Jan 22, 2023Boring, unskippable cutscenes and dialogue, the most frustrating thing is how slow you move and the waypoint makes you do circles, this should only take a few minutes to beat but with how slow you are it takes a few hours.

Oct 30, 2022A fascinating, eerie game with a clever storyline and believable characters. The graphics are super-realistic and really draw you in, I particularly enjoyed the mysterious observatories and the sense of mystery and thick atmosphere. It's somewhat of the walking sim genre, so might not be for everyone, but I found it gripping and really good fun. I was delighted to manage to complete the game.

Jun 27, 2022One of the weaker walking simulators and it comes off as a bit pretentious.

Wow. At first I abandoned this game (it was little boring for me) but than I try it another time... and it was breath taking experience. -
Jun 5, 2021An enjoyable story made into a wonderful experience by Jessica Curry's soundtrack.

May 20, 2021Amazing buggy mess. If you like games that don't save and constantly crash, this is the game for you!

May 6, 2021Booooring and BAFTA nominee ? Dont need much to get one as it looks thank god those walking simulators games trend is over
-
Mar 6, 2021A cool concept, with great voice acting and a beautifully recreated English village, I wasn't hugely keen on the story however and felt that the game could help you keep track of the various characters more than it does, especially as you are effectively free to roam as you please.

Feb 22, 2021Such a SLOOOOOOW GAME! the character moves waaaay to slow in an attempt to increase game length.... the story is meehhhhh and it's not the super impressive looking game it's hyped up to be

Oct 13, 2020on my original play through i wasn't highly impressed. i really like Dear Esther so i was looking forward to this, it's a bit confusing and the "motion" sensor story elements are tricky to get to register. on my second play i liked it a bit better. was a fairly easy platinum with a guide. the story is fairly interesting, it's a pretty game, and the soundtrack is top notch.

Jul 11, 2020What a journey! If you enjoy story driven games, this one is a hidden gem, I'm happy i didn't listen to most reviews. Give this game a chance!

Jun 29, 2020Story and graphics are beautiful and perfect
But the gameplay is so limited
Other walking simulator games have more things to offer in gameplay -
Jun 21, 2020I'm certainly glad that I played EGTTR and I do think that it tells a decent story. However, it's a fact that the game hides it's own shortness by forcing you to walk at a snail's pace all the time - something that makes the game maddeningly slow and boring. A decent story and sort of cool setting can't make for a complete lack of gameplay.

Sep 11, 2019Intriguing, haunting, and unique. I had chills (in a good way) the whole time playing this. Couldn't believe how outstandingly well put together this was for such a simple concept.

Jul 10, 2019Controles horríveis, muito lento, começa no meio e termina no meio... Nota 5 pela trilha sonora e ambientação.
-
Apr 21, 2019I enjoyed this one. The story and mystery were both interesting, and the music and graphics were beautiful. I just wish you had an option to move a little faster or run, because it can be an ASS of a time to back-track if you've gone the wrong way; the character is very slow.
-
Apr 6, 2019Beautiful landscape to explore, but walking was too slow to want to go back to explore it, I never particularly cared about the inhabitants of the world, and I felt that it overstayed it's welcome. Also the wandering ball of light tended to get lost and I wouldn't know where to go. I imagine I wasted at least an hour of playtime due to that.
All in all I enjoyed the experience though. -

Oct 1, 2017It's a very beautiful walking simulator. Great graphics, weather effects, environment design and atmosphere, if you enjoying slow walking through the beautiful virtual locations you would like this game.

Jun 19, 2017I'm not a huge fan of walking simulators but this one I wanted to give a try. The game has an interesting story, but there isn't really much there except that.

Apr 13, 2017This game is a pretentious walking simulator. It hides behind atmosphere and gorgeous graphics, but, ultimately the experience boils down to a glorified platinum trophy hunt. Slow walking speed is infuriating and the story is, well, predictable from the title. It's not good.

Jan 3, 2017The gorgeous visuals and open-ended story telling deliver a beautiful but flawed experience.
To start, in an attempt to manage pacing, the movement mechanics are overbearingly slow.
And while the characters and voice acting are top notch and the manner through which this tale is told is unique, the story's conclusion feels hollow. -
Dec 31, 2016BEAUTIFUL!
Seriously, I had to stop a couple times and just stare.
The story can tug at the heart strings if you take the time to learn everything.
Yes, a walking simulator, but a great one! -

Dec 17, 2016Thumbs up for the graphics and the music. I liked all the small details in the game and I am sure a lot of time went into making the world believable. However, the story and gameplay was just absolutely boring. It felt like I was forcing myself to finish this game. I cannot give this more than a 5.

