RiME

I've played a lot of games of this kind, and none of them were as charming and moving like this one. Every small detail of the game has been treated with good taste, the combination of the oneiric mediterranean-like locations, alongside with the soundtrack create a wonderful world. Specially recommended if you enjoyed Shadow Of The Colossus and ICO and Monument Valley. The game runs smoothly and the puzzles are quite challenging, not to mention the great storyline. As a Spaniard, it made me really proud to see such a masterpiece.

Looks beautiful, cell shading doesn't age so it'll still look good 10 years from now. Puzzles evolve as the game progresses, they're not very difficult but definitley interesting. Music is as good as the visuals and syncs up very well with whats going on on screen. Game is supprisingly demanding with anti aliasing on but off is quite easy to run, not sure why. £30 is a bit much. but on sale i couldn't reccomend it enough. TLDR: buy it already

Summary: This game is an artwork, visually and musically. The story is simple, but well developed, transmitted and emotional.

I got this game for free after buying some other titles several months ago. I'm not a fan of platformers or the logic games, but last week I decided to give it a try out of curiosity. Now I gotta say that it was one of the best video game expieriences I ever had. Beautiful music (!), beautiful graphics and simple, yet interesting and touching story (I've cried at the end, 10/10 lol). Puzzles are quite easy, but fun to do. I didn't encounter any glitches (not even one, seriously) throughout the game so Rime deserves a huge plus for that. The game isn't very long, you can easily finish it in 5 hours (though I wasn't looking for all the secrets and collectibles available) so you won't get bored. This is more than just a video game, you have to try it. You won't regret spending your time with Rime. 10/10. ~V

The game play is solid, the artistic style is beautiful, the music is moving. It could be argued that it's a simple game, but there will be surprises and there are interesting puzzles and lots of nooks to explore. The only real criticism I can offer is the game is only 5-6 hours unless you're a completionist and feel a need to explore every nook for every secret. The secrets don't appear to affect the outcome (although I am not a completionist and haven't googled to find out if there are alternate endings. And I won't do it only to spoil people by answering that question in my review. So if that matters to you, do a little more research than my review.) The story is told non-verbally, though sounds from the character and surrounding npcs, from the music and scenes. It's a spoiler, but ultimately the game is tragic and heartbreaking. The titles of the five chapters say it all. Perhaps a little pricey when not on sale when there is about 6 hours of regular gameplay. Absolutely worth it when it's on sale.
