    I was reluctant at first due to reviews, but this turned out to be quite entertaining. I love the story and the scariness definitely keeps you on your toes.

    Excelente, tenia pensado darle un 8 o 9, pero sinceramente no se me ocurrio una sola cosa negativa de este juego.
    Logro todo lo que un videojuego tendria que hacer, divertido, totalmente atrapante, con mucha innovacion, y esto ultimo lo logra aunque la historia sea nada mas que todos los cliches de una pelicula de terror, juntos en un solo guion.

This game was pretty damn good, I really enoyed the 7-8 hour first time playthrough and would expect many more days of play seeing all the different paths in the game. Filled with good actors using face capture technology which was incredible to see, the whole game was interesting from beginning to end and the visuals were impressive. Peter Stormare was fantastically odd as always.

    The story hooks you in and there's no boring bits as it switches between the groups of friends often creating some tense viewing!

Until Dawn is a great game with amazing look, photorealist sometimes, is a confortable and terrorifing form of play a classic movie of B series. Quantic dream must play this game and learn.

    Of recent I have enjoyed Life is Strange and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture - two games of which use an extensive narrative viewpoint in their own unique ways, coupled with varied elements of gameplay to stunning effect.

It has been up to this point that I have wondered how would it turn out if such stunning effect were applied to a game in the horror genre (Life is Strange is largely fantasy, and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is largely science fiction)? Until Dawn answers this question.

    In the game you follow a story that is pure classic horror, recalling such masters as Wes Craven, John Carpenter, Sean Cunningham, George A Romero and many more. The story sprawls between a number of main plot threads with you controlling a series of characters and partaking in decisions to situations that may not only have immediate ramifications, but may and will alter the outcome of the game as a total. Control of the characters is kept to a strict limit, with them effectively being a 'cursor' or 'guide' in the gameplay segments, solving simple puzzles and being involved in action sequences that use quicktime events.

    The presentation is outright stunning, the graphics detailing amazing facial reactions to the characters - a lot of the game is spent in conversation and if the graphics were not up to the task, it honestly would have suffered. Also of note are the lighting effects and the improvised 'camerawork' to action sequence and tense moments - someone's clearly done their homework and it shows, for this not only reveals an understanding of the horror genre, but in how movies work. If anything does suffer, its the occasional framerate stutter or slip, and its a (very) minor slip.

    Sound also excels with a stellar arrangement that whilst not providing any signature melodies, piles on the tension and pressure when it needs to. The voice acting is of a really high standard, and there's only an occasional bad dialogue (this is extremely rare).

    The gameplay has to rely on a combination of good plot and enough involvement to keep the player going, and thankfully it more than gives in this area. The plot sprawls and never fails to enthrall, whilst the execution of tense and action moments is beautifully executed. Then there's the added fact that the choices you make in the gameplay affect the game greatly - I'm on my second playthrough currently, and honestly there are a HUGE amount of differences in the plot.

    This of course will come down to your enjoyment of the genre, and how the game plays-out (it is effectively an interactive movie). For me, I loved the sheer offset nature of the whole game. On one hand, I am being led on a path in which I make choices to affect future actions, but on the other hand I am presented with a wide range of choices I have to make in order to try and keep everyone alive - and that also includes how I react and perform when I am asked to, with no exceptions if I get it wrong.

    A superb game that may not appeal to action junkies, but for veteran horror fans and anyone who enjoys the 'interactive movie' style of game, this is definately for you.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Awesome game every horror movie fan should play. It start as Cabin in the woods style, continue with elements of Saw and finish inspired with Descent movies. There is a lot of influence with good horror titles which only fan would understand. Story is good and player have influence in story progress. Little bad is that there is not a lot of puzzles but Telltale started with that kind of games which obviously people like. Personally, I would like gameplay more like Heavy rain, but even like this game is awesome horror fan experience for few playthroughs.… Expand

    For me the game got even better in the second half, it went away from those earlier cheap jump scares once the real threat was revealed and took on a different tone, the last few chapters felt like an episode of Supernatural, early Supernatural's monster of the week stories, I loved that.

    Going back to the second half of the game, the first and 2nd half of the game do feel like different games but I feel that's something that should be in the plus column and not a negative, the first half was a great misdirect, something that's lacking in games and movies of this genre these days.

