RiME

I absolutely love this game. The game is designed and executed perfectly in every detail. Music, story is beautiful beyond words. Graphics and the world are crafted by a truely artistic soul and the incredibly well designed controlls allow you to achieve full immersion. I've started and finished the game in one sitting, just couldn't stop playing, which never happened to me before. Highly recomended if you like adventure games with logic puzzles and beautiful story - this one is for you!

Here's a special one. A nonviolent, nonverbal, and tranquil jaunt through whimsy. It's not long, but it's not too short either. It gets a bit too contemplative and unclear at times. Other times it's a bit too casual, hinting either with colors or camera angles where you need to go. It asks you to backtrack and is ok with you getting lost, and when it does it's not so bad. There's a touch of Assassin's Creed's tower climbing, or old school Tomb Raider's riddle solving. The graphics are expressive without being overly realistic, water and light in particular.

This game is gorgeous in every level. A wonderful story, great puzzles, and a camera angle that will agitate you every now and again, but irrelevant. I recieved the game for free and was not disappointed. A must have to add to the single player collective. If you like achievements and exploring for collectibles, then you'll have fun with the hunt that RiME provides. Buy it!!!

An enthrallingly beautiful game, Rime boasts some truly gorgeous graphics and a haunting soundtrack. The short but poignant tale will appeal to any fans of games such as Brothers or the unsurpassed masterpiece that is Journey (a game which Rime clearly seeks to emulate). Sadly, some annoying design flaws and baffling decisions by the devs let this game down. Occasional unresponsiveness in control and poor camera angles leading to missed jumps and falls are easy to overlook. Tragically however, Rime's biggest drawback is the developers odd decision to take an utterly simple puzzle concept (basically throwing switches) and force the player to have to do this in a certain time or have the puzzle reset. For me, this added a completely unnecessary level of frustration to a sublime and relaxing game which otherwise begs to be explored calmy and at your own pace. I am baffled as to why they thought making the player endure frantic, panicked attempts at hittng the often unresponsive buttons in time would enhance the gamplay in an otherwise gentle and sublime little game begging to be explored. More patient players than me will undoubtedly enjoy this wonderful game and find much in the gorgeous gameworld to be discovered. Sadly, for others, it's an unnecessarily frustrating experience soon forgotten in the noise of a thousand other games waiting to be played.

That game broek my heart .
