    Easily one of the best games I've ever played. A game you can't stop playing. Rarely I remember caring so much for the characters. A must-have. A masterpiece!

    At the time of release on PS3 it was incredible. The game has aged since then but it's one of those genre setter that breaks away from typical mold.

    De los mejores juegos que existen hoy en el mercado, sublime de principio a fin. Aunque ojo, si tienes la versión de Ps3, no vale la pena comprar esta versión, pero si ya no posees la Play 3 o nunca has jugado a este título, es una compra 100% recomendad!

    I understand that not everybody enjoys this genre of gaming but what I don't understand is why those that don't feel the need to tell everybody about it. I don't like seafood, but you won't see me spewing vitriol in reviews for seafood restaurants because that would be pointless. I simply don't go to those restaurants. If you don't like these games, don't buy/play them, nobody's forcing you to.

    This is a great game. Of course it's not for everybody but I enjoyed it a lot. It has really good graphics for a ps3 game. I beat it in about 10 hours in middle difficulty and I only lost one person.

This game reminds me a bit Until Dawn cause you can lose people although in Until Dawn it's much difficult to keep all of them alive. 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

    Never been a fan of narrative based games but Heavy Rain has truly changed my point of view. A gripping story with unexpected twists that keep you wondering how far you would go to save the ones you love till the end. The gameplay is not really snappy all the time but overall if you didnt get to play it on ps3 yet this is a must play. Im truly happy that I got to play the game. Get it!.

    Heavy Rain at one time was the main reason for me to buy a PS3. For 2010, when interactive film games were still scarce, Heavy Rain looked like something new and fresh.

Heavy Rain is a prime example of video games being part of the arts. Expand

    Not having the chance to try this game on previous gen, I regret the time I've lost without having played this Masterpiece. This is what every single player game should deliver. Addictive plot, freedom of choices and realistic acting. 10/10

    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.

    I really liked that i could choose the paths of these nice characters, my favourite was Madison Page she was clever, kind and ambitious .I loved the story because it was very versatile and immersing.The sound tracks were amazing.I have achieved the platinum trophy in it as well.

На протяжении всей игры вас держат в напряжении и ставят перед различным выбором, который в дальнейшем может кардинально перевернуть всю игру. Больше всего понравилась история Нормана Джейдена. Каждую его миссию проходила с огромным удовольствием. Но и другие персонажи нисколько не уступают и в сравнении, опять же, с Детройтом, видно, что над каждым героем хорошенько поработали.
    Пожалуй единственная игра с довольно легкой платиной, которую не устанешь выбивать.

    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.

    The game is something unusual and unconventional compare to all the games out there. The story is remarkable and irrespective of the fact that it might not involve "fighting" and "killing" it is a game that you should not miss. The story will make you cry, to say the least.

    As remasters go, it's not a total washout - but it's not the stunning revamp it could have been. As a PS3 classic now available on PS4, however? Essential. [May 2016, p.87]

    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.