    I know it's all subjective and everybody has their own opinion but I just thought I'd share mine, This game is getting mostly positive reviews but I still feel even in those reviews it's being undersold, for me it's a 9.5 but for this scale based on my enjoyment i'll give it a 10 on this scale since you can't (.5) anything.    … Expand

    In my opinion the story is a really good one. It might appear cheesy and full of cliches but the storytwist later in the game was rather surprising - at least for me. The atmosphere in this game was intense and it wont let go once the chaos starts. Until Dawn was a terrifying experience and i enjoyed every minute of it.

    Amazing how detailed the graphics were. The story line is classic horror film with nods to Friday, Nightmare, Bloody Valentine, Saw, Psycho, and many more! And the them song, O'Death fits it so well and really spoils it if you pay attention to the lyrics.

    The twists are good, and really you have two separate horror films in one game. The first half I could totally see as a Hollywood movie(Small budget type ala Paranormal and first couple of Saws)

    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.

This is seriously one of the best games I have ever played and I'm not even a fan of anything horror or torture related in the slightest.

    This game is one of the reasons i purchased my ps4. Playing through it again in 2021 on my ps5 @60fps and its still fantastic. It really is a once in a decade high quality story experience. The cast and storytelling are so well brought to life by the game engine, it really gets you hooked. The fact it is in the horror genre is a bonus! A must play 'point and click' style horror game.

    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.

    How the narrative changes with your actions, well its probably the best and most noticeable in any game bar maybe Walking Dead Season 1.
    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

    A Psychological Horror
    Until Dawn starts out with a prank gone wrong..
    A girl has a crush and the other teens at this cabin party use this crush to prank her for a video.
    She’s about to take her shirt off, and surprise, humiliation...
    She runs off and her sister chases after her...
    But then something chases after them
    the girls die…
    On the anniversary of the twin’s death, their brother josh invites everyone back for their annual getaway
    the teens eventually all split to go do their own thing...
    Take a relaxing bath, head to a cabin with your promiscuous girlfriend
    and then things start to get weird as you’ll notice subtle cues that maybe someone is watching you...
    This games plays with the idea of the butterfly effect...
    Every single choice you make can unknowingly at times set you on the path to save a character or kill them
    the game starts with 8 characters.
    Any of the 8 can individually or collectively live as well as die…
    Their fate is in your hands during a lot of times a split second decision, and you won’t know which decision leads to what outcome until it’s too late.
    You also have the choice to do nothing when an opportunity to throw or shoot something presents itself...
    Any of these things could change the balance…
    The simple mistake of using an item in a situation instead of holding onto it for later could seal your characters fate, as you control all 8 of them, hopping around the story…
    There is a bit of a mystery here as you’ll eventually come across totems that show you the fate of certain characters, or even a guidance clue to help them survive, as well as pictures and notes that will slowly piece together the strange happenings…
    I had so much fun trying to piece things together…
    Getting attached and annoyed with characters, but even as annoyed with some as I was... I didn’t want to really see any of them die…
    There was only one that I killed off on purpose when I knew that there was probably a chance they didn’t have to die…. But I did it anyway…
    And once I did it, that was it… there’s no going back... no restarting from checkpoints...
    There is no game over..
    You can’t change the past no matter how much you regret a decision..
    A reoccurring theme.
    every choice is significant and this is what makes until dawn such an amazing game.
    I did have some annoyances mechanically, as the exploration sections of the game would sometimes feel just a little too long, and the pacing was just a tad slow in these sections to keep the suspense of the story as high as it possibly could be…
    And this does take away from the experience, but not by much…
    This is still a must play for anyone who’s a fan of horror, mystery , or storytelling in general.

    Chilling, well acted and with a lot of jump scares. It's just like watching a scary '80s-'90s horror movie (very much an homage to classics such as Scream, Ravenous, Saw, or modern movies like The Cabin In The Woods), but you control the action, and this "movie" is over 8 hours long.

It's just like watching a scary '80s-'90s horror movie (very much an homage to classics such as Scream, Ravenous, Saw, or modern movies like The Cabin In The Woods), but you control the action, and this "movie" is over 8 hours long.

    The first few minutes really gets you emotionally involved in the plot, and while the reunion is a bit (a lot) forced, it works in terms of the scary movie genre that the game is paying homage to. The tension starts right away, and it does not let up for a moment. Even in quiet moments you're worried about what might be around the next corner. The game really gets the atmosphere right. Also, you care for each character, and while it's true that some of them are not wholly likable (in horror movie tradition, some are immature and they can be unkind, self-centered or unthinking), you really feel as if you want to get them all through the horror that is about to overtake them.

