What Remains of Edith Finch

What can i say? This game is groundbreaking, when it comes to storytelling. It fits smaller stories into a main story - A cursed family. You follow their story all the way from Norway to this modern day and age.

One of the best games in the last 20 years of gaming industry.

WHAT REMAINS OF EDITH FINCH (2017) was a very well done game full of heart and soul. As a walking simulator game, the gameplay is very limited. The story, visual art, and music, however, is where these kinds of games really shine. What Remains of Edith Finch has that great combination of Story, Art and Music.

A young woman, named Edith Finch, returns to her old family home, in search of answers to her childhood questions, the mystery of a curse that lingers over the Finch family. The house is seemingly unoccupied, and yet teeming with history and memory. In that sense, it is very alive.

As Edith, the player travels through the great mysterious Finch house, through each family members rooms, trying to make sense of their individual stories. All stories are vastly unique, told in a manner fitting to the specific character themselves, whether it be through reading a diary or snapshot of a camera. Each story is highly memorable, and often times, highly emotional too.

As far as story telling goes, this game was really well done, really meaningful and thought-provoking. The graphics and art were really great as well. The music and voice acting was amazing. This game was top notch quality. The unanswered questions were perhaps the only reason that caused me to lower my rating. I felt there was still so much to be said and explained, more to be desired. Although a beautiful and moving ending, it felt too open-ended for me and lacking real closure. A great play for fans of narrative driven, walking simulators.

STORY: 7/10 GAMEPLAY: 9/10 GRAPHICS: 9/10 ART DESIGN: 8/10 MUSIC: 9/10 OVERALL RATING: 8.5.

The game is a collection of small stories describing the life of the Finch family and succeeds in telling them - each story has a different and a unique perspective on how it's told and keeps the player engaged as they wander around the abandoned house of Finches. It's one of the most incredible storytelling games I've ever seen and it's a game worth experiencing for yourself.

Amazing game. I wanted to play it but there wasn't a good enough preview to warrant buying it. Got it for free, and wow. I've only played it once, because it was so impactful that I haven't been able to forget it enough to play again. I sincerely hope there's a sequel.

It's a very short game, linear. Every story is completely different. I hated the ending but it makes sense.

What Remains of Edith Finch is very similar in some respects to Giant Sparrow's previous game, The Unfinished Swan. It's more of an interactive narrative than a game in the traditional sense, with the player being guided through a story and being unable to fail through their actions.

It consists of a carefully weaving path detailing the stories of members of the Finch household through a series of flashbacks. Each is markedly different in style, reflecting the individuals whose story it's portraying. It's heartfelt, joyous and somewhat sad at the same time - an incredible experience.
