    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.

    This is definitely one of the better games out for the PS4. If you like Heavy Rain style games and like slasher horror style setting and story, this game doesn't disappoint. It's just a good game. I will be playing it some more to see what I could have done better.

    there is only one thing i hate about this game it's the story. and with a game like until dawn that bad. the game was promoted as a game where a group of friends are stalked by a serial killer, but the game is not like that at all! the "killer" is their friend playing a prank and doesn't kill anyone. the really villains are generic supernatural monsters. if the game was just promoted as such i wouldn't be so angry.    … Expand

    This is another great exclusive for the playstation 4, with a mix of Resident Evil and Heavy Rain this throwback to the days of movies like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer does a great job of capturing that vibe. Graphically it is one of the best showcases on PS4. It's not going to be for everyone but personally I like it a lot. 8/10

    I applauded UD for not trying to hide what it is and not trying to be more than that. It's entertaining and made me want to keep playing. It's a relatively simple game to play but how a game makes you feel is more important imho. Even my gf asked me to play it (with the light on)... do you know how many times she's asked me to play a game? It's not many times I can tell you. I'd say if you don't mind slower paced, story based games and like horror/suspense then you should definitely pick this up. It's different and production values alone are worth it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Really good game, the first 80% was just perfect in terms of atmosphere, game-play, and story-line my boyfriend and I honestly couldn't get enough. Loved the depth of choice, the interesting characters, the interloping plot. Was constantly kept on my toes and was genuinely scared at certain points. The butterfly effect and involving the players fears was such a great concept that worked so well, when your characters can die from the wrong mistake then the story-line and your involvement mean 100% more than they did in a normal console game.
    Though, unfortunately, the game wasn't amazing as I thought it would be. (BEGIN SPOILER) the involvement of the supernatural element to the game just lost things for me - it just felt like such a cop out in terms of explaining the mysterious and complex plot. A real life killer is just so much more of a threat/fear than a spooky mine demon. As soon as that plot point was shown I even found the game to stop being scary. Went from screaming my head off at jump scares and saw-like scenes to not caring about the plot and shrugging when a "scary" demon popped out. (END SPOILER) Was just super disappointed with the main plot-point of the game. If they'd gone with a better ending would have definitely given this a 10/10, and it would have gone down as one of my favourite video games, unfortunately that wasn't the case.

    Again, worth the buy just due to how amazing the first 80% is, the replay-ability, the graphics/characters/music/etc. but just a bit a disappointing plot-twist and ending. Could have been amazing but I think it missed the mark, unfortunately.    … Expand

    It's really really enjoyable, and that's what a game should be. truth be told the acting is a lot better than most horror movies, especially hayden panetere and the swedish guy who played doctor hill. It's one of the best interactive games I've ever played and I've played most of them.

    One of 2015's surprises for me. I loved every second of this game. The story is cheesy, yes, and takes inspiration from many movies like "Psycho", "The Descent", "SAW" and others from the horror genre. The 8 characters are as stereotypical as you could imagine (the geek, the jock, the princess...) and the plot - even though it does have some nice twists - is incredibly predictable.

The 8 characters are as stereotypical as you could imagine (the geek, the jock, the princess...) and the plot - even though it does have some nice twists - is incredibly predictable.

    All that being said, I would like to talk about what matters: does "Until Dawn" delivers? Yes, 100% yes. Similar to games like "Heavy Rain" and "Beyond 2 souls", "Until Dawn" is more of a cinematic experience than an actual game. You do control the characters, interact with objects and even get to fire some weapons, but it is more of a huge QTE experience. There is barely any exploration and the real meat is your judgment on basic decisions that can have drastic consequences. In the meantime, pressing correct buttons to keep everyone alive (or not, do whatever you want).

    I completed the game in a couple of days and, the moment I saw the credits rolling I decided to do it all again. I expected more drastic results to different decisions and was a bit frustrated to see that the events were not that different anyway. Also, no matter how many people you save, the ending won't change that much (hope this is not a spoiler). But this experience is worth every penny. A lot of fun and one of the best games I played this year.    … Expand

    Until Dawn embodies everything wrong with modern horror films, only in game form. The characters are unlikable slasher-bait and I spent the entire run rooting for them all to die (sadly, one character will ALWAYS survive--the absolute most unlikable one!) and spend the first two hours pulling slasher-movie-idiot pranks on one another.