    The game controls are intuitive and effective, movement is smooth and unlike a few other games that have appeared recently, the characters move effortlessly from one place to another, without getting annoyingly caught up on furniture or architecture.

    The clues and collectibles in the game are very effective, and the in-game menus work well to help the player assess how well or poorly the game is going. During the action sequences, the player needs to make split-second decisions and controller inputs, and in my opinion (speaking as an older but experienced gamer) these are perfectly balanced to appeal to players of most abilities.

    The graphics are amazing, from the facial textures to the snowfall, lighting and shadows, this game really uses this latest generation of consoles to bring out detail and atmosphere. Music is very atmospheric and extremely well integrated well into the action.

    Replay value is wholly focused on survival, not on a branching plot. This is not a bad thing: while the overarching plot remains fixed, the fate of each character is very much decided by your actions and choices: any character or all of them can die. Conversely, any or all can be saved, but saving everyone is very hard: I only saved two of the eight characters the first time around (Sam and Emily). I'm looking forward to restarting in the hope that I can somehow get at least a few more people through "until dawn".

    The most innovative aspect of the game is what the developers call "The Butterfly Effect": a build-up of small, seemingly insignificant changes that may have devastating consequences down the line. This feature shows itself even in the first play through, as an in-game menu screen tells you which decisions you've made and gives subtle hints as to how you're doing. It's not just the illusion of choice - if you mess up too often, people's allegiances change and their options may narrow, making it harder for them to survive. Sometimes, a small mistake will be recoverable, but the mistakes do mount up, and sometimes the choices made leave no way out. At the game's end the sun rises, but who will be there to see it is up to you.

    My only criticisms so far (all are very minor):
    1: The camera sometimes doesn't feel as if it's showing enough of the scenes, and it can make movement tricky in darker areas, but then again, that may be a conscious decision because of the need for a survival horror game to be claustrophobic.
    2: The scenes with the psychiatrist take the player out of the action to some extent, but on the other hand, they do offer the player a break in what might otherwise be a very tense game, at least until later on, when even these scenes acquire some tension.
    3: There is some very minor image freezing that lasts a split second, usually when performing an action (I think I noticed three examples throughout the whole game).
    4: The voices are occasionally slightly out of sync with the characters' mouth movements (again, I noticed this maybe three times).
    5: The characters' heads seem kinda wobbly at some points (whenever it's a close-up and two or more characters are close to each other and talking). It's very subtle, but it is noticeable.
    6. There is no way to adjust the screen size in the game - on my TV it's still playable, but some items on the screen edges are clipped.
    7. I would have liked a little more humor to break the tension at some points - it's a very tense game (I think I mentioned that).
    8. The pre-order DLC is just a small inconsequential scene tacked on to the end of chapter 2. It's almost like a deleted scene in a movie and it kinda messes with the pacing. I was kind of expecting a little more.

    Altogether, I had a blast with this game, and I think a lot of other players will too, even if this type of game is not their usual fare. For me, this is not just one of the best survival horror games I've ever played, but if it were a movie, I'd say it would be the best horror movie since The Cabin in the Woods. Yeah, it's that good. I will be very surprised if this game doesn't gather a few of the most prestigious Game of the Year awards.    … Expand

