    RiME is a great game, but it still feels like something is holding it back. The first few hours are monumentally done and really get you excited for what the rest of it has in store, but the second half leaves a lot to be desired.

    A beautiful game with emotional storytelling. The puzzles are not very hard but they keep you occupied as you explore one of the most stunning games released to date, the sound track is spot on keeping you very engaged and I found myself getting emotionally attached to the characters even though no words are spoken throughout the whole play through.

    Beautiful aesthetics and gorgeous soundtrack; the puzzles are not as hard as i would have hope, but they are challenging enough. There are some minor drops on performance on the PC version (framerate drops to 40fps, im using a gtx1060 for 1080p).

It can be confusing at times knowing where to go since its difficult to maintain an overall sense of direction, but these are minor gripes. The ending made it all worth it. It's definitely similar to Ico/Journey/Abzu titles, but I don't think its a "knockoff" like some people say. The gameplay actually has a lot more depth to it than some of those games. If you liked those I'm guessing you'll love this one too.… Expand

    Rime really surprised me. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. The game certainly takes inspiration from many others, but what it takes it executes really well. While the gameplay is relatively simplistic, the different stages of the game bring in enough variety to stop it becoming mundane. The wonderful art design, lovely soundtrack, relaxed pace and poignant story make Rime a must-play.

As the game makes progression, the game becomes more and more unique and it becomes clear that the developer(s) had his own idea's and had made it visual in a stunning game.

    Yes, stunning. The visuals are unique and perfect. The music supports the game in an awesome way.

    The story is shortly said the steps you might take after a major loss in life of another person. That's deep and that's how it feels mainly towards the end. You might end up crying. I don't want to spoil anything, it's up to you to discover the story and how it is visualised.

    I have been able to play the game by downloading it with PS+. Despite the awesome experience, I don't think it's worth 35€/50€. (current price in my country Belgium for PS4/Switch). Without frame-drops I believe this game is worth 19,99€, 29,99€ tops. With these frame-drops no more than 14,99€.

    If you rate this game, consider that this was made by only 18 people in a rather young studio with a small budget.    … Expand

    I'm at a loss why Steam responds to certain games with absolutely overwhelming support, and then lets other games like Fossil Echo or Papo and Yo just sit there. Seems like the arthouse crowd is sometimes too lazy to buy anything on this platform, and some people have absurd expectations with budget titles, which is a shame because games like this deserve better sales.

Seems like the arthouse crowd is sometimes too lazy to buy anything on this platform, and some people have absurd expectations with budget titles, which is a shame because games like this deserve better sales.

    Rime is an amazing experience. It's as simple as that. I played this on PS4, and all I can say is the graphics are even better here, and the FPS is a solid 60 on my 1070/2600K setup with 1080p. Anything more and you might run into some troubles without better hardware.

    It's totally acceptable that this game wears its inspiration on its sleeves, and yet who cares when it all comes together this well? Miyazaki films, Joaquín Sorolla paintings, and the games Journey and Ico come to mind. This world is so profoundly lovely and attractive that I can basically overlook almost any flaws with the game.

    The gameplay experience is actually soothing and fun to me, and I enjoy a very wide variety of games and difficulties across genres. No, you aren't going to be challenged like some SMB platformer or a PUBG gun game. It's not meant to be that way. It wouldn't even work that way. This is a relaxing puzzle game that swings toward the easier side, but it makes up for it with a decent amount of collectibles, and the game never overstays its welcome.

    The graphics and world here are like some amalgamation of a Miyazaki film, Wind Waker, and ABZU/Ico. Honestly, I wasn't sure I was going to be impressed by their world, as there is limited interaction, but it is actually a breathtaking accomplishment. I am injecting SMAA at 1080p and the image quality is fantastic. While not overly detailed the bloomy resonance of the island recalls games like Ico and Shadow of the Colossus in tone to the point you really got to congratulate the team of 18 people in Spain that made this over the years. It was a struggle, but what a diamond that struggle birthed. There is just something wonderful about running around a deserted place that has no equivalency in the modern world.

    I cannot help but love this thing. It's too charming to hate, too pretty to leave behind, and overall the experience is something that the whole family can enjoy. You would think there would be a bigger audience for such an indie, but with time more and more people will find this gem as it releases on all the platforms.

    Anyone looking for a beautiful world spanning day and night that wants to solve a few puzzles and gaze at some gorgeous visuals is in for a treat here. Some of the collectibles are hidden fairly well and will take some logical thinking to collect. It's all very peaceful and heartwarming. Highly recommended.    … Expand

However, after hearing a lot more about the game and reading about it (and also seeing that it was a lower price), I decided to give it a go, and let me tell you, I had an incredible time.
    I'll be the first to let you know, "RiME" is not for everyone. The game doesn't tell you anything: you interpret the story in your own way, you aren't told where to go or how to get there. Some people might get frustrated by that. Me? I was so moved by the game that I couldn't care less. The game is visually breathtaking, emotional, fun, exciting, heartbreaking, and all-around excellent. The sound design is also incredible, and I can say without hesitation that the music really added to the experience as a whole.
    Like I said, the game isn't for everyone: the story can be frustrating to understand, the puzzles can be frustrating to solve, and some may find it too slow. That's totally okay, you are entitled to your opinion. However, I personally loved "RiME," and I can definitely say that if your curiosity is piqued, then give this game a go. It was an unforgettable experience and a beautiful game overall.

