    main game udah kayak nonton film dan dari segi pengambilan angle kameranya menurutku masih kurang, tapi dari itu semua kita di suguhkan dengan horor dan jumpscare yang sangat amat mengagetkan, oh iya kalian yg takut jumpscare apalagi kalo kalian ada masalah jantung plis jangan main game ini!

    Best horror game. Sad that it's the last good game that the studio has made.

    One of the most replayable games I've ever played. If you are a fan of the Supernatural TV series and immersive horror gameplay, you should check this game out. Overall rating: 8.7.

    Until dawn while not being a perfect game is a very good one with not a lot of issues other than visuals bugging. Many of the scares got me, the characters are like-able, the graphics are actually good for being a 7 year old game. I loved the addition of the don't move parts. Overall i recommend until dawn to people who like choice based games and horror games.

    I can usually compliment something about a game at the very least but not this. The story is nonsense, the dialogue is cringe, and it looks and plays terrible. The camera angles are annoying af. Its just designed badly on top of many other problems. Also has performance and frame issues on top of it all.

    Had a blast with this one. All the choices had real consequences and the characters were well-written.

    Mostly cheap trills and shallow characters. The plot is ok but the choices and qte draw me out of the game. Another thing, you cannot replay chapters, you have to replay the whole game.. in this type of game that's BS. Just another cheap way to add lifespan to the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oynadığım seçimli, sinematik oyunların en iyisi. Karakterleri umursamada üst düzey. Oyunun son anında nefesimi tutuyordum, kolu hareket ettirmemek için.

    Oynama mekaniği çok kısıtlı ama Life is Strange'deki gibi boş şeylerle uğtaştırmadığı için rahatsız etmiyor. Kamera açıları eski Resident Evil oyunlarındaki gibi. Başta biraz rahatsız etmedi değil.

    Hikayede bazı mantıksızlıklar var ama korku filmlerine aşina olanlar için problem olmayacaktır.

    Oyundaki alınan kararlar ne kadar etkili bilmiyorum ama etkili olduğu hissini veriyor. Son bölüme kadar iyi gittim ama son bölümde birçok karakterin ölümüne sebep oldum. Üstelik bazıları aptalcaydı. Oyunlarda ana karakterler normalde ölmez, bunda da insan ister istemez yönettiği karakteri olmadık maceralara sürüklüyor. Ama bu oyunda ölebiliyorsun. Yani merakını bazen dizginlemen gerekiyor.

    Bir çok yerde Saw benzeri seçimler yapman gerekiyor. Baştakinde Josh denen eleman ölsün dedim. Sonra kendi kafama değil sevdiğim kızın kafasına sıkmayı tercih ettim, çünkü genlerimi sonraki nesle aktarmam gerekiyordu.

    Emily denen kıza başta acayip gıcık oluyordum ama yönetince sempati duydum ve kurtardım. Sonda Emily, Sam ve Matt hayatta kaldı. Herkesi kurtarmak mümkün mü bilmiyorum ama bir kaç kişiyi daha kolayca kurtarabilirdim.

    Quick Time Event mevzusu hiçbir oyunda bu kadar germedi beni. Çünkü kaydı yükleme falan yok, bir saniye geç kaldın diye karakter kalıcı olarak ölebiliyor.

    Oyunculuklar yılına göre epey iyiydi. Sony bu işi iyi yapıyor zaten. Neticede hikayesi, seçimleri ve karakterleriyle gayet güzel bir gerilim oyunu olmuş.    … Expand

    Oh, it was scary! The game keeps you in suspense from the beginning to the end. Also, I really liked the plot, it ends in a completely different way from where it started. It is not known how many times you will have to go through the game to keep all the main characters alive, as a huge number of your decisions affect the fate of the entire plot. It's exciting.

    Can’t fault it! I was gripped the whole time. A game you play multiple times alone or with friends.

    FPS is **** for a cinematic exclusive this is unacceptable plus the choices are predictable and only consist of watching cutscenes and making one of two choices. İf you are expecting heavy rain you wont even get Fahrenheit

    I love games and I want to say that The quarry is very good, the only negative is rather weak optimization. More games of this genre.

    恐怖类型可能是这种游戏风格的最佳选择。到目前为止，它在娱乐方面击败了Telltale和Quantum Dreams游戏，这显然是一个非常主观的说法，我喜欢恐怖电影。有没有想过青少年在一部杀戮电影中做出错误的决定？看看你是否正确！

    UNTIL THE END OF THE GAME.

    BEFORE WE BEGIN: I will preface by saying that I played the game on the first PS4, so I got the original experience with consequent console downsides. THE SUN IS SETTING: The game begins with a brief prologue, in which we learn about both the various characters and their characterizations, as well as game mechanics such as the butterfly effect, various    UNTIL THE END OF THE GAME.

    BEFORE WE BEGIN:
    I will preface by saying that I played the game on the first PS4, so I got the original experience with consequent console downsides.

    THE SUN IS SETTING:
    The game begins with a brief prologue, in which we learn about both the various characters and their characterizations, as well as game mechanics such as the butterfly effect, various choices, and the ability to navigate small game maps. The story begins by giving small spurts of curiosity to the player and launching in the immediate twist that will then bring the game's centerpiece to life.

    AVOIDING STUMBLING:
    The gameplay of the game is mainly based on the possibility of choosing various roots, and that of actually being able to decide the fate of the various characters at any point in the game. Otherwise, the game has nothing special except for a few quick time events, exploratory sections where you can collect various collectibles, and a few shooting stages.

    LOOKING THROUGH THE WINDOW:
    Visually the game, for being 2015, is neither a gem nor a piece of crap; The facial animations are rather expressionless, but well modeled. The game environments are well done, but simple and monotonous. The graphics are not bad, but cause huge framerate problems anywhere in the game, and finally, the animations are often very clunky and unnatural.

    HEARING WHISPERS:
    The audio side of the game has two sides, the horrible side being that of the voice acting but especially that of the audio mixing, often out of sync or with terrible quality; the other side of the coin is the soundtrack, which has a tremendous amount of work behind it and actually has quality.

    WHY 6?

    CONS:
    In addition to the frame rate and audio sync details, the game often feels dull and monotonous, given the characterization of the characters on huge stereotypes, which make the characters unrealistic and very forced; this combined with the facial animations makes the game really unrealistic. In addition, one always has the feeling, actually true, that everything one is doing, including choices, changes little or nothing about the story, and so it does indeed.
    The biggest flaw is that it turns out to be a very corny horror game, more like a trashy hollywood movie than a real horror game.

    PROS:
    Notes of merit of the game are the good replayability, the fluidity with which the game is played when taken comically and for laughs, since it has little horror and the extra content in the game, which is very interesting.

    No doubt is the best horror game i've ever played. Awesome, perfection! The fact of be able to make choices and change the course of the events in a horror background is great.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    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]