    The game has stunning visuals among the best ever seen in a video game and I was surprised of exactly how much variety the game has in exploration of some very beautiful areas you end up visiting based on your choices and decisions up to the point of seeing them.
    There are multiple routes and options for you to choose from and depending on your decisions entire cutscenes can change from big to small, I would like to point out I have steered clear of these point and click type games I never played the Walking deads or the Heavy rains so I went in unsure what to expect and cannot comment on how it compares to those games but my drive to save certain charcters after making mistakes and a furious sitting which I forced myself to stop at near 2:00am not because the game was finished but because I needed to get some sleep only to lay wondering if I did certain things different how it woul play out and if I could save characters clearly shouted to me this game was something special.
    In terms of the gameplay you may of been put off by E3 Footage in thinking it has very little to offer other then QTEs and talking but I can safely say you would be wrong the gameplay does a phenomenal job of immersing you into the feeling of doom as in it can put you in a situation where you have but a few seconds to make a call or you are dead unlike other games that character is gone for good which really adds to the horror aspect another cool feature it has is having to hold the Dual shock still in order to hide or remain calm the crazy thing about this is the controller will vibrate like crazy causing you to grip and inhale until the scene is played out it really is vital I found when I didn't hold my breath I would be caught and killed I find this really does create so much more tension and give the game a powerful punch.
    The games also has a pretty damn good story with some interesting plot twists you didn't see coming but if you came across some of the clues in the game just as the protagonist pieces the clues together you find yourself shocked at how well everything had fitted together up till the very end and trust me at the very end you will be left feeling stunned at how you missed the signs and clues.
    The voice acting is also great off course you have Hayden the big hollywood star but other voice actors are also top notch some more so then others but regardless some very solid work from the team you will be surprised how much you end up liking a few of the characters and hating others which on first look you may of looked at as just another generic Horror stereotype stats can increase or decrease depending on decisions the once caring character may by the end become a heartless selfish scumbag or the character you thought as annoying and spiteful may become a heroic likeable member of the team it is all up to you.
    The game is VERY polished I have played many games at launch throughout my life ever since the 7th gen game quality has usual been noticeably bad at launch compared to a week to a month later but this game I came across just the one glitch throughout my two playthroughs and the glitch was only a character going through a piece of wood during a cutscene,The game runs steady with no noticeable framerate drops and there wasn't anything that looked out of place in comparison to other pieces in the environment the textures looked amazing throughout the character animations and deaths looked very realistic and the attention to detail was rock solid.
    At the time of this release we have MGS5,Fifa and Madmax all coming in a matter of days but I am advising you if you cannot afford to spend on multiple titles pick up Until Dawn first I have played countless games this year that failed to keep my attention I do believe Quality is sometimes better then quantity and Until Dawns Quality is above the majority's all though the games story is roughly 9-10 hours you WILL be replaying this game you will want to see characters you saw die survive and characters you saw survive die yes you could look it up on youtube but you owe it to yourself to attempt to do so yourself and to see exactly how much impact small decisions you made the first time around shape the story on the second play through.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A great horror movie and game, one that got under my skin in a way Outlast and Amnesia, or even SOMA, could not. Not to be nitpicky, but after going through a game with terrific character development and twists and turns, plus ambiguous conclusions that ask you to make judgments (internally) on the measure of a person, you may miss some of the details that would have you scratching head throughout the game.

    For example, the mansion where the plot begins and ends is built in the shadow of a sanitarium and mine. On the way to the mansion you pass kiosks with signage that looks like you're entering a national park. Who in their right mind issued the permits for the mansion to be built? How does the damn thing have a pipe drainage system and modern water systems in an area that was recently closed, and which probably hasn't had the time to be properly ecologically restored. Who would drink piped water from the local water stream, for christ's sake that damn thing is probably full of tailings and leached metals from the mine. What're they thinking building a damn mansion there?

    Moreover, when we find out about the Wendigo, are you telling me that for the whole year, year and a half of construction (if not more due to its remoteness) that no construction member ever saw, much less be attacked by the Wendigo? Or see Flamethrower Guy attack one? And nobody check out the Sanitarium and see any of the Wendigos? Or that the construction were diligent about getting off site by sundown in a construction site that means that either a.) they got in a gondola for a good long trip to the mountain, which at most could seat 12 at a time, everyday for work or b.) lived on site to cut down on the distance. BTW, when they were setting up building materials for the mansion, not a single Wendigo attack, at all? I'm beginning to think these Wendigos are highly particular, bet none of the construction crew was hot enough for these hell beasts.

    Still, if you can look past the OBVIOUS lapse in building permitting, the fact that the government allowed a mansion on national park land, that the homeowner does not care about his kids as utilizing water systems would probably do irreparable harm to their health mental and physical, the very particular foraging behavior of the Wendigos, you will have yourself a good time.    … Expand

    Awesome game!

    It is something different I have ever played before!
    Characters are very unique, story is pretty good, jump scares are real.
    Atmosphere feels like watching a horror movie and a lot of horror movies that are published these years fail to scare You but this game is doing a great job at scaring You and keeping You wanting to explore everything!

    The horror genre is probably the best for this style of game. It beats Telltale and Quantum Dreams games by far in entertaining me, which is obviously a very subjective statement and i like horror movies.

