    Oynadığım ilk quantic dream oyunu. Gerçi buna oyun diyebilir miyiz bilmiyorum oyundan ziyade bir hikayeyi kararlarımızla yönlendirmek üzerine kurulu. Oynanış anlamında bir çekiciliği olmasa bile verdiğin kararların etkisini görmek güzel.

    Jogo incrivel pela historia... um pouco secante no principio... mas depois o vicio pela historia aumenta, so parei no final..

    Giocato e finito nel 2022.
    Bella trama, ottimo colpo di scena finale.
    Sistema di controllo che risulta (ovviamente) datato, e sistema di selezione delle scelte a volte non molto chiara. Doppiaggi a volte così così.
    Premio l'originalità del gioco, e il buon livello di coinvolgimento che garantisce.

    REAL SCORE 8.3. This is a very good game. Is not easy to do this type of games but I think this has achieved the honor to be named one of the best of his own genre.

    Este juego me encantó y a pesar de que hoy en día sus carencias se notan más, no deja de ser un juego con una historia atrapante y buenos personajes en realidad me encantó pero algunos huecos de guión pudieron ser mejorados

    História e gráficos incríveis, apenas peca em não possuir dublagem em PT-BR, mas os personagens e acontecimentos valem muito a pena.

    There's some awkward dialogue here and there. However, the overall experience is fantastic.

    An Quantic Dream Spielen scheiden sich die Geister. Kritisieren manche solcherlei "Drama Adventures" als zu wenig interaktiv, um es wirklich Spiel nennen zu können, rühmen andere wiederum deren erzählerische Qualitäten, die überragende Präsentation und atmosphärische Dichte, die meist das Niveau von Kinoproduktionen erreicht.

    Generell ist es bei solchen Spielen so, dass sich die    An Quantic Dream Spielen scheiden sich die Geister. Kritisieren manche solcherlei "Drama Adventures" als zu wenig interaktiv, um es wirklich Spiel nennen zu können, rühmen andere wiederum deren erzählerische Qualitäten, die überragende Präsentation und atmosphärische Dichte, die meist das Niveau von Kinoproduktionen erreicht.

    Generell ist es bei solchen Spielen so, dass sich die Gameplayelemente auf ein Untersuchen der Umgebung, eine Dialogmechanik und im Falle von Quantic Dream Titeln, das Absolvieren von Quick Time Events beschränken. Das mag auf manche eher wie ein interaktiver Film wirken, der besondere Clou ist jedoch, dass die erzählten Geschichten eben in der Regel nicht linear verlaufen, sondern dass der Spieler Einfluss auf diese nimmt. Das mag sich am Verhalten in Dialogen aufhängen. Das mag daran liegen, wie viele Informationen wir in der Umgebung gesammelt haben. Oder es ist abhängig davon, ob wir Quick Time Events bestehen konnten oder eben auch nicht. Resultat ist, dass wir einen individuellen Weg in der Geschichte gehen werden. Und egal wie wir uns nun verhalten haben, wir werden in einem Durchlauf nie alle Szenen und Möglichkeiten, die das Spiel uns bietet, sehen können. Hierin liegt dann auch der Wiederspielwert solcher Titel verborgen. Vielleicht sehen wir bei einem zweiten Durchlauf völlig andere Szenen, weil wir uns anders entschieden haben, oder eine Information finden konnten, die uns beim ersten Durchlauf noch fehlte.

    Heavy Rain erzählt seine Geschichte aus der Perspektive von vier unterschiedlichen Protagonisten, die wir alle zeitweise steuern können. So ist Heavy Rain eine Detektivgeschichte, ein Kriminalthriller und ein persönliches Psychodrama in einem. Erzählerisch bewegt sich Quantic Dream daher auf einem, nicht nur für Videospiele, extrem hohen Niveau und transportiert eine Atmosphäre, die an manche Hitchcock oder auch David Fincher Filme erinnert. Dass die Steuerung nicht mehr zeitgemäß ist und es vor allem zu Beginn eher langweilige, einführende Passagen gibt, davon sollte man sich nicht abschrecken lassen. Mit Heavy Rain spielt man letztlich eine unglaublich dichte und tief gehende Geschichte, die ihren besonderen Reiz darin findet, dass sie sich letztlich so erzählt, wie wir sie auch spielen. Hinsichtlich Präsentation, grafischer Qualität und Regie setzen Quantic Dream Spiele seit jeher Maßstäbe. Auch das trägt sicherlich dazu bei, dass die Erfahrungen, die wir in Heavy Rain machen, uns tatsächlich auch sehr nahe gehen können. Quantic Dream Spiele sind immer etwas besonderes, etwas, das einen als Spieler wirklich bewegen kann. Statt Netflix anzuwerfen, kann man Netflix auch einfach einmal spielen. Es lohnt sich ungemein.    … Expand

    The story of this game is one of the best in video games. The characters are all great and the scenarios the player is placed in are all superb. The choices you make in this game have very big consequences which adds to the tension of the game. The controls are the main flaw as sometimes they are weirdly angled.

