    Setting: It provided a dark, creepy, nerve wracking setting with the mines, to an equally tense and foreboding atmosphere of a comfy lodge to an empty dismal one. The forest itself seems to swallow you whole at times. There were plenty of items to bring the deathly stillness and ominous feelings to a higher level. Everything from skulls, dried blood, broken furniture, rusty saws, creepy paintings, high stairways and enhanced this. Whenver I had to walk around, my eyes were constantly roaming around, trying to see through the darkness or determine whether a chair was a dead body or something.

    Characters: There was a good variety of all sorts of personalities in the cast. You'll hate some, you'll love some. All I can simply say here, is that the characters had depths, their dialogues with each other felt very real and they were relatable. I liked everyone personally except for Emily lol. But kudos to the voice actress and scriptwriter for succeeding in making her be so disliked.

    Sounds: Creepy and dark background music, accompanied by screechings really tickles the hair on one's neck. It was fantastic. I also like the music that played on Jessica's cell. The sounds of crunching feet in the snow and other movements were also very accurate, and helped alot with immersion.

    Story: Without spoiling, I'll say the story was pretty crazy (in a good way) and it really hooked me to keep playing. You're constantly going forward in hopes of surviving, but there's also a secondary curiosity on what the hell is actually happening. The game provides good detailed clues to push the story forward and it really shows how the past affects the future. I enjoyed it immensely, though I wish we got to play certain characters alittle more. We know too much about some, like Mike, and not enough for characters like Matt for example.

    Shortcoming: It'd be nice to able to run. Like seriously. If my loved one was in peril, I'm not gonna walk around like I'm taking a stroll. Secondly, already mentioned, having more equal playtimes with all the characters would be niced. Being able to explore Josh's head more was very desired. The character's relationship bars also needed to play a bigger role in the game. Also, the jumpscares were alittle overplayed in the game.

    Overall, I would definitely recommend this game to fans of the horror genre. It's entertaining, very human, suspenseful and very enjoyable to play.    … Expand

(looking at you, Beyond Two Souls) Another thing Until Dawn does right is the amazing graphics, there is a heap of detail in every environment, so that really enhances the experience. Another thing that makes Until Dawn great is that the story behind why the ghost is attacking you, or why the ghost is haunting you, these facts are not handed to you, you have to search for clues in the environment that explain what's going on.

It feels like a movie, in which you make the decisions. It's nice to have an experience like this once in a while.

    I played the game through with my friends during the weekend and the game wasn't that scary, to me at least. My friends said that it was somewhat scary, but not on the same level as Outlast, for example. Though we didn't use headphones or a surround home theater and obviously we had each others' company and support. Jump scares are something the game has a lot of though, especially in the beginning. I'd say there's even too much of them, although the game is supposed to pay homage to the old horror films with the cliches included. That is something you have to keep in mind while playing the game.

    Unfortunately the game has some pacing issues. Sometimes you walk around for a good while before anything happens. The occasionally awkward camera angles don't really help either. However this doesn't detract from the immersion and tension too much. The game makes up for its issues with great characters with marvelous voice acting, a tense atmosphere and an intriguing, if a bit predictable, plot. Also, don't let the QTE's scare you away. They are well done and keep you on the edge of your seat. The graphics are also good, but could be better on some parts. Animations can be a bit jerky and over-done at times, but all in all they are good.

    If you are wondering whether your choices really have an effect in the game, let me assure you: they do. Tough choices and the intriguing plot really makes you want to keep on playing. I really enjoyed my time with the game and, despite its flaws, it is a must-play for horror fans. Also, Hayden Panettiere. 'Nuff said.    … Expand

    What an awesome horror game. being a big fan of Heavy Rain I was excited to see the formula brought to horror and it succeeded with flying colors. With great moment to moment gameplay and really fleshed out characters. I really love the corny/ cheesy 1980's horror slasher feel to it as well. Another PS4 exclusive that Sony is proud of.

    Still testing review system. Copy paste:

    It's not a masterpiece, but it's certainly way above average. I can only see three reasons for someone giving it less than 7: watched a video and didn't like it/Sony hater, dislikes horror experiences, extreme loathe to QTEs.