A horror story doesn't work if you have nobody to root for, and so this one falls flat on its face, which is a serious problem, because story is ALL this game has going for it! Your interaction and gameplay is limited to walking around investigating the environment for "clues" and QTEs, Heavy Rain style. The choices you make, per usual for games like this, don't branch the plot nearly as much as advertised.

    The sound design is only passable, and the acting is pretty cheesy and annoying, not helped by the terrible writing. About the only thing this game has going for it is the graphics, which are fairly impressive for a PS4 game, but the Uncanny Valley character models and occasional half-assed textures undercut the game on that front as well. Plus the framerate is unsteady, a disappointment for people used to other Sony efforts like Uncharted which are much more polished by comparison.

    Bottom line, this game is over-hyped garbage, one of the worst turds to be produced by the "cinematic game" movement yet. The fact that it's reviewed so well just shows how bad gaming "journalism" and people's taste in horror games have become. It's not a good horror game, it's not a good story, and it's just plain not good. If you have some friends who are willing to chip in for a cheap copy and riff it with you, that's the only time I would recommend buying it, and even that's a hesitant recommendation.    … Expand

Es gibt keine zweite Chance, keine Checkpoints und kein Neuladen von Speicherständen wie auch im echten Leben.

    I've been playing the game for about three hours now and I've sincerely been enjoying the heck out of it. It's reminiscent of the many Telltale games, and maybe a little bit Heavy Rain, insofar as the gameplay is a bit secondary to the story. If you are not a fan of those games or the interactive story genre, I might recommend skipping this one.

If you are not a fan of those games or the interactive story genre, I might recommend skipping this one. Otherwise, if you're a big fan of that noise, you'll be as pleased as I am.

    I have only a few minor criticisms. First is the sound design. While the atmosphere and the music and ambient noise are all spot on, all the dialogue sounds like it's been recorded with an iPhone, all tinny and far away. Whether or not this is intentional (to maybe conjure feelings about old slasher films or to force you to turn the volume way up so as to be more startled by jump scares) is beside the point, as I found it difficult to hear what the characters were saying. I would have preferred to play the game without subtitles but had little choice.

    The other big issue is the character control. As I'm sure many others have pointed out, controlling the character was a bit difficult due to the fixed camera being switched about on its own. While I understand that they are strategically placing the camera as they would in a film (which is something I actually quite like) it made reorienting the character a little less fluid after each camera change. This in turn affects where your character points their flashlight/phone, which was never quite where I meant to point it. I also VASTLY prefer an inverted Y-axis, and this game gave you no option to adjust this.

    Besides these few criticisms, the game is stellar. It's gorgeous, well acted, exciting, and infuriating; I've found myself yelling at the dumb teenagers BEGGING them not to do the stupid thing they're about to do. Play with a friend so you don't scream by yourself!    … Expand

I knew there would probably be the option to go through each chapter again individually, so I could change some things, or pick up clues I'd missed the first time round.
    But the maddeningly slow pace in many parts, and the frustrating inability to turn back to grab clues during the story, diminished my investment in the game to the point where I just didn't care any more.

    Let me expand on that a bit...
    Too many times, you're walking around wishing you could get a better camera angle on a scene, plodding along (often in almost complete darkness). Then you cut to a new camera angle that really doesn't match the flow of the previous angle. So often I laughed out loud as my character seemingly did about-faces several times while i oriented the stick to the new flow of motion.
    And don't get me started on the stairs. *All* the stairs.
    Then there were the bright, glinty-spots that indicate an interaction point. These could be for examining something more closely, grabbing a clue, or performing some action from which you cannot return (i.e. dropping down or climbing up). While most of the time, the X indicated if this was one of the latter actions, sometimes it did not leading one to believe it was a clue. Then upon hitting X, you see your character drop down and realize...great! I can't go back to investigate any more in the previous section. Several times I missed clues that would have changed the story had I not inadvertently moved along the story line without realizing it.
    One could argue that this is part of the fun of the game; the uncertainty of chance and all that. For me, not so.

    So, now that it's over, I have the option to play all the episodes again, and pick up the few clues I missed and change the fate of some of the characters. But I won't.    … 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]