    Game like a movie. I'm playing with pleasure. Every character is special and charism. Quantic dreams is a masters of yourself deal. Will be perfect to see second part...

    This game was a revelation for me at the time.

    I was just starting to play on consoles then, and I could not imagine that such sensations could be from the game.

    I directly felt in the body of the protagonist and experienced all the events with him. Amazing gameplay and amazing story, great cinematography in its time.

    This game is definitely a masterpiece.

    Si juegas este juego sabiendo a lo que vas, es absolutamente disfrutable. Obviamente, la narrativa tiene mucho peso, pero está tan bien desarrollada que hace que el juego sea realmente divertido. No por sus mecánicas de quicktime events, sino por lo entretenida que es su trama y cómo podemos influir en ella con distintas acciones y decisiones. Duración aproximada: 10 horas

    Dark crime driven story with plot twists emotional moments and nice interactive gameplay, it was maybe the first time I see such an interactive game turns to be a triple A especially the graphics was great as a 2010 PS3 game

    After some time, finally a game that thrilled me with its story. The story is completely complex and will make you think about all your decisions. I stopped the game a few times just to think hard about my decision.

    As for the characters, they are also well written, none of the characters was such that it would bother me with the presence alone.

    Gameplay was done in such a way that it more resembled an interactive movie than a game. Although I must say that in Scott's part, opening the fridge was sometimes a daunting task.

    I also appreciate the "Move" version of the game. Unfortunately, I do not have the necessary equipment to try this mode.

    I also like that the game has a very large number of endings to the story.

    I can only recommend this game and I am glad that I found a few hours of free time to humble it. I rate the number 9/10.    … Expand

    It is one of the best games you can experience in your life. The best example of this genre is definitely Heavy Rain. If you haven't played yet, think of Detroit as less combat and more emotional. So Detroit: Become Human of those times.

    Like watching a good detective drama. But you're controlling it.

    The Good: - Very interesting narrative. Hooks you in. Like a good mystery detective show. - Voice acting is good - many of your decisions will impact the outcome. Not only the final outcome, but outcomes throughout your play. - The way the game does the dialogue is very good. You can always hear what the    Like watching a good detective drama.

    The Good:

    - Very interesting narrative. Hooks you in. Like a good mystery detective show.

    - Voice acting is good

    - many of your decisions will impact the outcome. Not only the final outcome, but outcomes throughout your play.

    - The way the game does the dialogue is very good. You can always hear what the characters are thinking. Choices are made in real time, so you can't take too long to make a decision, making it feel real.

    - Quite a variety of settings

    - the plot surprised me. Very good twist.

    - Good build up of the characters. Made me quite invested in each.

    - QTE action sequences were done well. Can get exciting.

    --------------------

    The Bad:

    - Some of the QTE were awkward

    - The camera angles can screw with your movement sometimes.

    - Some of the dialogue options are too ambiguous and may not be what you intend the character to say

    - holding R2 to simply walk becomes annoying.

    - QTEs for menial tasks were unnecessary. It simply caused confusion, and unnatural movement. I just want to get in my car and drive away. Not press rotate my joystick to open the door, press a button to put on my seat belt, rotate my joystick to release the handbrake, then roll my joystick again to start the engine. This was ONE menial thing. There are many more.    … Expand

    David Cage knocked it out the park with this choice based thriller. the story continues no matter what? "dont **** this up" type of chills go down my spine. so many different outcomes and its totally up to you thats where the chills come from. great story besides the JAAASON section at the damn mall. play this game.

Even after years I remember the story, charterers, plot twists and moral dilemmas. Only a few games got immersive like this. Heavy Rain is best described as action adventure in a murder mystery about the origami killer. You play as Ethan Mars, Madison Page, Norman Jayden and Scott Shelby. Each character has their own motivations, agendas and developments. I will not go into details because spoilers would be a crime. However the story is excellent with branching parts and multiple endings. It depends on you if you are successful, which characters survive or are present at the climax if you even get there. Like I said your success is not granted and there are sad endings. Then there are the moral dilemmas. A fitting question would be “How far would you go to save the ones you love?” Again be prepared for many hard decisions. The plot unfolds really great and I think it is really good with an amazing twist that makes totally sense but will hit you like a truck. There are also some good additional twists and themes. Overall the final question for you is if you like this kind of a more interactive movie like game and can endure the slow start. If the answer is yes than this is a must play. If not than stay away from it. The split reactions for this are valid. It can be the best game for you or a waste of money and time. Try it if you can.… Expand

    Put gaming conventions aside, go in with no expectations other than this is something new and massively good-looking, and you'll be rewarded with a unique experience that lurches between genius and madness, manages to be genuinely emotional, and that you'll be bursting to talk about with your friends.

    For many people Heavy Rain won’t be more than a progression of quick-time-events, but for me this game has everything a great game needs. The thrilling story, the beautiful graphics and the innovative controls will let you play on and on, till you just can’t look any longer into your TV.
