    Klasik amerikan korku filmi havasında. Karakterlerin hemen hepsi mal. Oynanış olarak pek bir şey vaadetmiyor ama keyifli. Korku dozu yerinde.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Where the actors mainly followed very bad scrips in the first hours, it became more compelling later in the game. However, I never really sympathized with the characters.

    Until Dawn is the Resident Evil of the generation. The game is almost perfect but unfortunately the gameplay is very limited. If you enjoy movies and survival horror this is for you.

    Wow this game is amazing, this is a cinematic movie game done right.

    This game is around 10-15 hours long and has some problems, like I didn't find the Killer thing interesting and predictable but that's what it is suppose to be (I hope anyway), doesn't mean it isn't fun. I have an absolute blast loading this up and playing with a bunch of friends to see who will survive and die. Once    Wow this game is amazing, this is a cinematic movie game done right.

Once the murderer plot goes we get a lot more interesting villains which I won't spoil but I love them so much and I did my research later on them. This game has interesting lore with files scattered throughout the levels when you get to play yourself. Most of the characters are very likeable (apart from Emily) and I always wanted them to survive, I do wish though we got more time with Jessica. I was always invested to see what happens and it does have some surprised which will leave you interested in where the story goes. All the endings are in some way satisfying but my favorite thing is the credits if people survive it is interesting and should not be skipped.

    This is an underrated gem on the PS4 and is definitely a must buy for all horror fans of either movies or video games.    … Expand

    Until Dawn is a great game, good story with horror atmosphere. The game feels more like a interactive horror movie than a game and that works perfectly with many choices. Quick time events are handled very well and it's fun. I really enjoyed this game. Recommended.

    Reseña hecha por una persona muy miedosa

    JUGABILIDAD:
    El largo debate respecto de si este tipo de productos es un videojuego o una película interactiva. La respuesta corta: es un videojuego.

    La jugabilidad es una combinación de exploraciones cortas, Quick Time Events (algunos realmente muy rápidos) y, lo más importante, toma de decisiones. Esto último es lo más resaltable.

    El apartado de las decisiones funciona de forma excepcional gracias al sistema de Mariposa en el que todas nuestras decisiones impactan de forma directa a la historia. Yo nunca me había sentido tan responsable de los eventos que ocurren en un videojuego. En verdad funciona y en verdad divierte.
    Gracias a la inmersión del juego y a la personalidad tan delimitada de cada uno de los protagonistas, habrá decisiones de las que nos arrepentiremos al ver sus consecuencias, pero ya será tarde.

    Como punto negativo iba a decir la cámara.. pero al poco tiempo te acostumbras y entiendes que su propósito es, precisamente, lograr la inmersión de la que ya hablé.

    Respecto de la historia: ¡Es muy buena! Aunque puede sonar al típico cliché de película de los 90s se pone realmente interesante al poco tiempo. A lo largo del juego reunimos pistas de tres misterios diferentes (además de los Totem que nos dejan dar un vistazo al futuro) que se entrelazan por sí mismos. El juego usa tanto terror psicológico como screamers, y funciona bien, siempre querremos saber qué pasa a continuación.

    La sesiones con el psicólogo que aparece entre capítulos son de lo mejor del juego. Son muy espeluznantes e incrementa el nivel de misterio.

    GRÁFICOS Y SONIDO:
    A nivel audiovisual es sumamente sobresaliente. Los gráficos y animaciones son muy realistas, y todos los sonidos que podemos percibir a lo largo del juego son precisos y atrapantes. El juego consigue un nivel de inmersión muy alto gracias a los portentos visuales y sonoros.
    Recomiendo ampliamente jugarlo con audífonos.

    INNOVACIÓN:
    El sistema de Efecto Mariposa es excelente. El juego tiene MUCHISIMA rejugabilidad puesto que el número de decisiones que tomamos son cientos. Y todo, todo afecta a la trama. Simplemente genial.

    Como nota final: yo entiendo las criticas. No es un juego para todo el mundo, mucho menos para aquellos que solo gustan de videojuegos de acción. Pero si uno se toma el tiempo de entrar a la trama y elegir las opciones de forma razonada de acuerdo a la situación y personalidades de cada uno de los 8 protagonistas, es un juego asombroso en el que literalmente marcamos el rumbo.    … Expand

    Чем раньше вы будете проходить игру тем лучше. Я говорю это как челочек которому уже 23 года, а игра вышла 2015, мне тогда было 18, если бы я проходил игру тогда, то закономерно бы поставил игре 5 за сюжет, реализацию, геймплей и механик, но на 2021 год, ее есть с чем сравнивать.

    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]
