    Heavy Rain is very much the kind of game I like to play; it’s smart, interesting, different and highly focused. Cage might be a one-of-a-kind game director and thinker, and I do wish more developers paid attention to how he approaches his storytelling.

    Six years after its original release on PlayStation 3, Heavy Rain is still a game that every narrative-driven videogames fan should play.

    If you like this kind of adventures, Heavy Rain is one of the best. There's no evolution if you've played it before, but it's probably aimed at those who didn't own at PS3.

    A few years later, Heavy Rain has aged well in some aspects, and worst in others, but it's still one of the best cinematic experiences you can live on a home console.

    Heavy Rain is an absolute classic of its unique genre of videogames. The story of the origami killer can still charm with its blend of mystery and noir ingredients and the remastered graphics are a plus to enjoy it. Unfortunately, the gameplay mechanics feel a little old, but this alone doesn't really kill the experience as a whole.

    Although its clunky controls and inconsistent voice acting dates Heavy Rain, it still remains enjoyable (if mad) B-grade sholock. A stunning visual upgrade on the PlayStation 4 makes this the version to grab if you’re new to developer Quantic Dream’s games, and existing fans should find enjoyment in a richer aesthetic this time around.

    This remains a ground-breaking game, and it's still possible to appreciate the areas where it innovated, but time has not been kind to the title's damp performances and dismal writing.

It´s a telltale game on speed. Here there are true consequences. Most of the playable characters can actually die. Permanently. The decisions the player makes have a significant impact on the way the story unfolds. This can result in drastically different story outcomes. It is a truly fascinating approach to the medium of video games. You should really give it a try.… Expand