Dec 8, 2016Great game, other than it is really slow, you walk slow and the running ability really doesn't do much of anything. The game is pretty linear, and the saving function can be annoying as it didn't save for me and I lost several hours of gameplay. I enjoyed the story, but it's really nothing special to see here.

Nov 27, 2016Basically a walking simulator.......it's clear you should not listen to metacritic what games are, I got it for free on ps4 plus membership and I'm happy I didn't paid for it.
-
Nov 24, 2016This so called "game" MIGHT be mediocre at best if you didnt move 2 mph the entire game. Truly a slow and painful experience. Not sure if it even qualifies as a game.

Nov 17, 2016Una decepción enorme, jugabilidad pésima, interacción mínima, una historia mala y MAL narrada. ¿Porque no se nos permite "correr"? ¿tienen miedo que nos pasemos el juego en 10 minutos? gráficamente no está mal del todo, pero teniendo en cuenta la NULA interacción con el entorno...no sirve de nada.
-
Nov 17, 2016Awful gameplay of all times, , but the story might surprise you if you dig deeper. Fortunately, I just read about it on some blogs, instead of searching in the game. Developers - maybe, next time, better write a book?

Nov 7, 2016From the intriguing story and great visuals, to incredibly well designed characters and voice acting, this is a fantastic journey.
The only reason i'm not giving it a 10/10 is walking/running speed. While it's understandable for this kind of game, as someone who likes exploring places more than once and considering the world is pretty big, pacining could have been a bit faster. -

Nov 3, 2016WALKING simulator with BROKEN "sprint" mechanic,
INTERESTING STORY,
LACKLUSTER ENDING,
Visuals: GREAT
Voice Acting: SUPERB
Music: MEDIOCRE, and eventually annoying
The amount of UNCOLLECTABLE "COLLECTABLES" is outrageous and unworthy of game time -

Apr 11, 2016This game is better called a linear walking similtor. You are forced to follow an absolute linear path where you chase a glowing orb. This orb will stop from time to time to force a plot or mini-plot point. There are occasional phone calls and memories but they are absolutely on the forced path.
-
Mar 25, 2016Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is a fantastic game. Not your typical game but beautiful to look at and a brilliant experience and one that should not be missed. The music is sublime.
-
Mar 20, 2016When looking at the outdoor scenery this walking simulator looks amazing, the really atmospheric British countryside looks very realistic. However the speed of movement (there is no real run feature just a slight jog) and the lack of puzzles makes this a bit of a dull experience. When this is so little to do then I would rather just watch the movie version or read the book...

Feb 19, 2016This game disappointed me, this is because it DOES have a great story BUT your character could not sprint and it was SO easy to get lost, took me ages each time to find a new story thread so i had to walk EXTREMELY slowly through a big map searching for ages i probably would not recommend you buy this like I did to be honest.

Oct 26, 2015A nice idea and I managed to finish it but lets be honest, it is pretty boring.
If you want to do hardly anything and have a great story, watch a movie or read a book. -
Oct 26, 2015This is a very slow and boring game. The graphics really amazing, and the soundtrack is very magical. But those alone cannot make a good game or even a good story.

Sep 21, 2015An enjoyable game in the vein of Gone Home. I am definitely in the mood for a game like this every month. I appreciate the diversity in gaming. This game lets you meander around and tells a story in whatever order you discover it. It was a solid game but not for everyone.

Nov 10, 2015The things I like about Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture are many: the self-paced discovery and chronological asymmetry, the significance of entangling yourself in a visually “complete” environment, the poignance of a well-crafted, well-delivered character exchange. I’m just not sure how often I’d want to repeat the experience.
-
Oct 28, 2015The slow, idyllic exploration, paired by some good narrative make Everybody's gone to the Rapture something that should be played, but only by those with patience. It's a sluggish walk to the end, that pays off, but probably not enough for many players.

CD-ActionOct 17, 2015Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture claims to be something more than a game, but that claim is completely groundless. [10/2015, p.50]
