Critic Reviews for What Remains of Edith Finch
What Remains of Edith Finch is another triumphant effort from Giant Sparrow, complete with an engrossing story, innovative gameplay features, and gorgeous visuals.
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.
An elegiac, memorable and affecting tale of the misfortunes suffered by the members of a deeply eccentric family.
The diversity in the Finches' final moments means you've always got another cool story just around the corner, and Edith's personal journey is also interesting
Giant Sparrow's follow-up to The Unfinished Swan is a beautifully melancholy collection of parables.
Despite being left wanting a bit more, What Remains of Edith Finch is a one of those examples of truly interactive storytelling.
