Hail to the Rainbow
Players' stories
Hail to the Rainbow was an absolute blast; a well-crafted, single-developer achievement that may put some AAA studios to shame. I remember its perfect optimization, great narrative, gorgeous aesthetic and visuals, and beautifully cohesive art direction, which created a rich post-apocalyptic atmosphere that blends story, scares, music, and audio into something memorable. While linear, exploration remains rewarding, featuring clever puzzles and a consistently engaging pacing that kept me captivated throughout. Difficulty felt fair throughout, with bosses that could be challenging at first but always came down to discovering the right trick or mechanic, making each encounter satisfying rather than frustrating. Overall, it was an indie masterpiece for me.

Excellent exploration - action game

This is a very strong effort from a solo developer, it immerses you in a voyage of discovery and growth of a young man looking for his father in a post apocalyptic world. Sense of immersion is very strong throughout the game even if some action sequences distract a bit, as they are not completely easy. The developer mentions the use of AI for robotic voices, which could be seen as fitting, and for some minor graphic elements, which I think should be the pictures on the wall, so it could be acceptable for a game that's made by a single person. You can try it without hesitation, I played it in the original language and it pulled me in, its quality surprised me.

Hail to the Rainbow quality indie games

What is this game? I don't know it. Thanks GOG for this new discovery, and in french subtitles! Thanks to the team and Sergey Noskov. I don't want this game to end So far, it's incredible, I'm giving it 4 stars but it's not finished After that, I urgently want to see Still Wakes the Deep arrive on the platform.

Immersive and fun with some rough edges

I've had a great time with this game. The visuals are great, the setting is interesting, it runs super smoothly and is generally a great experience. The combat feels a bit strange and is not the strong point of this game. It's the exploration, sound and music. It reminded me a bit of the Metro series with the driving reminiscent of something like Kona. The horror elements were great as it was never too much to handle (I'm not a horror game type of person). I was not a big fan of some of the flashback sections, but overall it was very fun and I'm definitely going to play it again some day.

perfectly

I played it on another platform and I'm completely satisfied. It's a very atmospheric adventure, and I'm glad that GOG has reached the game as well
