    It's a good interactive film which choosing the wrong decisions consequence the characters. The graphics and the narrative are the best points meanwhile the music is not memorable. The most I like it is the end and the way of the characters change their mentality.
    I recommend to everybody but I would say that the version of Ps4 (remastered) is exactly the same as the Ps3 game.

    Heavy Rain is one of those games that was simply ahead of its time and wasn't fully appreciated by many people.
    I'm into this story-based game and Heavy Rain delivers big time. An awesome psychological thriller to say the least.

    Although the controls are not very good, the story is very good and has multiple different endings and multiple characters. Your characters can die or survive according to your choices, it depends on your decisions and instant actions.

    Heavy Rain: PS4

    Tras jugar a "Detroit Become Human" he decidido jugar a este juego de la misma empresa, Quantic Dream. Me ha gustado igual o incluso mas que Detroit lo que pasa que yo me caracterizo por un sistema de puntuación muy alto, con lo cual hay veces que no puedo dar mas puntuación, pero creo que ambos juegos se merecen un 10, son juegos muy innovadores.

    Las decisiones que tomas son muy importables porque pueden llevar a la muerte de tus personajes, el juego no tiene un único final.

    Teniendo en cuenta el año de lanzamiento del titulo tiene unos gráficos muy buenos para la época.

    La jugabilidad, es muy buena pero si que es verdad que hay veces que no detecta correctamente el movimiento del mando y da errores o como pulsar el R2 para poder andar, puede llegar a ser molesto pero te acabas acostumbrando...

    En cuanto a la historia me ha parecido impresionante, impresionante como se ha ido desarrollando y al acabar el videojuego me he quedado boquiabierto por el final del mismo. Todos los personajes aportan algo a la historia sean jugables o no (especialmente los jugables).

    Yo recomiendo que juguéis este juego, sobre todo a las personas que le encantan los juegos interactivos que este titulo no os va a decepcionar.

    Der perfekte Thriller mit vielen Plottwists und schwierigen Entscheidungen, die durch die Spielenden zu lösen sind. Packend und moralisch aufgeladen zugleich. Die PS4 Version wirkt technisch jedoch etwas veraltet (9/10).

    But the main thing about this game is story. I had like three 100% sure suspects while playing. -2 points for FBI agent line, I couldn't make it because of the gas station tickets I missed, they weren't glowing while wearing those tech glasses in club's office.

    I heard about Heavy Rain on PS3 when I was a kid. I knew I was good at that time. But after beating this game, I was amazed by how good this game is. Every second of it is dramatic and I couldn’t put the controller down. I know the control is clunky. But still, it’s one of the best games I have ever played.

    Heavy rain is a great narration based game. It comes from the same studio as Detroit Become Human which aces narration driven gaming. There are lots of good things about Heavy rain and a couple of things that aren't great.

    The pros include the amazing music that is very soothing to listen to. Great narration based story that unfolds slowly, character emotions that are portrayed well.

    The pros include the amazing music that is very soothing to listen to. Great narration based story that unfolds slowly, character emotions that are portrayed well. The use of AR to read the files was an interesting attempt in the game.

    Unfortunately, Heavy rain leaves a couple of questions unanswered like how the narrator became so poor after being shown as coming from an affluent family initially, the plot holes that the other comments would have already covered also aren't explained.

    Overall, Despite it's flaws, Heavy Rain is a great game with flaws and bad controls. Definitely not a 10/10 but deserves a good rating for a great take on narration based gaming and the music.

    Heavy Rain è il miglior gioco del genere Film interattivo che abbia mai giocato. Per quanto il gioco sia un giallo con alcuni plot hole dati da dei tagli fatti al progetto, trovo che la storia funzioni comunque bene e che abbia una buona dose di finali alternativi che possono punire chi gioca male, come possono premiare chi sia stato più attento con le proprie azioni. è l'unico gioco diHeavy Rain è il miglior gioco del genere Film interattivo che abbia mai giocato.

    This game is pretty good. It's a really good crime thriller and it has a interesting story. You play as four characters, leading up to the end. Each character can die if you mess up too much, or if you mess up too much you get extra chapters following up on what happened. Some of the achievements are a little bit weird so be cautious of that.

