    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.

    To my feeling the game took major inspiration of Journey and TLOZ: wind waker. It's not a copy, but the look and feel is just there. 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.

There is a genre of these "chill" games and Ryme is among the best of them.

    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

    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.