The beginning of the game is just amazing, leaves you confused as hell, trying to find the answer on what the hell is going on, exactly what any horror game needs to do, create curiosity.

    Character introduction is very good as well, by that they are trying to hook you up and make you feel emotionally attached to the protagonists, and I must say that losing Sam for me would have been a rap, I was really trying to save her and as the story goes you feel like that towards all the characters, even **** ones - you are still gonna feel like you must save them because they are your friends. Moreover, true personalities will be revealed as well which will change your attitude to these people because everyone will be under severe pressure making life mattering choices, and as the story went on I had no regrets having Sam as my favorite one!

    Do the choices matter? Hell yeah they do, minor things can mess the whole story up, even though some events(very few) are going to happen anyways(does not relate to the ending, the lives of the friends are entirely in your hands! Even being too slow while crossing a river may mess the situation up!

    As the story reaches its middle things get a bit less tense(may be different for you, everyone reacts differently), but emotional connection to protagonists keeps you feel stressed and involved cause after hours you played trying to keep them alive you don't want to make a mistake which will waste your efforts. There are many hints in the game which may help you to make right choices(danger, fortune totems) and I want to tell you straight away - if you pick up death totem that does not mean the character is going to die anyway, it is just a possibility, everything is in your hands!

    This is an amazing game, goes to one of my favorites, don't understand people who are very critical about it, if you question price tag just think about how much work has been done of finishing paths for all different choices and the beautiful graphics this game has. You feel sorry that this game is only for PS4? There are games for PC or Xbox or Wii U only as well, don't be hating.

    So why I give it an 8? In my eyes, ending made it look so so. I was expecting much more emotions in the end, something that will make you very happy after all the difficulties you have overcome. Friends hugging, loving couples(of which there are 2 in this game) rejoining, kissing each other, that kind of stuff. However, game ends less emotionally, just going to the titles with video interview of survivals, I think it is a bit wack for such tense and emotional game, should have done it better.

    Nevertheless, great game, seeing some people giving 0 to this game is just nonsense, this title has definitely achieved great success in making choice based horror game. RECOMMEND IT!    … Expand

    Until Dawn is one of those games that you have to see/play firsthand to really understand the hype (or maybe even lack thereof in this case).

As a lover of horror movies, when I found out I could play through one, I was setting aside the cash months in advance to be sure I was ready for this gem when it came out.

    I wasn't disappointed.

    Until Dawn puts you in control of 8 friends who reunite at a mountain retreat a year after a horrible event. These character range from the typical "geek", the prom queen/king archetype characters, the jock and the rationale girl who, in a typical horror movie, you would deem as the "final girl". The great thing about this game is that anyone can be the "final girl/guy" and any of them can die.

    And because this game is filled with characters that you will undoubtedly grow to like and some you will despise (yes, I had one in particular), it may be in your best interest to put your personal feelings aside because this game may tempt you to let some meet their fates, but in doing so can seriously impact the progression of the story.

    This game uses a Butterfly Effect system. Much like the horrible Ashton Kutcher movie, this means that choices you make as one character during one scene can impact that character later on either positively or negatively. But it can also have an impact on other characters in scenes later in the game. This, of course, makes the replay value that much higher. It will make you want to go back and play through again and make different choices to see the various outcomes. Beware though. This game constantly saves (almost like it's recording it as it you play). This means if something goes wrong, there is no reloading the last checkpoint in an attempt to do-over. If your favorite character meets their grisly fate, oh well. Better latch on to a new character and do your best to keep them alive.

    The story is pretty cliché in its execution. A bunch of crazy kids go to a mountain retreat to have what could be their last hoorah after a tragic event from the previous year left them all somber. Horror ensues, people die, love can blossom and stupid dialogue is spoken. The acting is decent, considering some of these people are relatively unknown, and some even outshine the more well-known actors (yes, Hayden Panettiere, you needed to do better in some scenes). The maniac stalking you wears a creepy mask and, of course, the game provides decent jump scares.