    Playing Heavy Rain today is an interesting experience. While the story has plot holes it keeps you on edge and the possibility of characters dieing and different endings created a whole new genre in 2010. 10 years later the clunky controls and robotic acting are frustrating (especially the motion controls).

    P.S. Recomend to try this one first and just after - Detroit. I did a mistake and played Heavy Rain first, so my impression of the game turned out blurry.

    I'm glad I went back and gave this a try after getting it for Free on PS+. The story and characters were engaging and kept me wanting to come back despite the horrible controls. Thankfully - Heavy Rain doesnt rely on controls too much outside of QTEs or it would have been a deal breaker. Enjoyable from start to finish - great twist ending. Would recommend to anyone for a change of pace.

    As far as Heavy Rain goes for me in way of storytelling, it hasn't been topped since.

It's a gritty detective thriller as you play several characters at once who intertwine with the goal of finding the Origami killer. The choices system is different from other games, it poses drastic moral reactions and consequences which could actually end up in a character dying outright. They don't get revived either which causes your ending to change subsequently. The script is well done and as the story gets darker and darker you wonder if you're ever going to see the ending, or one of the 24 possible ones! This proves plenty of room for replay value which is unusual for narrative games. My only critiscism of a game like this is that the use of the motion sensor of the pad is sometimes utterly tedious, like changing a baby's nappy, or cleaning your characters teeth, or pushing a kid on a swing. It's showing off the possibilities but becomes boring and pointless to the story. Aside from this, this game is something of a masterpiece which shouldn't ever be drowned out by sequels. Expand

    Es una película interactiva que trata de un asesino en serie. Los controles son algo más toscos que los de los últimos títulos similares pero no es pesado de jugar. Los gráficos están algo envejecidos pero las expresiones faciales son muy realistas incluso a día de hoy. La historia es interesante, te engancha y siempre quieres saber que es lo que va a ocurrir a continuación que nunca suele ser demasiado obvio. Bastante recomendado si te gusta el género.

And this game doesn't have as nasty moments as in Until Dawn (only a couple or so). The story and the soundtrack are great. Plus, it has a few details that you don't normally find in other games. If you are thinking to play Beyond or this game I would recommend to play this game before and if you don't like it don't even try Beyond, which for me is very good as well, but it's way more relax than this one. I don't know I just feel lucky to had the oportunity to play this game in my ps4. I don't understand some low rates unless they're people who only play normal action games. Expand

    When I first got this time for free on Playstation Plus, I was sick in bed.
    I launched the game, and I saw this ugly a$$ dude right in front of my screen. His children, oh boy, they were even uglier.

    I started wondering whether I really wanted to play this or if I was going to puke if I had.
    I decided to give it a chance, and that's when it kinda clicked: the characters were not ugly on purpose.
    This game was aiming to realism in a very particular way. The characters are normal people, so to speak.
    The protagonist, the antagonist, everything about this game felt real, even with the bugs.
    The game was trying to be a movie with actors.
    I'm not going to criticize this genre of games, because even though I very much prefer games with a good gameplay and more immersion, I still enjoyed the **** out of the story of Heavy Rain.
    If you love mysteries, just give David Cage a damn chance; this game will not leave you disappointed if you love movies and videogames, especially so if you're looking for a serious, dramatic, and emotional story.

    не смотря на квиктаймовый геймплей, игра не даст заснуть с геймпадом в руках - местами сильно напрягает и нагоняет саспенса. В общем кто еще не играл, срочно играть.

    I was looking for a game that would provide me the experience of a movie, but, through the interactivity of game mechanics, provide immersion that no movie could ever provide.

    What I got was so much more - I did not just experience the movie, I lived the movie.
    Apart from fulfilling the typical requirements for such a feat (good acting, atmosphere, effects, graphics, etc), the powerful sense of consequences to each and every action I performed was like nothing I had ever experienced before. I think that being forearmed with the knowledge that four characters are playable, but can die at any moment as a direct result of my actions was key.
    You see, I read the various items of information provided by the game before playing.

