Heavy Rain Reviews
Despite having some awkward control quirks while playing with a mouse and keyboard, the PC version of Heavy Rain is just as solid as the PlayStation 4 re-release.
Heavy Rain is perfect game, PC port looks good and works smoothly

Entertaining narrative experience charms you with its events and mysteries, but it ends up with many plot , holes and unexplained events, with shallow gameplay & tiring controls. No effort has been done to the PC port but it's a good opportunity for new players, as for players who played it before I don't recommend replaying it.

Heavy Rain was quite the unique release in 2010 and is still worth a look for genre fans. This PC re-release improves a lot of things about that original experience, but doesn't go as far as it could in some respects.
Heavy Rain is poorly written and not as smart as it thinks it is, but has a genuine sense of choice and consequence.
Heavy Rain looks fantastic on PS4 and still has the power and sophistication to leave a lasting impression. Despite not fixing the glitches and awkward, robotic crowd scenes for this remaster, Quantic Dream's interactive drama is an absorbing experience not to be missed.
More could have been done to make Heavy Rain a bit more palatable for modern audiences, but the fact is that it’s still a great story-driven game despite its myriad of issues.
If you loved the game when it first came out, you may find that Heavy Rain has lost some of its initial spark in comparison to newer games.
If you've already played Heavy Rain on PS3, you won't miss anything. If you're totally new to it as a PC gamer, it might surprise you with its branching narrative and raw drama, even if the writing occasionally misses the mark.
Nine years later, Heavy Rain's flaws have only become more pronounced. Even so, strong narrative design can't be denied, and it's just enough to ease the pain caused by the game's more outrageous blunders.
With its gripping plot and innovative controls, Heavy Rain is worth trying out for narrative-driven game lovers looking for something new.
If you have played Heavy Rain before, I haven't. So I can't quite recommend to you whether or not to purchase this game because of any differences it may have had between console and PC.
It will infuriate, it will make you laugh unintentionally, and cringe to the center of the Earth at times, but Heavy Rain is still very much worth investigating for its bold, and often striking, weirdness.
One of the best games from last gen, if you enjoy crime drama, if you're a fan of Yakuza or Judgment or Quantic Dream studios, you have to play Heavy Rain.
