    Nice art style, good acting and OST and overall the best thing for me is that is very well paced.
    In most similar titles (Telltale's games, Life is strange, etc.) the choices and situations most of the time seem forced and irrelevant (or at least presented in a clunky way). As Dusk Falls managed to get me scene to scene engaged with the characters and the issues at hand.

    Narrative games is all about narrative. Convey emotions, put players in interesting choices, create interesting environments that fits the actions happening during the gameplay. Using that as a criteria, this is a 10/10 game. Awesome and deep narrative, gorgeous and atmospheric environments, fantastic music. Even better if played in multiplayer mode.

    Love these Quantic Dream type games. For their first outing as a game developer I’m incredibly impressed by Interior Night. Can’t wait for their next game.

    If you like things like Telltale or Heavy Rain/Detroit Become Human you should definitely check this out. Feels like a great movie or mini series mixed with those types of games. Top notch!

    Incredible game. Very reminiscent of Quantic Dream or Telltale. I loved the story and was completely gripped by it. At first the art style was a little jarring but once I got into it I didn’t have a problem with it at all and actually grew to like it a lot - feels very much like a comic book.

I really hope it gets a sequel and would love to see them work with Xbox/Game Pass again.

    If you like these interactive story telling, narrative first games then I think you’ll enjoy this as much as I have. If that’s not your cup of tea then I doubt this would transcend the genre enough to make you a fan of it.

    10/10 for me. Interior Night is definitely a studio to watch. Great job guys!!    … Expand

    In honesty, I’d give the game/movie an 8/10. But too many people are in their feelings because it doesn’t cater to their ADHD need constant action brains. Good dramas take time to unfold. If you think the game is boring, it’s because you are boring, dog.

    Excelente jogo, não esperava que o jogo fosse tão bom assim, a narrativa é intrigante e prede o jogador a todo momento, um jogo em que suas escolhas realmente tem um peso. Para quem gosta de jogos de história como LS e TWD vai adorar esse tenho certeza. Os gráficos em Power point não me desagradaram pelo contrário me prenderam mais a história que estava sendo contada. Recomendo bastante!!!

    Одна из лучших игр в жанре интерактивного кино. Огромное количество вариаций действий, которые действительно влияют на сюжет. Интересная стилистика, позволяющая видеть все внутренние переживания героев через их мимику. Сюжет интересный. Периодически необходимо запоминать даже маленькие детали в истории, для ответа в последующих диалогах.Одна из лучших игр в жанре интерактивного кино.

    The variety of this game is top class. But why play this over a talltale game? Multiplayer. The ability to play with mates really gives depth. The battles over a petty option brings a new narrative towards the genre

    Me ha parecido muy gratificante y una revolucion para su genero sin duda ofrece una experiencia narrativa a otro nivel nunca visto el hecho de que juegues con otros 8 amigos hace las posibilidades ilimatadas en la trama

    My personal experience with As Dusk Falls is fantastic. I understand that after the Motel event, the story slowed down a lot. But It has an awesome story that will catch you from start to end (even if the end is not that fantastic).

I understand that after the Motel event, the story slowed down a lot. But It has an awesome story that will catch you from start to end (even if the end is not that fantastic).

    I would like to describe my experience in 3 parts:

    Story: For this kind of game, the story is almost always slow and you have to spend too many hours and go deep into the plot to really start to enjoy the game but with this one, you will empathize with the characters from the very beginning.

    Gameplay: Magnificent. You always feel that your choose will affect the character and the way they interact with each others. I never felt this kind of feeling with any game before. You have to play it to really understand. I want to share that I was studying very hard that week for my U, but I feel the need to finish the game after I started and when I finished I had to replay the last part to take some choices again in order to get the finale that I wanted. I really want life being like that. hahah just going back to the part that you want and took the choices that You didn't at that time that maybe were better.

    Sound: I played it in Latin american Spanish and It was awesome. I don't know if the English version is good but the Spanish dub was outstanding. And about the music, the main theme is really cool and the sound effects, fantastic.

    In conclusion, this game is something that you have to experience yourself. Please do. I know that this game is not for everyone but at least give it a chance.    … Expand

    How to get started? This game showed me a wonderful narrative!

    I Must Apologize...

    I always thought these story based games where decisions are the primary way of interacting were dumb. I am sorry I am stupid, I was wrong. If you like telltale games, but wish co-op was an option, this game evolves that formula perfectly. My positives: - The story is thrilling. Gripping, and heartbreaking. - The cast of characters are amazing and loveable. -    I Must Apologize...

    - The plot is complicated and never what it seems.
    - THE CO-OP IS BRILLIANT! Play this with 7 friends!
    - The QTE are actually hard lol and have consequence (eh hem god of war)
    - Art direction is beautiful.
    - Love the modern western setting and feel.

    Negatives
    - My only negative is a positive, there are so many arcs and branching paths it would take a long time to see everything in this game!    … Expand

    Will you enjoy this story-based game? That, quite unsurprisingly, depends on whether you’re going to like the story. The plot twists aren’t great but if you’re interested in dark topics like PTSD, you could leave satisfied.

    Caroline Marshall’s first independent project may not have panned out exactly as planned, but it shows enough potential in its story telling to convince some to give it a try, and if you already own a Game Pass subscription then you are just investing your time, which will probably worth it.
