    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thoroughly enjoyed Until Dawn. The atmosphere was incredible, the decisions were tough and the game has great replay-ability and coop potential. A horror RPG is something that I was very intrigued to try and it delivered. The deaths were brutal, plenty of tense moments with the quick time events and jump scares. Replaying is fun but somewhat linear and you realise there are only one or two moments each character can die. It kept to a loosely realistic plot until the "zombies", a very tired and unoriginal horror character. The plot feels like one of those average teen films, however now you can make the decisions instead of screaming at the characters only to realise you are actually not much smarter. A great horror RPG with a fun setting, more please!… Expand

    Nice game but short. I really didn't try all the different paths of story, just the chapter before the end, that has some changes.
    I wouldn't like to play it again from the beginning though.

It recaps your latest chapters much like a mini-series on a TV show and the style of which the characters interact and do things does this very well. It also has a butterfly effect that affects the story and characters in a surprising amount of ways (although it should have been a bit more dynamic and complex in my opinion). The use of quick-time events and not moving your controller adds much tension and pressure that makes an exceptional experience.

    The only downsides are some characters receive more play time then others and are not explored equally. Also, the playthrough runs (while initially good to do a another run to collect everything you missed) can only last so long and yield the same reactions and decisions that do not dynamically change each run, which is a real shame. The story takes the role of a typical B or C movie script that deflates its logic after the halfway point and much of the character development and relationship bars are almost meaningless in their purpose. Regardless, Until Dawn is a horror game that mixes a show/movie style that works and is a great experience to play when going in blind.    … Expand

    One of the best games I've played. Until Dawn is a unique teenage horror game. The horror is not on monsters, it's just another "human". This game will make you stay wake "until dawn" to complete. The only reason for not a 10/10 is because the butterfly effect doesn't seems to work well. This is a must-have game for PS4. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

    Until Dawn is one of those rare games that bridge the gap between traditional media and videogames. They really nailed the affect of playing a horror film. Janky controls are the only thing keeping this cult classic from being a 10 out of 10

A charmingly trashy horror run-through with a few decisions that unfortunately didn't lead to a "No Death Run" for me.

    story

    The experience around this villa on the mountain and the reunion of this group after the terrible event with the two sisters was very suitable as a basis. Is just this typical horror scenario. Underneath, a myth that came true in the game is packed, which I always like very much anyway.

    The characters all had their roles and were different enough, although sometimes I lacked the hysteria given the situation everyone was in. Various crazy things happened and again and again you dealt with it fairly easily (but there were also downright screamers). Certainly there were characters that annoyed me a lot (Emily), but I still wanted to keep everyone alive.

    Basically I was satisfied with my decisions, unfortunately the LAST decision caused a triple kill, which I couldn't understand at all at the moment, because 3 people stood together and only one of them ran out, while the other two simply stop and die . Only Mike's death was the one I expected.

    What bothered me a little was that it was basically very predictable.

    In terms of dialogue, it was okay, but on the trashy level. But some scenes were really good.

    Graphics / performance

    The game ran smoothly on the Ps5 and honestly still looks very good. Very nice character models, the atmosphere generated around the mountain, the different impressions of the area, it all looked pretty cool. I was a bit amazed at how good the game still looks.

    The characters' facial expressions were usually very well done and Josh in particular had good "acting" moments.

    Gameplay

    Typical gameplay for this type of game. Do a lot of walking simulator and look for clues and make fateful decisions. I wouldn't play such interactive "films" all the time, but you can throw in such an offshoot every now and then. The Quicktime events were pretty forgiving, only very few hadn't managed to do it, but only those that you could simply do again.

    In retrospect, I absolutely could not say which decisions led to the triple kill, which is a shame, here I am missing a decent summary, such as e.g. after each level in Detroit: Become Human. I didn't really know what to do with these butterfly scenarios. Everyone lived with me until the last decision.

    The controls were a bit fiddly in some corners, the characters got stuck on an edge every now and then, it wasn't a big deal, but it bothered me a bit.