Ever thought about teenagers making the wrong decisions in a slasher movie? Find out if you were right! The characters will seem cliché or stupid at start, but you will forget this fast and grow fond of them fast, which is based on good performances, good actors and the devs talent in knowing their tools of psychological manipulation. SPOILER AHEAD - The one and only problem was myself not having any big connection to american native indians mythical or ghost stories, they fail to impress me much. Though i understand the writers choice to lay traps and try to lead you on a wrong path. Anyway, great game and also a new standard. When this game showed it's first trailers i was sure this would fail and i was very very wrong!… Expand

    Amazing!!!! I hadn't expected such a great game and for me it's one of the best this year for now. This game has something many other blockbusters doesn't have, amazing ambiance. What is unique is fanatastic plot, characters, music themes and finally adequate LENGTH ( lesson for the Order 1886)!!! Perfect!! I'm really looking forward to other games from this studio/team.

    Very good game. I was very impressed. The "butterfly effect" system is out of this world, and the story had some interesting twists too.
    I am definitely going to be doing at least a second playthrough of this game. It runs smoothly and it's just an overall incredible game. If you like anything at all by TellTale games, you'll LOVE Until Dawn!!

    Yes, Until Dawn is different. It is not the typical survival horror game you would expect but that makes it so awesome. The story is kind of cliché but implementing has been done very well. Impressive visuals and great character traits makes it unique. Buy it, start playing it completely unbiased and you and your friends will have a great experience!

    This game was awesome! No criticism from me - the story, gameplay, graphics, mechanics, acting, suspense - everything rocked! It was like playing a series - it even recapped what happened in the previous chapters. I also love how it recorded your reaction via the camera in the scary scenes. Well done to the development team of this game!

    the game is a great thrill, very reminiscent of classic suspense and terror of the 80's and 90's ony has been investing in new games and different franchises, with varieties in the segment. until down shows that style games to Hervy rain and Beyondo two souls can still be fun and innovated.

    PROS:
    Simply amazing. The graphics are phenomenal and the gore and horror is brilliant. The actual game is not about what you think. Also the butterfly effect is fantastic.
    CONS: Dr Hill I just don't understand his role?

    Have you ever been watching a movie that was so exciting that you wish it was several hours long? Well here ya go. Have you ever watched a cheesy horror movie and yelled at the tv when the stupid teenagers want to go explore the noise that they heard? Do you think that you would have done things differently if you were in their shoes? Well... go for it.

    Throughout the game, players will make difficult decisions during ethical or moral dilemmas, such as sacrificing one character to save another The Butterfly Effect system blurs the line between right and wrong decisions and it is possible for players to keep all eight characters alive as well as having all eight of them die>>>>

    Great graphics, very atmospheric, and full of tension and jumps. Found it hard to put down controller, was so engrossed i even forgot to blink! Very clever storyline, Will definitely be playing it a few times with different choices to see outcomes. Forget horror movies, you finally get to make those choices you’re always shouting at the tv to do!

    Hilarious how some people still are misunderstanding this game totally, they must be young. It is 100% supposed to be cheesy and stupid and doesnt take itself seriously for 5 cents. It is a pure homage to old horror movies and for us fans of the genre this is the best thing ever. The game itself is MINDBLOWING. Thanks and bye.

Dont be tricked by them, without them with only real ratings we would be 9.5/10 or something. For a score personally? I just say this is the best game in 10 years...

    When eight friends become trapped on a remote mountain getaway gone wrong, things quickly turn sinister and they start to suspect they aren’t alone. Gripped by fear and with tensions in the group running high, you’ll be forced to make snap decisions that could mean life or death for everyone involved.

Having said that, the music score, environments, and overall atmosphere the story creates is wonderful. Visually, this game gorgeous and truly adds to the overall experience. Perhaps a really cool feature about this game is how they implemented the Dual-Shock controller for certain things. If you enjoy horror movies, B-horror, comedy, suspense, drama, and some twists in a good story, give this game a tray. I truly think it is very enjoyable and fun all the while scaring you at random times. Very well done and possibly the best sleeper hit in the past 6 months.… Expand

    An extremely enjoyable and original take on the genre. Choices matter, and it puts you into a state of fear wanting to keep all the characters alive. Only possible negative is a few frame drops here and there, anything else negative is simply personal taste or trolling. This game is art.

    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]
