    This always happens with exclusives. I get it your upset because this game isn't coming out on the PC or the Xbox. Stop with the 0 reviews already with haters that don't have the console. There really needs to be some validation on this site. Maybe link gamertag's to usernames. Obviously the people giving a 0 review are trolls.

Support this developer for taking a chance on creating a game like this. It's a great take on campy horror flicks. If you like the movie Cabin in the Woods, you have to play this game. In collecting items and such we really felt like we were piecing together little parts of the story. I can't recommend this game enough.… Expand

    You get exactly what you thought, and more!

    You want a fun and scary horror experience with (seemingly) cheesy horror movie characters and storytelling, a lot of blood, gore, atmosphere and jump scares? You got it! But Until Dawn offers you much more on the way: Sure you can enjoy the game on the surface, make quick decisions, see bloody deaths and have a good laugh now and then    You get exactly what you thought, and more!

    But Until Dawn offers you much more on the way:
    Sure you can enjoy the game on the surface, make quick decisions, see bloody deaths and have a good laugh now and then with the dialogue (actually funny stuff)! That's all good.

    But you can also dig into the story, help develop characters and for once really influence the game with what you decide.
    On a certain level the game plays like Heavy Rain, with it's decisions, quick button pushing but the thing is: in Until Dawn there are lots of paths, lots of choices that really change the course of the story and not only by presenting a different part of the story but actually by changing the characters, their relations with each other or the environment and your choices may even kill the characters you came to like (which can actually happen quite often if you make bad decisions).

    This is much more than just a horror game, this is the ultimate horror movie experience, in which you decide if people do stupid stuff and die, or you can bond with your characters, try to let them survive, develop their personality, their relations with each other and much more.

    Check this one out because you won't regret it!    … Expand

    Until dawn is an interactive game/experience that takes any of David Cages drivel and **** to task, even out-'consequences' telltales "this character will remember that".

    Probably the biggest sleeper hit of 2015.

I like the small things the game has like the cheap shots feature. Basically during the scariest parts of the game your camera starts recording without you knowing. It captures your reaction so you can watch later and laugh about how much you jumped during a scary scene. I also love that you control which characters love and die.

    This is this by far the best horror experience out there, be it movie or a game, and one of the best interactive experiences overall. Graphics is out of this world. Yes, it's an evolution of Heavy Rain game mechanics, but UD is totally on a new level. I wish there would have been a sci-fi game of this quality.

    It's a 10. Not because of its mechanics, it's because of the way the entire game it's built. You feel like god in a movie, you can make them do stupid stuff or play safe and clever. I finished twice, and i want to do it a few more times to see what else can i do or how many endings i could find. You don't play a lot, it's QTE+exploration but is intense and fun.

    The character played by Hayden Panettiere is lifelike, the movement, the voice, the facial expressions. If you were a fan of heroes, you'll know what i mean.
    The game sets on you a path where, in honesty you are on rails following the story through to its completion. Every chapter has decisions and events where you choose the destiny of certain characters. This make it immersive and i have fully enjoyed every minute I've spent.
    Its scary, jumpy and leaves you wondering when the next twist int he plot will happen. Each 'jump scare' moment it recorded and you can watch back as you literally jump out of your chair.
    Overall the game is amazing, id not change anything and also look forward to see if the do a Morpheus edition.

I enjoyed this more then the Quantic Dreams games which tend to be too drawn out and slow. Until dawn has great atmosphere and pace , with a few twists along the way. I have finished it twice and have also watched a few "lets plays" to see other peoples decisions in the game. But these don't do the game justice , you really have to play it for yourself. Also is a great game to play with someone who doesn't really like video games they tend to also get invested in the story and decisions as well. Must buy!… Expand

The graphics are top notch, and the gameplay is easy enough for gameplayers of any skill level to have a good time. Every choice you make determines a future action. Make friends, make enemies, purposely kill everyone, it's worth it.… Expand

    With 4 friends, everyone picks 2 characters, and controls the game when that character is playing the game. It makes the game crazy real, and i've never experienced something so awesome with friends.

    I'm not a horror guy, and I definitely got scared, but I didn't have any trouble sleeping that night or anything.. so you'll be able to get through ;) especially with friends its less scarier.

    This game was crazy fun, well written, the graphics are AMAZING, and it just completely surprised me. I'm really dissapointed this isn't getting a sequal because I think it would do really well now that everyone know how much fun it can be to play with friends. They didn't even market this game, and it came out in the summer instead of halloween. A sequel released near halloween with the huge install base of the ps4 now would sell very well!

