What Remains of Edith Finch

I'm a big fan of the story here. The game play is really intriguing and I've never really played anything like this before. I bought it on sale and would have paid full price now knowing what it was all about. I recommend this game to any casual gaming fans that aren't looking for combat in their games. Playing it is kind of sad but also relaxing so 10/10

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.

As you see in the headline, a question. But one that you'll keep asking yourself everytime an event takes place in this game. What remains of Edith finch is a strongly-narrative game that manages to keep you interested in the story to it's very last bit and you'd still be a little bit confused, the game introduction doesn't really give you an explanation on what's happening but in a really good way, and the way you visit other characters rooms to see their stories from their own perspective is a unique experience and i've never seen a game pulls that out as good as this one does, the visuals and the voice acting were on an incredibly and surprisingly good level and one I certainly didn't expect, my only problem with this game is that it doesn't give you more freedom which i felt was needed sometimes but that's still debatable due to the fact that this is a narrative game. You should definitely try What remains of Edith finch as soon as possible.

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.

There are times when I game just tears at your heart strings and this game is one of them. The game (without giving any spoilers away) is a collection of short stories about the Finch family's life and death. It's a 2 hour masterpiece with great pacing and just the right length. If they tried to have a regular length game it would have suffered. The best part of the game besides the story is the variations on the gameplay from comic books to playing as animals it works. You are never bored. This game although short is a must have for anyone who loves stories in your game.
