What Remains of Edith Finch Review

Recommended

Superb storytelling! What a (almost) two hour journey exploring stories in different styles with foreshadowing and backreferencing. It is mostly slow paced, at times not interactive, and forces you and your view in specific directions, and relatively short with less than two hours, but the variety, exploration, atmosphere and storytelling is absolutely great.

+ Compelling storytelling
+ Great variance in gameplay and presentation of stories
+ Great atmosphere
+ Interesting interwoven story
+ Great graphics and sound design
+ Great blending of reality and imagination
* Walking simulator
* Enforces view directions for visibility of voiced story text
* Short; less than two hours (which are definitely captivating though!)
* Mostly light, interesting and humorous, but also very dark and tragic on multiple occasions
