    One of the best story-driven games of the generation and one of the best I've played. I wish I could experience this game as if it was my first time again. I'd highly recommend this game.

    What Remains of Enith Finch is a wonderful example of interactive storytelling. It was compelling, exciting and heartbreaking. At the same time, there was something enchanting about exploring the absurd house during the story. After the end, however, I was left with a few questions that I would have liked to have answered. Nevertheless, this was a beautiful, memorable story.

    One of the most beautiful games I´ve ever played. You are going to feel things that are indescriptibles. Especially if you have a big family. Yes, interaction is very limited but if you are curious and you have a sensible heart, this game is going to blow your mind. Guaranteed.

It also is quite possibly the best video game simulation of family-inherited madness that's ever been made.

    Even if it's short and even boring to some people, What Remains Of Edith Finch proves that games can be more than "just games". A very short game that made me feel moved and captivated by the interesting story that follows a terribly unlucky family. I just had fun watching how the story vastly developed with every second. Definitely a masterpiece I will visit soon once again.

    A unique, varied, narrative-driven gem. Interesting throughout. Slight frame-rate issues and some awkward gameplay moments are the only gripes with an otherwise engaging experience. Its a testament to its design that i completed the entire game in one play-through, despite only planning to play for 30 minutes.

    My first and last 'story' type 'game'. Can this really be called a game without competition, points, or any action taken not influencing the outcome? No. I'd call it the digital cartoon equivalent of a pop-up book. Essentially a tragic, somewhat depressing story told with beautiful visuals, this is less a game and more a literary visual art work.

    I really loved this game/story. I had low expectations, given the price of admission and that I knew nothing about it before purchasing it. I think it is an impressive achievement in immersive, interactive storytelling. Is it perfect? No, but Elite Dangerous, Forza Horizon 3, Rainbow Six Siege, Fallout 4 - every game that I have played and enjoyed is imperfect.

    This game reminds me of what "That Dragon Cancer" was trying to do, but I can't go there emotionally. This creatively approaches the difficult subject of depression and mental illness - and if you struggle with it or have a family member that does, you might just appreciate the tenderness (and straight forwardness) that they treat the subject.

It has a lot more interactivity to it than other walking simulators, the stories are evocative and unique and the house is a joy to navigate through because of it's complexity.

    The game itself is really just a series of interconnected vignettes about the ancestors and relatives of the protagonist who lived and died in the house which you find out about by exploring their individual rooms. Each story is it's own entity and you play through them in first person, 3rd person, comic book form, platforming or any other game related way you can think of. The imagination and sense of exploration you get from the game is top notch and it tells quite a moving tale of this cursed family living in a strange dreamlike house.
    I would highly recommend it and even though on the surface it is like Gone Home it is more like Firewatch with it's complex story and large world waiting for exploration. Well worth the money and time in my opinion.    … Expand

    Stunning game. This is indisputable proof to those that believe video games aren't art that they are quite mistaken. An example of how to do a "walking simulator" correctly. Heavy focus on story and exploration (although quite linear, it still feels self guided).

    It's deceptive, really. At the beginning it looks like it's going to be a good game. But about an hour into it you get the sinking feeling like this game isn't going to bother to explain anything. You're just watching it build roads to nowhere until it's over, and the ending is the laziest cop out I've seen since Star Wars Episode 3. Don't waste your money.

    What was that? 2 hours (or less) "gameplay" in probably 5 frames per second (played on xbox one x). Forced story to be unique but become stupid. I'm mac, owl, shark, snake?!? Reading comics. It's even not walking simulator.. There should be warning about this games in store before you buy. One reason more to avoid indie "games".

    Le personnage principal (Edith) se déplace à deux à l'heure et tous ses commentaires sont incroyablement barbants, en plus de s'avérer non pertinents : c'est juste du blabla de merde dont on se contrefout. Et avec son accent amerloque à marshmallows, c'est encore plus désagrable.

Удивляет как сюжетом, так и мини-играми, завёрнутыми в обложку повествования.
    Нам предстоит исследовать дом, который хранит тайны многострадальной семьи Финчей, полученный в наследство главной героиней. Дом крайне высоко детализирован хоть и невелик, то есть упор делался на качество, а не количество, чего очень не хватает в современных играх. Чуть ли не каждая первая игра однотипный мёртвый открытый мир, созданный для убивания времени гриндом, но сейчас такой тренд делать много, иначе не выдержать конкуренцию на рынке, ведь позволить себе купить короткую сюжетную игру за фулл прайс могут не многие, а так вроде большая игра и надолго, ну ок куплю.
    Рекомендую не торопиться и внимательно совать нос в каждый угол, иначе рискуете не уловить весь шарм данного проекта.
    Отдельно хотел бы отметить крайне качественную адаптацию на русский язык - весь текст стилизован под пропись и пишется прямо на стенах, на объектах, а также можно в специальных местах на него воздействовать, например, в одной истории нужно воздушным змеем собрать буквы и тянуть за собой по экрану.
    Из минусов отмечу продолжительность - игру можно пройти за 3 часа не торопясь, но с другой стороны, хорошего по-немножко.
    Технически игра выполнена слабовато и это второй минус - графика мыльная на самой мощной консоли Xbox One X и при этом ещё умудряется местами проседать в закрытом пространстве, где толком ничего нет, то есть с оптимизацией как-то не очень.
    Вердикт: нетривиальная игра, которую будет не лишним пройти всем от мала до велика. Твёрдая 7 из 10… было бы 8, если бы игра технически была такой же вылизанной, как её локации визуально.

