't try to tell its story with words, because you know the person about whom it speaks. It doesn't show you. Instead, it reminds you of what you already know, and it allows your emotions to make the connections from its few words.

    "Something about the story was familiar", Edith says at one point in her story. And in that quote, you have an excellent summary of the game itself. Throughout this story you are left with emotional stirrings. Evocative, and emotive, rather than logical. You often know what is coming, and more importantly, you often know what is being felt. Whether it's dragging your palm along the air streaming out the passenger side window, or kicking your legs to pump higher and higher, this game is experiental. You live it, and you live it through your own snippets of memory. We have all lived these lives, we have all known these stories, we have all loved this person, and as any good eulogy does, the words and snippets of What Remains draws these memories out of you.

    It's a touching tale, and one you will remember. You should play this game. And luckily, it should be easy to do. Why you ask? Because despite the asking price, it takes about 120 minutes to 100%. And it isn't a perfect experience.

    There are snags. There are moments where you can't tell how to continue the tale and have to backtrack and retrace. There are other times where you backtrack and retrace, and the game lets you do so, only to find that you shouldn't have. These SNAFUs have become expected with walking simulators, but they're frustrating and they take away from the experience. The graphics are suitable, pretty, but not standout. The score is likewise suitable but never particularly compelling. Except maybe with the frog. The lack of a 'run' button is intentional, but cumbersome. It makes areas that were already bordering on frustrating moreso, when they are being experienced. The lack of a 'display clues' button is also intentional and just as cumbersome for all the same reasons. This is not a game that should attempt to 'hide achievements'. It wants you to get the whole story, and it wants you to get the whole story step by step, in an organized manner rather than disjointed and backtracked. Refusal to aide its own design in this regard, perhaps as some defense against the tired 'Walking simulators aren't games' blathering of the unwashed heathens, does the team at Annapurna no favors.

    This is a good game. Some will even consider it a great game. But it's a 2 hour experience that costs as much as $40. If you get this game free, you're right to say it was great. If you bought it for $40 or even $20, you may very well feel far less pleased with it. I think you should play it, but I think you need to understand how brief the play is. And it doesn't benefit from any replaying. I am glad I played this game. I enjoyed it. I would recommend it to anybody. But I don't think it's worth more than about $10 for most people, and it usually goes for a lot more than that.    … Expand

    The game is simply beautiful. "What remains of Edith Finch" shows us that video games truly are an art. It's hard to tell something about it without spoiling anything, so just trust me and play it. Game isn't long and isn't expensive so it's worth to try. That kind of storytelling I have never seen in any other game. Visuals are also great and soundtrack has a right tone. I totally recommend it.

    Its not a bad game. It is focus in the story of this family and the atmosphere of the house, This atmosphere is very important in a walking simulator. So, showing a house with a collection of repeated books without a justification in the history of the family, is ridiculous and breaks the good atmosphere that the game could at first offer.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    A beautifully made walking simulator. Audio visually it's great and has some gameplay variety. The story is emotional but a bit absurd and somehow lacks deepness and development.

    Short, but amazing. Excellent story-telling that keeps you engaged for the entire three hours of gameplay. Definitely a game to try out regardless of what you like to play.

    What 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.

    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.

    Oyun hikayesiyle çok övülüyordu. İnternetten araştırdığımda 2 saat uzunluğunda olduğunu gördüm ve Hades gibi uzun ve zorlayıcı bir oyunun üstüne rahatlatıcı olacağını düşündüm. İlk dakikalarında bana Gone Home'u hatırlattı ve onun gibi hiçbir yere bağlanmaycak ve aynı odaları dönüp durduğumuz tatsız tuzsuz bir oynanış sunacak diye korktum. Ama yanılmışım.

    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.
    Çok az bütçeyle ve küçük bir ekiple indie yapımların ne derece yaratıcı ve etkileyici olabileceğine çok güzel bir örnek.    … Expand

    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

    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]
