What Remains of Edith Finch

Actually, initially I was pretty much sceptical about a "yet another walking sim", but after 10 or 15 minutes in the game I realised that it had something particular inside. I must admit that this one has surpassed any other game of this type. The game is a profoundly touching experience. Also, it has a pretty easter egg tied to The Unfinished Swan, the former game of the studio.

A sad and emotional tale of a quirky family who literally have a house in their family tree. The stories are well told and cleverly put together and the graphics are good, but it lacks an emotional punch or any real closure at the end. It’s an interactive story rather than a game, with some atmosphere but very limited challenge and to be honest, I was expecting a lot more from it. Each story is told differently and in some inventive ways, but it wasn’t deep or thought-provoking enough for me.

This is a game where part of the gameplay seems to be working out how to open a door or how to catch a rabbit when you're a little girl dreaming about being an owl. Probably quite a good game if that's what rings your bell, but I was simply relieved to stop playing it. It's too slow and there's too little reward in the tiny achievement of working out what keys roll a shark down a hill. Might come back to it when I'm retired or something.

great game

Useless WASD keys bound to movement, no wayy to change them and Steam files in the install folder. And there's no forum accessible on gog to try to help each other. Steer away from this: really bad devs.
