Kathy Rain Reviews
A fantastic story well told, superbly presented. When it comes to point and click adventures on Steam, Kathy reigns.
I loved what I saw of Kathy Rain at PAX East, and the finished product was more amazing than I thought possible. This is one of the best point-and-click adventures of the year, and Raw Fury should be immensely proud of their ability to bottle that retro lightning twice.
It’s not every day that a video game surprises me, and that is exactly what’s happened here. 'Kathy Rain' is engrossing for nearly all of its admittedly modest running time, even when it takes quirky trips into left field. It may wear its inspirations on its sleeve, but that makes it no less likeable or entertaining.
The first installment of the dark adventure game Kathy Rain has a lot to offer. Fans of point-and-click titles and Gabriel Knight will find plenty to enjoy here. The game features countless memorable characters, breathtaking pixel art environments, and atmospheric music. Although it’s brimming with positive aspects, it’s not without its flaws. The biggest problem is the story itself, which, in the second act, rather chaotically and confusingly combines several motifs and themes that don’t always work together. The final result is definitely not a disappointment, and if you love this genre of point-and-click games as much as I do, at least give this sassy tough girl a chance.

A Gripping Point & Click Adventure
While there have been a great number of LucasArts-esque point-and-click adventure titles on Switch, not all of them have been created equal...
Kathy Rain is a conventional graphic adventure in which the greatest weight of its appeal lies in its plot. Perhaps the puzzles are there almost in passing and are not up to what is required of a game of this genre, but knows how to compensate with other virtues, a sensational graphic section and a cast of very professional voices are responsible for completing the attractions of this work.

All in all, Kathy Rain is a top notch game for Nancy Drew fans, mystery lovers or anyone who just loves sassy women on motorcycles.
Despite a few loose ends and some annoyances, Kathy Rain is an intriguing mystery well worth your time.
While it still carries some common adventure game problems, Kathy Rain acts as a nice update to the genre that still looks like a product of the '90s. Adventure game veterans and newcomers should find a lot to love with this one.
Channeling in themes from Twin Peaks, Kathy Rain has its own story to confuse you with.
If you like AGS adventure games, Kathy Rain shouldn't disappoint you. However, I hope that we'll eventually get a sequel that will answer questions raised by the conclusion of the first game.
