    Kind of boring, didn’t understand the story really, the scene where you choose between making perfume or checking on the other two people I was met with a screen that had placeholder text. I’m not kidding, it just said “Placeholder” on the screen. What?

Из "внешних" компонентов игры я могу отметить шикарную операторскую съёмку, отличную актерскую игру, а ещё Холли (Эрика) ну просто милашка. Развитие сюжета построено максимально противоположно канону жанра, т.е. действия в начале и середине игры почти ни на что не влияют, а концовки дают очень мало информации, поэтому чтобы разобраться, игру приходится перепроходить несколько раз. Я снизил балл из-за не самого удобного управления и нестандартной системы выбора сюжетных линий.… Expand

    Muy bueno! Estando gratis en PS Plus decidí darle una oportunidad y la verdad es que me sorprendió gratamente. En mi opinión, Holly Earl (Erica) y su gran actuación es lo mejor del juego y la temática es bastante interesante y poco vista... altamente recomendable.

    As someone who got the platinum trophy Let me provide my honest review.
    The Good:
    The characters are believable, specially the main cast, impeccable acting. The story progresses fast and buildups quite nicely for the climax. It really made me care for the characters. The Bad: The story is short and leaves you with a taste for more. I would have loved if the endings were a bit longer    As someone who got the platinum trophy Let me provide my honest review.

    I would have loved if the endings were a bit longer with more explanation.
    The controls are a nightmare. I get the idea of using the touch-pad of the PS control, but sometimes spending 30-35 seconds trying to open up a box is just frustrating.

    To sum up, the game accomplishes its objective, its entertaining and engaging. It's a nice and fun game that provides a different taste in a world where interactive games are usually look down and trash talked by GTA, Fortine and COD players.    … Expand

    I've only played through once and have a long way to go for the platinum, but here's why I rated it 8.

    Bad news first- I'm somewhat of an achievement whore, and the wonky touchscreen controls detracted from the experience.

I had to restart 5 times on the first play through to accurately swipe the right direction at the right time to reach the desired end. In addition, some achievements require swipe motions that aren't hinted by visual cues, which gets frustrating at times.

    Good news- The immersion. The graphics are second-to-none compared to any game I've played in this console generation. The main character is so real, so loveable, and incredibly relatable. The story is believable, the voice acting is surreal, and all characters' body language is worthy of Hollywood acclaim. All spring characters are believable and add so much to the overall story.

    I only take off one point for the touchscreen control issue, but an otherwise perfect game. Thank you for the experience, Sony!    … Expand

    This was something else...
    A true hit and miss in my book. By trying to be a movie and a game Erica misses both marks.

    The story is predictable and boring while the gameplay is almost non-existent. After playing through it a couple of times to get the platinum I realised that most of the so called "choices" you make, makes no difference. The only thing that makes this "movie" unique from traditional cinema is makes you do something so trivial as wiping of a mirror when most of the things you are tasked with doing makes zero impact in the story.

    And the controls… What a mess, using the touchpad on the controller as your only input is nothing but a pain in the ass. When choosing between four different options, why not use one of the four face buttons? I get the ”immersion” when doing it on some thing that’s a swiping motion in real life like dusting of a desk or clearing the fog of a window. But for everything else I would have preferred the face-buttons on the controller.

    Not worth any money, If you got it with PS+ I would still be hesitant to even recommend anyone to download this to their PS4.
    A waste of time and money. Avoid.    … Expand

    Intriguing FMV adventure with a pretty unique touch-centered control scheme. If you’re a fan of narrative-driven “choose your own adventure” type of games. For what it’s worth, Erica is not a bad option.
    The game would be more replayable with a proper chapter select though.

    Great acting and the story was interesting. Although the story is quite short and the pacing is off towards the end, it was still a fun experience for me. I enjoy these type of decision based games and gotta say it was worth it for the price I paid (a few bucks on a ps plus deal!). So if playing a game that feels like a movie is a dealbreaker for you, this is not for you Imo.

    I love the mix of video and game play. It's like ur making your own movie. Plus it has plenty of interaction times, to keep you immersed in what's going on. Its Not just react or interact once every 20 or 30 minutes.

    The game is incredibly corny. The writing is very mixed and performances are not very good. The overall mystery of the game is interesting and in my playthrough choices did have consequences. The controls are also extremely bad in this game like wonky N64 controls but way worse.

    The production values place Erica in good company as an FMV psychological thriller, but with a near total absence of gameplay and a plot that struggles to consistently thrill, what’s left is an underwhelming choose-your-own-adventure tale that leaves a poor lingering impression.

    Erica is a weird mixture of inconsistent but mostly quality writing, with astounding visuals and soundtrack. It poses as a truly interesting experience and even though with its flaws it is a step in the right direction for FMV games.