    As far as the actual action of the game, much of it involves walking and exploring the really graphically beautiful areas looking for clues as to who the madman is as well as why the events of the previous year took place. When real action takes place, it's mostly cinematic with you having to perform quick time events to keep the scene moving along. Beware, these buttons pop up in various areas of the screen and can be hard to see sometimes. A mess up doesn't always mean game over, luckily. But too many stumbles by character A, could lead to them not being able to rescue character B in time, just for an example. But if that happens, again, the game keeps moving. Shed a tear or even a smirk at that character's death and keep on trucking.

    The PS4 was a great console for this to be released on. The graphics are stunning. Using facial capture, the characters look just like their actor counterparts and the details are insane. Pause the game when playing a character and see what I mean. You can use the R analog stick to move their faces to get a good look at the details.

    Until Dawn is not a game everyone will enjoy. As a player, you take a backseat to most of the action which for some isn't what they look for in a game. But if you enjoy a good narrative and like to have a bit more control over said narrative, then this game is worth a try. Those people who enjoyed Heavy Rain a few years back and even Indigo Prophecy from a decade ago (I enjoyed both) will definitely love this game. And the horror factor, especially during the first play-through, will keep this game interesting. Since many won't be able to save every character during the first play-through, it can be a game that can be on constant rotation for months!    … Expand

    A great horror graphic adventure. Its like a movie that runs 6 to 8 hours, you have eight characters and with your decisions some live and some die. Its a lot like Heavy Rain, not as good, but it has a great story and impressive graphics. Its better than Beyond 2 souls, so if you like that, this is way better.

    I’m gonna get this out of the way. Until Dawn is very fun to play. It may have its flaws, but I can’t stop enjoying myself from playing it. Here’s the best part, I hate horror movies so bad because I don’t like the scare factor or jump scares that are plenty for the horror junkies (medical reasons. Cough). And here I am, laughing like an idiot when those moments happen.

    A year    I’m gonna get this out of the way. Until Dawn is very fun to play. It may have its flaws, but I can’t stop enjoying myself from playing it. Here’s the best part, I hate horror movies so bad because I don’t like the scare factor or jump scares that are plenty for the horror junkies (medical reasons. Cough). And here I am, laughing like an idiot when those moments happen.

    A year after the disappearance of twin sisters at a mysterious cabin on the hill, 8 high school students get back together for a reunion at the request of Josh, the brother of the twins. Upon their arrival, weird things begin happening to them and it’s up to you as the player to try and get all 8 of them alive (it’s possible). Or not.

    The game’s basic premise is to give you the director’s seat of a B movie grade horror slasher flick. Complete with corny cheesy lines that you can expect from those kind of movies. Based on what you do with all 8 characters, they live or die, despite how they will emerge at the end of the game.

    Why I find this game so fun is how great it feels to be in the directors seat. You have total control of who lives and who dies. In words, this won’t feel much. But this power is best demonstrated in a room full of people showing them how you want the fates of the characters to be like. Hate Jessica as much as I do? Let her get abducted and then walk as slowly as you can to try and save her. The same concept can be applied to other characters as well like, leading them to weird kind of areas that are bound to give you something to be afraid of.

    And boy the jump scares are funny.

    The game employs common jump scares that you can expect. And when they do happen, I can’t believe how I feel rewarded for guessing them right. In fact, characters that I have invested in that I want them dead in specific moments, feels satisfying as heck! I agree it’s psychotic that I want these people to live or die, but that’s the beauty of the directors seat!

    Another interesting option in the game is that it wants to know what you are scared off. Based on what are you afraid of, the game will change its surrounding and effects based on what you have chosen. If you are afraid of gore, there will be tons of blood and guts ready to be spilled. But if say you hate needles, it will keep showing u pointy objects. It’s a very nice feat in my opinion and slightly enhances the fear factor. The much talked about “Butterfly Effect” is a good way of branching storylines that depending on the choices you make, changes how the ending of the character can be (whether lives or dies, with cloth or not). This may take some of the thrill of not being able to back track in the game away, but makes every choice a lot more of interesting to decide on.