    You play a little boy shipwrecked on a mysterious island. The goal is obviously to progress to the enormous tower that rises far above the rest of the island's structures. The game gives you ample guidance in the form of a fox friend and beams of light. The puzzles in the game can be challenging but by no means limiting. Trial and error will get you through anything. Exploration is always an option.

    The heart of the game is the protagonist. You want to help the boy find a out the secrets, find his way off the island. The music builds up nicely as the adventure goes from curious to daring to sinister. The level design is brilliantly artistic, and every now and then I marveled at the team that put it all together. Someday I'll go back, not only to pick up the collectibles but also to see it all again. If anything, the adventure on the island is too short. (My playthrough was at least 7 hours).

    Parting thoughts on this: There is nothing that I would say is wrong with Ryme. For the price, the amount of time it takes to play it, and the experience it gives you, it's just about perfect. (Full disclosure: this was a PS Plus "free" game for me.)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros: Beautiful environment/music/story. Non-frustrating puzzles.
    Cons: Big world to get lost in

    I had no business playing this game since I don't like puzzle games, but I did enjoy this anyway. The scenery was beautiful, very well rendered at all times. And even though it's a puzzle game, I didn't get too frustrated. The only 'con' I found was the environments, while beautiful, were pretty large and I would get lost/confused at times. There wasn't much to do in such a big area besides find the path.
    And the story was totally (SPOILER)........heart-wrenching. I thought it was a beautiful idea, having not just the father's stages of grief, but the son's, almost like Enu felt terrible about leaving his father behind and afraid of crossing over. I liked it, but it left me sad. Ironically enough I did accept it at the end. DABDA indeed.

I had to admit when I first started playing it the game had no direction, there's no objectives menu, no map but I soon started to realise I didn't need either, I could create my own.

    The puzzles were great and was one of the key elements that made the game stand out, my only complaint was that a lot of them were quite easy but it really depends on how good you are at solving puzzles.

    The game's length surprised me, I thought it was going to be as short as Journey but it was far longer and far more engaging.

    Ended up giving it 9/10, didn't give it a 10 mainly cause there isn't much replay-ability value and sometimes the world can feel quite empty and lifeless but everything else I felt was superb.    … Expand

    The music is a delight.

    I don't know why I tend to avoid indie games, being honest, I got Rime free due to my Plus subscription. When I start the game I felt lost: no story, no contextualization, etc. But that issue was a sort of incentive to keep playing in order to find out the plot. What a wise decision!

    The game is fun and has a great emotional journey. Soundtrack is brilliant and get me emotional since the start of the game and the ending is simple yet so Strong and effective. Game-play is good not the best but still fun. Every game has a flows, but the reason this game one got 10/10 because of the overall experience was positive and journey was unique and emotionally well done.

    So graphics are lovely, sound is really fantastic. I kept thinking oh this will be the end and it wasn't and I was thrilled to get more. It was a bigger game than I expected.

    It is a fantastic experience that really I would need to be very picky to fault. The frames drop but it doesn't affect play, or cause motion sickness. Having a run button would have been nice. Camera is occasionally not the best but it isn't really bad or anything. Like I say, this is trying to find fault, these things didn't actually bother me.

    Puzzles are simple, so you don't end up stuck for too long. The colour pallette is perfect. The atmosphere and overall experience is 10/10.

    This is a very locked in its genre game, so if you don't like adventure puzzle games, don't go here.    … Expand

    Rime est jeu qui va rester dans ma mémoire. Je lui donne un 8/10 à cause de son aspect émotionnel et de l'ambiance générale. La fin du jeu va certainement vous faire vivre beaucoup d'émotions ! Toutefois, c'est pas le premier jeu que je recommanderais à un "gamer" aguerri. Le jeu se termine en environ 8-10 heures et ce n'est pas difficile.

    Status of an indie title helped the game keep its signature and way of story-telling. Balanced gameplay, emphasis on atmosphere and raising appropriate emotions at the right moments make it an addictive offering for those who seek adventurous story-based third-person candies. Especially the PC players who do not benefit from Sony's patronate.

    The only irritation I had was that I read an interview with the designer and he explained the meaning. Whilst really interesting, there's no way the gamer would have grasped the roots of the game, so I felt a little cheated having pondered my own ideas of the game's meaning for some time!!

    Does RiME live up to fevered expectations, to its own influential forebears? Perhaps, and at its most effective, Tequila Works’ dreamy, abstract exploration combines the best elements of the subgenre's finest. Where the game truly shines is in touching choreographed stretches, moving moments wherein visuals, emotional direction, and transcendent music align in shockingly powerful ways. Contemplative, illusory, achingly forlorn and triumphantly buoyant, RiME will most certainly give you pause — a boy, an island, and one of life’s prevailing mysteries.

    It might not achieve the levels of ingenuity displayed by some of its counterparts, but Rime stands on its own merits. Its captivating visuals, engrossing soundtrack, and rewarding puzzles are a wonderful combination on their own, but the game’s narrative elements and ultimate payoff go well beyond expectations to deliver something truly memorable. It’s been a long journey to get here, but Rime is most certainly an experience you don’t want to miss.