    Conclusion

    I had fun with the game, it wasn't really scary, but I had a few goose bumps and, funny enough, one or the other jumpscare even caught me (I'm relatively immune to it). With 8/10 trashy dialogues, the game is very well served and I'm rather astonished that the developers with the Dark Pictures Anthology: Men of Medan and Little Hope have declined so much in comparison (for me). Except for the missing co-op aspect, Until Dawn is clearly superior.    … Expand

I would recommend this as a must play or must buy for anyone with a ps4 for many reasons. The first is the quality of the title. I found the story and design interesting throughout which motivated me to continue. At no point was I bored and I credit this to the breakaway rotation of the characters you play. Essentially play until a mistake or the chapter ends. In the case of a gameplay mistake the game just cuts away to another character and you play that character for a while. I really enjoyed how this not only limited boredom and frustration but also boosted interest in what the consequences of the mistake was going to be. Secondly the gameplay is for anyone. Kids to seniors honestly could play this. It's scary but not too scary, gameplay is hard enough without being too hard nor is it too easy to be insulting. A nice mix was achieved and I presume the reaction times for this determination were determined during a tutorial test. Third, the game is inexpensive considering its quality and gameplay duration especially since you can replay chapters after the game is over or just start a new game from the beginning. The most important reason though to try this game is that I just can't see many interactive games being developed with such love. In the bonus footage one actor suggests interactive games will be the wave of the future. I strongly disagree. In my opinion only several ideas will make strong decision based games and horror is probably the number one formula for it to succeed in. If true the games have a limited source to tap. Thinking about that the game are cliche, will unlikely go blockbuster and from there the industry will likely shy away from making these games with a lot of resources. Luckily I feel this is the game that went all in and crafted a unique game to showcase the genre. In turn I feel this will be the epic peak of this genre as I just can't see many interactive games being better made than this. I just can't see how one can improve upon this game other than directly tying it to a sequel or more. But for what it is this is a very highly rated game for your first experience of this type of game and I give thumbs up for every aspect of its development. Very cheap entertainment imo.… Expand

    Highly satisfying for fans of cinematic-style survival horror (like me!) The action is downplayed somewhat n favor of establishing ambience, but when it does happen, it grips you like a chill-wind slap in the face. The characters, overall, are well crafted, superbly acted and made me care about the storyline.

    Never, and I mean EVER, have I been more conflicted about rating a game in my life. "Until Dawn" was a game that managed to grab me in ways that few other games have.

It sucked me in to the point where I didn't want to put the controller down (and if it wasn't for a massive headache I had gotten from playing the game for 5 hours straight, I wouldn't have put the controller down). Based on how much fun I had playing the game and my engagement with the story and my choices, I would LOVE to give this game a perfect 10, but unfortunately, that would indicate that I loved the game in all aspects, and unfortunately, I don't want to look biased. That said, this is one of the few games where I can safely say that the final score the game receives will GROSSLY undersell just how fun the game is to play.
    "Until Dawn" has plenty of things to like: choices that actually matter, photorealistic visuals, a great soundtrack, wonderful acting, and an outstanding parodic approach to the horror genre. More importantly, it's just plain fun. As silly as the story can get, it's incredibly engaging, and it makes you feel excited for just how much the tiniest choices can impact the way the plot unfolds.
    Unfortunately, it's not a perfect experience. While the visuals are mostly stunning, some of the character's faces and animations are a little off-putting. Not only that, but the story starts to veer off into ridiculousness in the second half. The first half is absolutely impressive, but the story loses some of its luster late in the game, and unfortunately just becomes less exciting. Not only that, but from a gameplay standpoint, it's not super-exciting either. The game is filled with scripted cinematics, meaning you'll be watching a decent bit of the game instead of playing it. This has been done a lot before and it can be off-putting for some gamers.
    Overall, though, don't let my 8 out of 10 rating for the game raise ANY doubt, "Until Dawn" is a lot of fun and it's a game I feel horror fans and PlayStation 4 owners should absolutely not miss out on. If you have a PlayStation 4 and you've been ignoring this game, you need to stop doing that. Do yourself a favor and play this game. It's a worthwhile edition to any PlayStation 4 collection.

    Two things that are really hard to pull off:

    a. "Plot twists" that actually make sense.

    b. "Interactive novel"-style games in which your choices genuinely affect events.

    The highest kudos to the developers of Until Dawn for pulling off BOTH of these feats, and creating a highly entertaining product besides.

    Easily the biggest surprise and sleeper hit of 2015.
    Until Dawn is pretty much the perfect horror game. Everything from the tense build up through to the climax is expertly designed. The story is clichéd but feels unique at the same time. The characters are effective stereotypes, none are the same and they all have very different personalities.

    If you own a PS4 you need to play this game, its just another sign of why Sony is dominating the new consoles.
    If you like a good story, shocks, frights, gore and getting in the heads and being along for the ride with the characters you control I can't recommend this game enough.    … Expand

    This game is amazing! The game is well written. Until Dawn does an excellent job making you feel as if you are truly in a horror movie. Every decision you make comes with a consequence. That consequence can either good or bad. The graphics are great and the story line is just as good. I was not a fan of the camera angles. That is the only reason I felt I could not give the game a 10.