    Technically, I can’t avoid complaining about the frame rate. This game is gorgeous, but the frame rate dips are a bother. In fact, there are moments in the game that i felt could have been improved, like shorter explorations that gets me to the next scene. Walking faster doesn’t seem that fast either. Controls, whether motion or stick based, could use more polish as well. Animations are… a hit and miss. Sometimes, the motion capture is good. Other times, they look like they were made in the 90s. Some facial expressions are even scarier than the jump scares!

    It’s weird for me to say that this is a great party game for you to play. But when I was younger, I remember being a part of Resident Evil 2 playthrough party, and the screams coming from everyone were euphoric. Until Dawn has been successful in giving me that good old feeling of a good horror game, despite its immediate flaws. Remember, play with a room full of people, lights off, and let the fun filled horror begin!    … Expand

    Until Dawn may not be the perfect game but I was entertained during the experience along with great graphics and a slightly compelling story. I say slightly because the entire story didn't have my full attention and some characters became overrated or overused. But none the less, Until Dawn was a great game and very enjoyable.

    Something different with a good story and graphics (nice to recognize some actors). The only one disadvantage is that you can't mit the long videos, so if you want to reply it just for trophies or different endings you may give up soon.

Needless to say, this game takes real cheesy horror movie stereotypes, and makes it a very tolerable, and incredible game. Until Dawn is best release in the horror game genre, in a long time. Until Dawn makes you take many decisions throughout the gameplay experience with a system called "Butterfly Effect". Once you make a decision, it's set in stone. All of your decisions effect the gameplay, and coming from an avid gamer like myself, I love this feature more than anything. It makes you stop and think about the future consequences of each decision. Your choices impact the lives of all 8 teenagers, and it's up to you to keep them alive 'Until Dawn'. Great game, worth getting for sure.… Expand

    If you enjoy pick-your-own adventures and games that play like interactive movies (Heavy Rain, The Last of Us) then this game is definitely entertaining. This is an intriguing sort of horror thriller that is super fun to play and to watch. (I had company each time I played and they really enjoyed watching.) The storyline is a tad generic but there is enough going on that it will keep you entertained, especially with the matrix of effects based on different choices made by different characters at certain points.

    This game doesn't have a lot of action control because it's not supposed to be high action game. Actions are going to be walking, interacting with things, and performing controls under duress.

    If you're the kind of person who uses walkthroughs and does everything flawless the first time, this game will not have much replay value. If you're the kind of person who is okay with going back to certain chapters to do different parts over, this should be entertaining for a little while.

    DEFINITELY worth playing, but not worth paying $60 to own. I'd recommend buying used, renting, or borrowing it.    … Expand

    The game follows eight teens in a chalet in the mountains after an accident that happened there last year. The game takes a lot time in the first couple of chapters to establish their roles and personalities, up until the point where it gets a bit redundant. This is about the only major complaint that I have with this game right next to the other minor issue this game has; some characters have "plot protection".

    But once the developers take the brakes off, it's on. Non-stop tension and mindgames being played on the gamer. You can live your slasher dream and dispose of the teens one by one, or try your best to keep them all alive for the happy ending. Either way you go, the game doesn't fail to entertain.

    The production values are top notch. Graphics look amazing. The actors were on the money with their roles and were extremely believable. E.g. the character everyone hates, but outshines them all, Emily.

    Until Dawn might not be a gamers game, but I won't deny that a had a fun time with it. It's a fun slasher that will go down in the books as one of the PS4's pleasant surprises.    … Expand

On top of this, the game features eight young adults averaging around the age of 18 who are the perfect amount of stereotypical and are made all the more interesting with great actors to provide the voices. Stars Hayden Panitierre, Rami Malek and Brett Dalton play three major characters with a lot of dialogue. I was particularly impressed with these three performances, but also Jordan Fisher's portrayal of Matt and Meaghan Martin's portrayal of Jess. However, the entire cast gives an impressive performance and successfully brings the script to life. With an appropriate build-up and randomized pacing, this game gets bonus points for simply being the first game to give me this type of experience. I haven't done much research but I know the developers were not very well known before this project and had very little experience in game making. It seems like they gave it their all in the department of making this game unique. I only hope that the success of this game allows the development team to learn and improve upon the content of Until Dawn to create some type of sequel or follow up to the title.… Expand

    OK. Until Dawn, is a good game. With some "ifs" sprinkled in there. It's a good game if you like story, (however disjointed at times it may feel), it's also a good game if you like beautiful graphics and pretty good mo-cap.

