    Possibly the worst game i ever played. The interaction is limited, the story is confusing and boring.

    Very stunning game and really nice music but I didn't really understand the game at all and the no talking aspect of the game really threw me off a bit. Not really my sort of game and because of that I will have to rate this very low.

    Speaking as a movie lover, Virginia is a pretty fascinating story. Imagine if David Lynch directed the pilot episode of The X-Files. It has some great visuals and a soild score. It's worth it to at least watch a stream if you're into this kind of story.

    As a gamer, and as someone who loves "walking sims" and artistic games, there is no reason that this should have been told as a game instead of movie. You have no agency, there is no sense of exploration, you can't affect any outcome, and you never have any option to choose. You pretty much walk through a series of very linear levels with usually only one object to interact with at any given time.    … Expand

    Atari's ET 2600 has more narrative falling down a pixelated well than this mess.

    This is the problem with hipstery creators... they don't get that they don't get what videogaming is all about.

    I only could stand 1 minute of demo. Hipsters should stop creating games. If you can’t in graphics and visuals just gtfo, write a book or create visual novel game with nice 2d characters ( probably it easier create most awful 3D models I ve ever seen for those bearded tolerance guys with goofy glasses and redneck hoodies)

    Very boring and dull game. As for the walking simulator, the graphics are too terrible and there is almost nothing to look at. The characters are all silent, there are no subtitles, it is completely incomprehensible what is happening. One word - trash. Glory to Ukraine!

    As a piece of art, I quite appreciate Virginia. but I certainly won't be revisiting Virginia in the future.

    You’re not in control of anything in Virginia, and once you come to accept that, it’s a completely different experience. It’s not going to appeal to many, but for those of you that might understand it, you will find something truly unique that sticks with you long after the credits roll.
