    Rime is a beautiful game with some ugly drawbacks. Still, I recommend checking it out. The world is gorgeous and the adventure worth seeing. I hope the developers make an effort to clean up the frame rate at some point, but I also hope to see a follow-up with some of the issues addressed. There is too much beauty for this game to not return.

The controls are smooth and the level design is amazing. RiME is an adventure puzzler, with a little focus on exploration. No talking or combat, not even any tutorial, RiME tells a narrative through visuals that is sure to work for gamers of any language.

    It has a similar art style of The Witness, but plays nothing like that game. RiME reminds me a lot of Ico and Journey. I have read reviews from the critics saying RiME can't compete with those classics, but I disagree. RiME is the game Ico should have been.

    Puzzles are basic and typically consist of pushing blocks, activating lights, moving shadows, jumping, hanging on platforms, swimming through tunnels, and a bit of staying in the shadows. And it's all fun and satisfying.

    With gorgeous music and heart warming visuals, good controls and a intriguing world, I highly recommend this game - especially for the low price.    … Full Review »

Lots of well hidden collectibles and chapter select to find them. I really loved this game and didn't want it to end. The music was lovely and the mostly silent character is something I always enjoy. Really glad I bought this game, well worth the price.… Full Review »

    Great game, looks like The Witness plays like Zelda but has an emotional punch all of it's own. Best game of the year for me and I wouldGreat game, looks like The Witness plays like Zelda but has an emotional punch all of it's own. Best game of the year for me and I would recommend it as a must play for anyone who thinks it may even slightly appeal to them. Have no idea why the user score is so low as they don't put their reasons down in words but I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't get enjoyment from this game.… Full Review »