    Until Dawn is a great game, not perfect, but great. The story is a genuine homage no old teen horror movies and doesn't try to be nothing more, it respects what it is. As many have been saying, the game feels more like a interactive movie than a game and that works perfectly, as the gameplay with QTEs and decisions made throught the story feels really organic.

I think the reason I often sidelined it, was because I knew it was essentially interactive movie. But after playing it through and with only 3 characters surviving the journey, I released that the choices you made actually did impact the game a lot. it was far more interactive than I had first thought.
    The characters, although mostly unlikable at the beginning, start to grow on you as they are tormented through the game, often showing a different side that you might not expect. So if they do meet a grisly end, you feel connected enough to actually care.
    I ended up playing it through about 3 times in the end as I wanted to do a blind run first and then go back and get all the trophies. Each time i finished the game the ending was substantially different. meaning the complexity of each tiny choice made, branches off in to a unique path, a true Butterfly Effect. so it makes you choose wisely and actually ponder as to what your decision might mean later down the line.
    Graphically this game is beautiful, the lighting, character models, textures and effects make for a very believable world with real character and mystery. each area looks totally unique from the next. The animations are on a whole pretty solid, with a few stiff moments here and there.
    The sound and voice acting are also pretty good, with each character looking and sounding different enough from each other that you know who's who. my one exception to this is the character Emily, who soon starts to grate your ears every time she speaks.
    The environmental sound design is also great, with subtle noises in the distance, to those big cinematic moments, it has a cinematic quality that adds to the tension and on screen events.
    I won't spoil the story though as it's best to go in knowing nothing. But it's definitely enjoyable and very interesting, with a lot of environmental storytelling too if you want to delve deeper.
    All in all, i thoroughly enjoyed this game, although i wasn't expecting to. For anyone else who's put off playing this until now, I can wholeheartedly recommend it.    … Expand

If you do, you may lose one member of your group. So yes, you have always to be ready for everything. It took me about 8 hours and I finished the game with 4 members (3 girls, 1 male). I lost 2 members when I was almost finishing the game. In my opinion this game deserve an 8 or 9. Graphics and voices are great and in the extra content you can see the real actors and most of them are almost the same than in the game.

I then bought a PS4 just for this game (Extended Edition, 25€) I played all night long and got fully immersed. Really well graphics, creepy atmosphere, authentic Voice Actors and high overall audio quality. Sure, things you can interact with are limited, but that´s not the point in this game. You have to care about your teens and that requires a high level of attention and good reactions at Quick time Events. I really cared about my teens and enjoyed how the story was arranged/set up. Of course you have to deal with immature youngster dialogues and naive but authentic behaviours. It didn´t annoy me at all (well, Emily **** did), instead it assists the immersion of the game in my opinion. I could not experience significant FPS Drops with few little exceptions which doesn´t disrupt gameplay. Until Dawn does an excellent job scaring you!

At this point i predict this game has some replay value because you are able to decide very differently at various points. Full recommendation!    … Expand

    In UNTIL DAWN we manage each of the eight friends. We can skillfully escape from the dangerous situation, and especially to kill some disliked the hero. And it's cool! Each of the eight friends could die. Or to stay alive. It all depends on you. Yes, there are pseudo-elections, but the Ira carefully conceals them, making the game seem more variable. And believe me, the replayability of the game high! Can pereproyti game 3 times, if not more.

    Eight friends perfectly played by real actors. Also in the game there is a psychiatrist played by Peter Stormare. His facial expressions are interesting to watch, but at the same time it looks so ugly that even more terrifying.

    The characters seem to be cardboard at first. But over time, they disclosed. And, for example, nasty muscleman at the end can be a real hero. The plot is long swings, but over time, gaining momentum and doesn't let go. You wonder what will happen next. Besides the role played by "the butterfly effect" that changes the story.

Chuvstvuetsa a certain woodenness of the hero when they are run. not a small part of the game we walk, and the walk down to locations can be a grind. The story itself is interesting, but to learn lore, which will help to fully understand the story you need to look for collectionne items - and that's bad storytelling.