    I'm a huge fan of walking simulators. This one just isn't for me. Loved Beginner's Guide, Gone Home, Ethan Carter, Firewatch. This one's just not as good. What all of those others have in common is a central thesis, an aesthetic and some emotional payoff.

The catharsis at the end is important for a narrative focused game, because there's no other content really. It's all narrative. The problem with this one is that's it's a handful of vignettes, but the end of each one is kind of a joke. It's tragic, but silly, but not funny enough to be good. They plant many seeds early on about what's going on with the father and the brother who went missing, but there are no answers. The answers are all whimsical nonsense and the deep sense of mystery is never resolved by the end. The actual ending is super predictable. I just wanted some resolution to any of it. Even emotionally. All of the games I mentioned have an abstract quality to them, and none of them fully explain everything. I just feel like there's an emotional payoff that this game is completely missing. It left me completely unsatisfied. The vignettes themselves are somewhat entertaining, pretty imaginative. I'm just not as much for the novelty. If that's your bag, you'll probably still like it.… Expand

    This is normal, maybe interesting game in some moments. I dont understand story line. Graphic is bad, but this is game with atmosphere immersion

    What remains of Edith Finch is a beautiful game. Set in the Orcas Islands, Washington, the graphics closely resemble the Washington state and the amount of detail inside the house is insane. The house even features mt.rainier poster and I was amazed by the amount of detail the house has. The storyline is amazing but I did not find it as heartwarming as others might have found.

    Very good little game, with an interesting but sad story. It took me between 2 and 3 hours to complete the Game.

    A storytelling masterpiece that made a grown man cry. "What remains of Edith Finch" is a little pearl among modern games that usually lack a good story. Well deserved 10/10

    The game is pure art, the story is great, the atmosphere too. Another small studio that made a hidden gem. The gameplay is fantastic, and the graphics as well as the optimization are superbly done.

    Beautiful and unique experience. I thought this game was going to be like depressive but it was not. Nostalgic, heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking, and overall this game felt very human.

    It's beautiful. Honestly, a magnificent piece of art with some amazing storyline, amazing artworks and surprising gameplay. It's a short game, but it feels great. Discovering the story of each individual character was a great adventure. Very thoughtful gameplay.

    There is no gameplay. It is a very short game where all you are really doing is walking in a straight line and clicking "next". It's okay to "listen" to the story if you get it for free with gamepass or something else but don't expect a video game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The most overrated game of all time?

    It's been 5 years since this game had come out when I finally got around to playing this as it was leaving Game Pass. I heard about it being an easy 1000 Gamerscore so thought I'd spend a day sorting that out. Before I did that though, I did want to experience this well regarded and well awarded game, including winning a BAFTA for best game. Needless to say, my expectations were understandably high.

    It was probably the most disappointing gaming experience I've ever had. What an absolute let down. This disappointment has nothing to do with the "gameplay", I knew what I was getting into regarding that. I was expecting some amazing story but after hearing/reading the first book/episode, I knew what the rest of the game was going to be. Just trying to be some depressing story to try and tug on my heart strings but like, I didn't care about any of these characters.

    It would be like going to watch the first Avengers or something with no prior knowledge of the characters but seeing a little 5 minutes flashback about how they all died. Like, who cares? I certainly didn't. Why did this get such amazing reviews? I'm baffled.

    I guess the one saving grace for me was the Barbara flashback. That was extremely cool! Give me a whole game like that please.    … Expand

    A beautiful and haunting exploration of life, death and family tragedy.

    What Remains of Edith Finch is an absolutely beautiful and emotionally complex game. Despite a certain sense of morbidity in telling so many tales of death, the game is truly about the celebration of life. Despite all their differences, each family member is remembered more for who they were than how they were lost. This is a wonderful little tale that uses every second to the fullest, and truly should not be missed.

    What Remains of Edith Finch knows its niche from the beginning and rarely strays, resulting in a cohesive experience that I was never jolted out of. It elicits the strangest mixture of emotions, and its different modes of storytelling are second to none. The controls don’t translate seamlessly from PC to Xbox One, but you don’t play this game for the controls; you play for the story, and the story is gripping.