    The overall game mechanics are nothing new, they work the same as a "The Walking Dead" game where everything you do will have a consequence later in the story.
    Visually the game was beautifully crafted and proved how capable the PS4 is handling graphics that almost look real.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. UD ci porta nel tipico scenario da film horror: un gruppo di amici bloccati in una casa in mezzo al nulla, con una bufera di neve in arrivo, dovranno salvarsi dall'arrivo di alcune creature spaventose che cercheranno di ucciderli.
    Chi sono? Solo legati alla morte delle due sorelle, amiche di questi ragazzi? Riusciranno a scappare prima dell'alba?
    Il gioco ci dà la possibilità di poter decidere per i personaggi che possiamo usare a turno: ogni scelta avrà delle conseguenze, alcune volte non così terribili, altre, invece, porteranno alla morte di uno dei ragazzi. Lasciare che il giocatore possa usare tutti i personaggi a turno lo aiuta ad immedesimarsi nella storia, a poterli conoscere più a fondo e a poter controllare quelle che sono le loro relazioni con gli altri membri del gruppo. UD gioca molto sulla caratterizzazione dei personaggi che li rende molto più umani, portando il giocatore ad affezionarsi ad alcuni di essi.
    Riuscirà poi il giocatore a decidere con la testa? O si farà trasportare dalle simpatie o antipatie? Possiamo fidarci di loro?
    La storia non si svolge in una sola ambientazione, quella della casa: grazie alla trama complessa, non la solita storia di possessione, chi gioca viene portato ad esplorare posti lontani e "nascosti"e fare delle, non tranquille, passeggiate nella notte.

    Easily my favorite game to date. You get so invested into characters just for them to have a chance to be killed off. That’s is where most of the scares are from, scared of losing them because of a wrong choice. Not only is it fun to play but the story is so intriguing and different. I would recommend this to almost everyone!

I was really blown away by how good it was. You can tell the story was written by someone who has a deep understanding of the horror genre. I went in with no expectations, and left wanting more.

I was really blown away by how good it was. You can tell the story was written by someone who has a deep understanding of the horror genre. I went in with no expectations, and left wanting more. So I replayed it again. And again. The third time I managed to save all 8 characters (plus wolfie) and it was quite challenging. And it felt so rewarding. Nothing beats the first time though, especially playing with a friend spectating, it really brought the experience to the next level. I am now letting another friend play it through my ps5 via shareplay, and he was instantly addicted to the story just like I was. And I am getting plenty of enjoyment watching him play and make choices, even with me knowing every possible outcome, and Ill keep encouraging my friends to try this game because I want to share this amazing experience with as many people as possible. Maybe I like horror games more than I thought, or maybe it's just my type of game, but either way, if you are remotely interested in horror movies or story driven games, this is really something you need to experience. Everything hit for me. The story was well thought out, interesting, and with more than enough twists and turns to keep it exciting. The pacing was good too. This can be hard to nail properly and at times i thought it dragged ever so slightly but it always felt worth it in the end. The characters were well written and cast. They were clearly inspired by and meant to fit all the classic stereotypes from the horror genre, but none of them felt bland, each one of them had their own unique personality, and they were relatable. This was enhanced by an excellent script with mostly realistic dialogue with an unexpected amount of genuine humor. The voice acting was top tier especially compared to other games. The attention to detail of it all was impressive. I was genuinely amazing at the countless nods to classic horror movies throughout. It was like the creators took every great horror movie, stuck them in a blender, and Until Dawn was the result. You would expect the final product to be bad and sloppy, but somehow they managed to make it the exact opposite and it feels expertly crafted. To add to my positive experience, I noticed very few (if any) bugs/glitches in my play throughs, Also, the graphics were outstanding for me. I had a hard time believing this game was from 2015. This could be due to my particular setup and your experience on a ps4 as opposed to a ps5 might be different. The score was outstanding. Audio in any horror film/game is extremely important for everything from the general vibes, to building suspense at crucial moments. It can make or break this type of thing, and they completely nailed it. From the main theme (O' Death) to all of the other music and sounds you hear, it is just perfect. The game tells you this, but I will reiterate: Your choices MATTER. After multiple play throughs, I noticed tons of changes from a bunch of different dialogues to seeing completely new scenes. This is a double edged sword though, as some choices lead to outcomes that are not as cinematically pleasing as others. In my opinion, there IS a correct way to play the game, but the only way to experience that correct way is to either coincidentally make all the best choices the first time (almost impossible to do) or just do multiple play throughs. If you like the first play through, I promise, going back and making all different choices is well worth it. The final scene aka the boss fight can be great and very intense if you choose a certain way, but can leave a little to be desired if you choose another way. For me, even the worst possible ending was good enough. NOTE: this is more of an interactive movie than a standard video game. Be prepared for a lot of watching and less doing. The beauty of this is that what you see is always entertaining, and changes drastically depending on what you choose. But don't ever think you can put down your controller and relax, because as soon as you do there will be an unexpected quick time event that may or may not have huge ramifications should you miss any buttons. Standard horror rules apply here: If you're a brave soul, play by yourself, at night with noise canceling headphones on, the lights off, and buckle up. If you're of the faint of heart, play with the lights on during daylight hours, preferably with company. Either way you will love it.… Expand

    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.
