Currently £14.99 on Steam. I guess this is the cheapest it has ever been. Beautiful game. It has got very positive reviews everywhere; (10/10) on Steam, 8.8/10 IGN, 9/10 Polygon, 88 metcritics. I even found Mark Cerny, the lead Architect of PS4 has been playing it recently, haha.
What Remains of Edith Finch is a collection of strange tales about a family in Washington state.
As Edith, you’ll explore the colossal Finch house, searching for stories as she explores her family history and tries to figure out why she's the last one in her family left alive. Each story you find lets you experience the life of a new family member on the day of their death, with stories ranging from the distant past to the present day.
The gameplay and tone of the stories are as varied as the Finches themselves. The only constants are that each is played from a first-person perspective and that each story ends with that family member's death.
Ultimately, it's a game about what it feels like to be humbled and astonished by the vast and unknowable world around us.
Created by Giant Sparrow, the team behind the first-person painting game The Unfinished Swan.
REVIEWS
“Succeeds in recreating the childhood joy of reading a book and being utterly transported into its pages.” 5/5 – The Guardian
“Edith Finch earned every tear, every laugh and every moment of joy.” Recommended – Rock Paper Shotgun

You can run in rapture. I only found out after completing it on my first run. Think you keep R2 pressed.

I wouldn't call Rapture tedious but I realise it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Heat. Game looks great too, worth giving the developers the money instead of PS+ing it for free at some point.

These type of games usually only merit a single playthrough - this one is different then mate? Having said that, a lot of people wouldn't play Firewatch more than once, yet I have.

Have some heat, not meaning to be a cheapskate but personally I'll wait for a further drop on this one, I have plenty to keep me going :laughing:

It is not mentioned in the title of that post. You are allowed to post it as an individual post and it won't be counted as spam. :smile: The post is not going to hurt anyone, it will just gives the opportunity to many who have not heard about it to do a search for it at least.