    I am blown away at how this game manages to achieve such an experience without VR, but through very clever use of the controller.
    The reactive threshold, whereby certain buttons must be pressed within a certain time limit, felt just right, and I liked how failing did not necessarily result in immediate death, but would draw out a different cut scene and give me a stronger sense of deaths imminence if I continued to mess up.

    I am a very experienced gamer (35 years old now), having played games from way back like Space Invaders on the Amstrad through to games on consoles like Sonic on the Sega Master System, through to games like Affected on the Oculus Rift.
    Never before have I fought enemies like my very life was on the line.
    Never before have I felt such a sense of relief when finally overpowering an enemy.
    Never before have I uttered audible sounds/expletives, even though no-one else is with me.
    Never before have I experienced a character death and accepted it as part of the story line without reloading.
    Never before have I looked at the concept art after completing the game (unlocked during playing) and felt like it was stimulating memories of experiences in my own life.

    You have to play this game with the right expectations - it is not a gun-toting, car drifting, all action genre, yet the emotions it invokes far surpasses those invoked from such genres.
    Quite frankly, this game is a work of art and the people involved in making it should be very proud of its accomplishment.

While certain things involving the game's age and playability are taken into account here, a lot of this rating is based largely around the port itself.*
    "Heavy Rain" was a game that I felt I was in the minority with when I gave the original PlayStation 3 game a 10 out of 10. Yes, I acknowledge that there were some plot-holes here, but I still found the story and characters captivating enough that I could forgive those, especially because those holes actually opened up for discussions and questions long after I completed the game. It was a game that kept me coming back for several playthroughs, and it hooked me like few others have. While I wasn't initially planning on getting the PlayStation 4 port of it, it was part of the Digital Deluxe Edition of "Detroit: Become Human" (which, yes, I will play and review as soon as possible), which was only $10 more than the standard edition, so I got to replay "Heavy Rain," and I was impressed that it held up so well.
    "Heavy Rain" remains a game that is very enjoyable, and even if a lot of the game is scripted cinematics and quick-time events, it still remains very exciting and tensing. Once again, even though the story has some holes, the characters and the writing are still captivating and rich (even if some of the performances are kind of cheesy by today's standards), and I feel like there's a certain novelty to the game now. Given that it was released in early 2010, right when the new wave of story-driven, "realistically-designed" games were starting to pop off, it's cool to see one of the games that helped start it off (obviously, before the days of "The Walking Dead"). And for the most part, the visuals still remain quite strong today, as the 1080p facelift brings out the overall beauty of the game.
    It's easy for me to forgive the occasionally off-putting model or very minor frame-dipping in this one because they don't really impact the enjoyment of the game, but there's one thing I can't really forgive: even though "Beyond: Two Souls" (Quantic Dream's next game) received a PlayStation 4 port with plenty of new stuff (like the ability to play the game in chronological order), I was disappointed that "Heavy Rain" on PlayStation 4 offers nothing new other than the satisfaction of getting to re-experience the game. I would've liked to see this version of the game come with some playable versions of some of the things that were left on the cutting room floor (such as Ethan's blackouts) in something of a "Director's Cut" version, or it could've featured some of the cut DLC episodes that were supposed to release after "The Taxidermist." Speaking of that DLC, I also would've liked it if the game actually came with "The Taxidermist" DLC, much like how "Beyond: Two Souls" came with the "Enhanced Experiments" DLC. The lack of new features, or even added DLC, makes it seem like there was more care put into RELEASING the port, and not ENHANCING the port outside of the 1080p visuals.
    Still, while the lack of new features is disappointing, "Heavy Rain" remains what I like to call a "flawed masterpiece," and it's a game that I highly suggest playing. Obviously, if you own it on PS3 already, there's not much of a point in getting this version, but if you haven't gotten to experience "Heavy Rain" yet, give it a shot now that it's on the PlayStation 4!

    It doesn’t offer anything new for anyone who already played the original. On the other hand, the graphics are significantly overhauled, making this remastered version a safe choice for anyone who didn’t had the chance to experience this excellent interactive drama.