    It is not a good game if you value gameplay. This is an artistic piece through and through. I played it and don't regret it one bit. I won't however, be playing it again.

    The game starts at a pretty decent pace and without spoilers, will dig it's meaty claws into your shoulder and will not let go. It's full of horror tropes you've come to know and love, (people going alone, things that go bump etc...). For the most part you may not care about the characters as much as you led to believe by the butterfly effect system. I saved 4 people on my playthrough, but knew I was damning a few and didn't really care. I wanted to see it finished.

    The first half of the game is where it's strongest. You have no idea of what is going on and it makes for some tense creepy moments. It borrows heavily from various horror franchises, but yet seems to be it's own. In between each episode you see a piece with Peter Stormare, that is pretty well done. It's beautiful and it works well.

    The failing begins during the second half of the game. At this point, the plot, (again without spoilers), takes a heavy turn and it's not for the best. Imagine watching a slasher flick that suddenly becomes a supernatural romp and you get the idea. It almost felt as if the writers had painted themselves into a literary corner and now were looking for an out.

    For those who say all it is, is QTE; it isn't. But it does rely heavily on the QTE button presses for some of it's scenes. The problem here is that failing some of these QTE doesn't always end badly. For a game that has no compunction with death, it seems a little out of place. Sometimes the failing of the QTE can actually be helpful.

    The sound design in this game is a definite strength. For jump scares, use headphones. You won't regret this part at all. The character designs are well done and the Mo-cap is really well implemented...to a point.

    Some of the animations when the characters are talking seem really wire-framed and limited in motion. There is little in the way of true gameplay here. You walk, you look at shiny objects, you pick things up and you QTE certain areas. That's about the gist of it.

    One major gripe is how the camera can shift when you are walking in one direction. Effectively this can change the direction you need to press to be able to continue in the same direction. It's reminiscent of Resident Evil in that way.

    There are multiple endings in the game, which can be altered via the butterfly effect. Admittedly I only played through once, but I have no desire to go through the game again. Yet somehow, I doubt the game itself up until the end point changes very much, which is a shame. It would be nice to see that if Character A dies and I let Character B live that the game is very altered. All in all though the butterfly effect just doesn't seem to have wings. It's just a caterpillar still on the ground.

    So if you are looking for a game heavy with story, this may be for you.
    You want a roughly 7-9 hour long interactive movie, pick it up, but I'd wait until it is down to the $20 mark if I were to be honest. I paid $40 and it still felt like too much.

    I gave it an 8, because for what it is and what it tried to do, I thought 7 was too low. If I could even though some people don't like half marks, I would give this game a 7.5    … Expand

    The script kept me entertained and feeling like my decisions mattered throughout my 10-hour playthrough. Thanks to some good twists, a few fake-outs, and limitless jump scares, Until Dawn would make a solid horror film.

You may do your best to let them live or you may want to kill them all if you feel like it. You may also make the nicest character of them to be a murderer and so on. Its interactivity and your decision affects everything in the world of Until Dawn. A problem with these though is the fact that its not that scary, sure it has some jumpscares but its just a few and never really gave me a horror experience i want to feel in a horror game. A score of 7/10 imo in this aspect.

    Sound - Well, this is one of my main factors in a horror game. The timing of its sounds, sudden loud noises, etc. which affects the instensity of a horror game. In relation with the game, Its sound are ok and also well-placed in the game. Tbh, im had more jumpscares in my headphones than the actual game though, so it did a nice job atleast. A score of 8/10 deserves this aspect.

    Graphics - Now in relation of environments...ITS GREAT, the mist, the forest, the darkness, everything in the environment really feels creepy and gives you that scary and reluctance to even want to experience it. As to the characters, They all look realistic with the developers doing a good job in capturing their facial expression movement, everything. However, my main problem is its cutscenes which tends to lose its frame rate more often and some cutscene delays its unnerving considering it is a game/horror films which most of the time you are watching. A score of 8/10 for these.