    UNTIL DAWN is a great game incarnation of the horror film with teenagers. It has everything: a serial killer, ghosts, monsters. The plot is intriguing, the characters are pleasing, and acting. The game is not perfect, but it should pass. And get ready to be scared, because there's a lot of skimmer.    … Expand

We're given a very basic "cabin in the woods" horror setting with average horror character tropes that YOU get to either adhere to or ignore. For me, I chose to adhere to them which made the game not only thrilling, but fun as hell. Oh, this is the irreverent sexy blonde? Let's kill her off. Oh, you're the smart, sincere, pure girl? You have to live to the finale. It was an absolute blast and unlike any other games I've played, this game requires attention to detail and playing through the story again. It's an 8 hour movie with YOU and the controls. You get to write the story as you go. There's no losing, there's only following through with whatever choices you make because you can't go back. It doesn't take much skill, it only takes a lot of deliberation and confidence. Other than pushing some buttons, the game does the rest and you're along for the ride. The only thing I didn't like was that this game didn't really become the haunted house game that it sort of implied it would. "What if I told you this house was haunted?" is something that you're asked towards the beginning, yet nothing is haunted which let me down. If there's one thing that scares me, it's what I can't see because it could be anything, but this game eventually shows you what is going on and I didn't find it as scary as I anticipated.… Expand

    I LOVE Until Dawn. Apart from the excellent acting and the genuinely scary moments in the game, the butterfly-effect mechanic was just beautifully implemented. There are so many different ways you can screw up- and while some butterfly effect games go for more predictable routes (i.e. "be a good person and everything will be chill") this one really brings some chaos into it; you can't takeI LOVE Until Dawn.

    This was a good interactive movie, scary and with an engaging story, it gives you the illusion that you’re the director of a movie and you are the one to decide what is going to happen.

    But then again, it’s just an illusion. The thing about any of your decisions can completely change the story in the game is not quite accurate, after playing the game for a second time and making    This was a good interactive movie, scary and with an engaging story, it gives you the illusion that you’re the director of a movie and you are the one to decide what is going to happen.

    Another thing that I didn’t like either was the overuse of startles, you cannot call that scary, it's just annoying.

    One of my favourite games of all time, it's so special. The story is excellent, the characters are phenomenal & memorable, the graphic is amazing. I reckon it's much better than Life is Strange. Detroit Become a Human is similiar extraordinary like Until Dawn.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Choices do matter in this game, so that's nice. Wish you could've been able to save everyone (yes you can let Josh live, but not really since he turns into a Wendigo). Controls can be kind of awkward at times with the camera placement, but for the most part are fine. The "character traits" and "relationships" meters could've been used better and give you unique dialogue options or unique scenarios. This game feels like you're in a horror movie and that's what matters most to me for a game like this.… Expand

    I've never played anything like this. Really a fresh air in the genre. It is not a 10/10 because of choppy framerate

    Good game with interesting story and lore, but it's not scary at all. So, 8 out of 10

    Игра хорошая, но это не хоррор. Это квест с элементами триллера. Будет страшно если ты ни разу не смотрел хоррор. Сюжет удивить, но местами. Графончик приемлемый, даже в 2019 не хочется блевать. Есть конечно кривые полигончики, но местами. В гейм плеер задействован сенсорная панель, и подсветка. Русская озвучка подвела. Игре необходим как кислород - мат (все таки молодёжный хоррор).

    Une bonne histoire cohérente. Plein de possibilités et une très belle réalisation. Seul petit bémol, le doublage en français parfois mal synchronisé et avec le son provenant du fond de la salle de bain.

    I enjoy my interactive story games. But this one was by far the best! I loved the choices you could make, leading to peoples death or survival (though I wish there was more, and more meaning behind a lot of the choices.) A lot of time the choices didn't change or do much. But when I saw "This person will remember this" I always thought Oh shi- something is about to go down!

    The most accurate rating is 9 for a typical user. This game has awesome graphics, story and a very good gameplay sometimes and mediocre in other times. But if you like horror games like me this is epic. Its not too scary if you watched much movies. Its a psychological thriller with tragical characters.

    A barely interactive horror film about typical American teenagers. You know, with a cabin. In the woods. And a psychopath. We’ve all seen that, we’ve heard these dialogues, we all know these characters. Still Until Dawn has a pretty good story and is a nice homage to horror flicks and despite being a collection of simple QTE’s can both engage and surprise. [11/2015, p.44]

    It's tense, smart, and able to arouse the player's curiosity until the end. Some design choices are a bit controversial, and the acting is not always spot on, but it's definitely a great homage to horror movies.

    Gameplay-wise, not exactly a killer app, but anybody who looks at those visuals will be dead impressed. Short, but plenty of reasons to replay, and it’s the spookiest game since Alien: Isolation. [November 2015, p72]
