What Remains of Edith Finch Reviews
View All (108 total)An elegiac, memorable and affecting tale of the misfortunes suffered by the members of a deeply eccentric family.
Though it only took me just under two hours to complete, the second the credits stopped rolling I immediately restarted What Remains of Edith Finch. Each of the vignettes is so distinct and surprising that I didn't have enough time to absorb and dissect what I had just played before being whisked away to the next one. But after fully piecing together the threads of the family and sifting through the allegories of their final moments, I was left with a beautiful, heartbreaking mosaic that exudes life, even when mired in death.
Touching, sad, and brilliant; a story worth forgiving the limited interactivity to experience.
A compelling story well told, and although it's still not very interactive the variety and artfulness of the presentation feels like something only a video game could do.