    Total Average = 7.6

    Well, i can see the developers really tried their best in making this game. Its not perfect, but its far from being a dissapointment. They did a good job of hiring a renowned indie horror director to put life into the game and got real actors to perform their characters both in voice and motion which puts realism in the game. The gore are damn cringy and would not recommend eating while playing these game. A good, short but satisfying experience overall.    … Expand

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.

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 my first PS4 games, and boy did I get hooked. Some great acting and memorable moments. I would like to see more games following this formula. I felt like most of the decision REALLY mattered to the outcome of the game. There is a great combination of thinking quick and thinking ahead.

    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.

    UNTIL DAWN is interaktywna game. QTE but not as interesting and raznoobraznye like in Heavy Rain. The characters sometimes look scary and unnatural. 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

    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.

    For a game that basically threw every horror trope imaginable at the wall and hoped it would stick, I found the experience overall to be enjoyable. I didn't find all the characters all that interesting but the story in general kept me engaged. A bit late to this party due to an immense gaming backlog, I'd say it's one of the better adventure games Ive played over the last year.

    If you expect a usual horror survival game then this might not be for you. Until Dawn is more of an interactive movie with lots of QTE. You also can roam around free during certain parts to find notes and stuff. The athmosphere is thrilling. The story is pretty cool and the plot twist is amazing. The graphics are good aswell and you might notice one or two familiar faces.

    В Until dawn сюжет к сожалению также линеен, игра строго ведёт тебя по одним и тем ж локациям и ключевым событиям, но есть один мощный козырь - это персонажи, жизнь которых действительно зависит от решений, скорости мышления и ловкости игрока. До 2015 года так в этом жанре не делал никто.

    До финальной локации стопроцентно могут дойти только 2 персонажа, за остальные жизни нужно в прямом смысле бороться, причём игра требовательна не только к ловкости игрока (здешний QTE без преувеличения беспощаден), но и к интеллекту и внимательности. Я увидел как минимум 3 эпизода, в которых принятое решение приводило к рандомным на первый взгляд результатам, но при детальном рассмотрении выяснялось, что игра давала неочевидные подсказки, или они попадались в прошлом, в книгах или записках. И даже когда кажется, что игра тебя откровенно троллит, это не так, она действует логично и в строго написанных правилах, которые карают тебя за невнимательность и секундную расслабленность.

    After almost 8 hours, the horror trip is over. A charmingly trashy horror run-through with a few decisions that unfortunately didn't lead to a "No Death Run" for me.

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

    A mi personalmente que gustan muchisimo los juegos en donde vas tomando decisiones, este es un juego de esos en donde cada desicion por las pequeña que sea, puede acabar con la vida de los personajes asi que hay que prestar muchisima atencion.

    La historia me encanto, muy buena narrativa, tiene demasiadas cosas que te sorprenden, los personajes son muy buenos, me hubiera gustado que la historia sea mas larga para poder empatizar mas con los personajes, de poder connocerlos mas en profundidad. Lo que no me gusto es que al principio del juego es que te los presenta a todos juntos y te olvidas de los nombres y de la cara de ellos, estaria bueno que tuviera en el menu una seccion con los personajes para luego poder recordarlos sin problema.

    Otra cosa que no me gusto es el rendimiento, yo lo jugue en la PS4 fat y por lo que investigue en la PS4 Pro ocurre lo mismo y es el framerate que tiene, es super bajo, va como a 20 25 fps de promedio y se notan muchisimo, sabiendo que es un juego que graficamente no es muy pesado, una pena, por suerte en PS5 si se mantiene a unos 60 fps estables.

    Las expresiones faciales y los movimientos que tienen los personajes son muy muy buenos.

    El juego es demasiado corto, toda la historia transcurre en una sola noche pero la duracion del juego no son mas de 8 horas, tiene muchos sustos pero luego pasando mas de la mitad del juego ya se vuelven predesibles.    … 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.

    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]
