Until Dawn

Some of these cinematic games get a lot of flack, and for good reason, but this is definitely an exception. This game BLEW me away. All the different endings and possibilities are what set this apart. The story is amazing and every decision you make feels like it matters -- in fact, you can go back and see just how much it DOES matter on each additional playthrough!

This game is amazing. Its cult status guarantees it to become a collector's item one day. Get it while you still can!

Until Dawn succeeds at something many horror games fail to do. It makes you have a real fear for the characters in your game. Each character feels very real and they each have distinct personalities. The gameplay is a nice balance between story building and intense action. There are a lot of jumpscares in the game but the real fear comes from the tension that builds between scenes. The game has some jaw dropping graphics from the beautiful character's faces to the diverse settings. The game's choice system is one of the best parts. The choices you make have real consequences which keeps the pressure high and makes for more intense gameplay. Quick time events are used in a smart way to make the action scenes very difficult and stressful. Totems can be collected around the map that give you glimpses into the future to warn you about a death or give you guidance on important decisions. Your sessions with Dr. Hill feels very eerie and makes the game scarier for everyone. The game uses classic horror tropes beautifully to please the us awesome horror fans. The voice acting feels believable and helps you care about your fragile friends. This game is not going to be for everyone, but if you are a horror fan and love a good story this is one of the best out there.

But it does not just play with the cliches we have (though no nudity in case you were wondering, but a lot of violence and death if that helps or appalls you), it builds on them and it tells quite the interesting story. A story you participate in, a story you actually play. And you play multiple characters and you have to make sure they all survive ... or if you are mad I reckon, make sure everyone dies - which by the way isn't as easy as it may sound.

I played this so many times and do not regret I did. This is not for everyone of course ... you have to love story game telling with little to no action. Yes you get FMV here, but you can control and move the characters too at certain points of the story. A rich story that takes breaks from time to time to give you psychological tests ... from a psychiatrist ... there is so much here ... so much story, so many neat and wicked twists ... I love it! I know the rating gave it away, yes?

I have never been this intrigued by a game before. Oh man, the atmosphere is just insane... most atmospheric game ever? Until Dawn also has a great story, great graphics, great soundtrack, great action, great mystery and thrills. If you like games like Heavy Rain and horror movies you will LOVE Until Dawn, i promise you you wont regret it! Personally it might be one of the best games ever and I am normally very hard to please. A must play. Also play with your friends or wife/girlfriend, you will have a BLAST together making all the choices and seeing what happens!The all star cast is also doing a great job! I hope they make a sequel or something because oh my god, this was a lot of fun. Best game ever? It might just be...

One of best exclusives on the PS4 if you're a fan of interactive stories / walking sims.

The story, gameplay and acting has some minor flaws at times, but overall it's a fantastic experience. You feel yourself wanting these stupid teens die all whilst hoping they make it out alive. A great game with loads of replay value.

The game animations are a bit quirky at times but for a 2015 release, it still looks stunning in 2021.
