What Remains of Edith Finch

Note: You should avoid watching the trailer/looking at any screenshots. This is the type of game where half of the fun is in the discovery. For the first minute, I was unimpressed. Every minute thereafter, I was hooked. Almost had me crying at one point. Played it straight through in one sitting, but I'm sure I missed some secrets. Highly, highly recommended.

Play it with all your intensity, but no rush; like life, short and sweet.

I loved the story of Edith Finch, a story I do not wish to spoil. How it would end was obvious way before it ended, yet how it happened still surprised me. The controls are a bit weird, felt like they were intended for a controller; this does not mar the experience, it's something you can mostly get used to. The game is a walking simulator, telling of the curse of the Finch family. Short stories are told about each family member and what happened to them. Each story is told, shown and interacted with in a unique way. One story near the end stood out for me, though I liked almost all of them anyway. Edith Finch is a game I would definitely recommend you experience. Even if the pricetag and the runtime of two hours bothers you I implore you to pick it up when it hits the right price for you.

Amazing experience, you'll walk away with some kind of feeling.

It's like if Big Fish and Gone Home have had a brilliant child who is condemned to die young because of a family curse. 10/10
