    The Suicide of Rachel Foster is well constructed when it comes to design and mechanics, but is let down if you stop to examine the plot for a moment. The deeper into the game you get, the more it feels like it’s trying to shock rather than effectively engage with serious topics.

    As even the mention of suicide for some people, whether tied to their direct struggles or to those they love, can be problematic, I’m alwaysAs even the mention of suicide for some people, whether tied to their direct struggles or to those they love, can be problematic, I’m always leery of games that put it right out front. Thankfully, while this title doesn’t shy away from dealing with some creepy and/or disturbing circumstances over your character’s journey the title act seems to be given the gravity it deserves… just understand there are some dark revelations delivered along the way. Playing as a walking simulator, the pacing can be uneven and sometimes a bit frustratingly slow as you are awaiting new revelations to advance what you understand of the underlying story, but if you have the proper patience and tolerance for darkness this isn’t a bad ride.

But due to the technical deficits and the weak implementation of the controls, much of the horror and charm of the game is lost. The storyline and its progression are very reminiscent of a good movie. So you should think twice before buying the new version of the game "The Suicide of Rachel Foster" for the Nintendo Switch.… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. It won't be for everyone. If you like the slow, narrative driven but linear games than worth a try (especially if it's on discount). The graphic is OK (sometimes a bit too dark), the voice acting is good enough and the story as well. No big twist at the end but at the last few "rooms" there are a few very goosebumpy scenes (like the mannequins). The game will give you the necessary amount of help. The whole gameplay is approx 3 hrs (or maybe less) but have a good enough atmosphere to try it. Way better game than you imagine it after read the critics.… Full Review »
