    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.

    What Remains of Edith Finch крайне занятная инди-игра, представляет собой сборник историй рассказанных в разных игровых жанрах с разным геймплеем. 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.
    Я поиграл считай бесплатно в Game Pass, за что спасибо Майкам, добавившим игру в подписку!    … Expand

    Game between walking simulator and narrative we walk in the house to see what happened to the family of Edith, the game is short, the family stories are nice but we remain without answers at the end of the game in my opinion

    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. TheI'm a huge fan of walking simulators. This one just isn't for me.

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

    Is more like a movie where you need to move main character. You watch many well-drawn stories and locations, some of them interesting, other boring. Visuals are strong side of that "game". Unfortunately gamer has nothing to do here. You cannot make any choices, cannot save anyone or at least unravel mystery. Ending is very disappointing. Game is short what here becomes a plus.

    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.
