This game really made me *FEEL* like everyone was gone to the rapture.

You had some music in this video that I don't believe was in the game, do you know what this is?

Anyone Here Because Of PS Plus?

I can't believe they still haven't patched in a slightly faster walking speed. C'mon.

beautiful graphics. Imagine this with oculus rift

anyone here cause it's coming out on PS plus next month?

Great game. It just goes to show you don't need a gun in every game for it to be good.

People judge the game just cause of these KZfaq video. The game is awesome

it's refreshing to see a game set in the British countryside

2:28 "It took me a few hours to actually wrap my head around this form of interaction." The uber complicated interaction that involves pressing "X" on your controller and tilting it left and right to hit the sweet spot. It's very complicated. not for the faint of heart.

Anyone who doesn't give this game a chance is judging this game based solely on looks. The story in this game was one of the best stories I've ever experienced since The Last of Us. The mystery and intrigue is what kept me playing this game. I needed to know what happened.

Don't judge this game because of all the walking, I thought it would be boring too. I was wrong. The script and acting was brilliant. It drags you in to find out what the hell is going on. It's not for the action or shooter gamers out there, but it's different and does draw you into the game the more you play, as you want to find out what's happened. A big thumbs up from me 👍.

this game was huge, i recently beat it and im left with this sadness, bitterness...i dont know how to explain the exact feeling but damn, this game is something that will make you think.

*Sigh* I guess people can't appreciate games that have art/story and innovation.

The sound and music of this game literally took my breath away. It was beautiful to the point of bringing tears to my eyes. I can completely understand why someone wouldn't like this, but people who judge it without giving it a try are morons.

8.5/10 too much walking

This is a game you play just for the pure experience that the plot gives you. It wont give you a thrill or fill your action desires but this is the kind of game which ,given a chance and enough time, will stay with you for a long time just because of its story. I love games like this, they're a very welcome brake from the usual.

I stumbled across this game in a PS Now trial and its unexplainable how it made me feel once I started it. So many emotions really, couldn’t tell whether I should be on edge of fear, sadness, or just flabbergasted by how beautiful the scenery and angelic music came together. I want this to be a real place and want to know the characters more....and actually see them, but you don’t! Truly my favorite game! If there was only a way to eliminate the orb that seems to aggressively rush you through, it would make you feel like you’re in a dream

Who else is here because of ps plus????

Where are the kill streaks?

You'd think the devs made the sprint button because they were bored taking ages to test and they forgot to disable it

The Chinese Room really excel in story and mystery. I loved Dear Esther and Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs despite the minimal interaction.

The flu signs and quarantine signs are very creepy rn.

I love it when a game drops that requires the player to actually think for once so they can get the story for themselves. Its brilliant to read the comments and see those moaning and knocking the game. They have no idea that they are actually publicly admitting that they don't have the intelligence to grasp these kinds of games.

I wasn't intrigued by this game at the beginning. I didn't know much about it and it basically came out of nowhere. It took me a while to buy it, but after I did I was glad I made the right choice. This game is gorgeous to look at, the story is gripping, the music is phenomenal and it's just a well made game. As the review said, it is very slow when walking and the game doesn't help you when doing things. There's a lot of collectibles and if you miss even one, you're screwed as it doesn't tell you which ones you've collected. If you have a PS4 and are into games with a great story, I highly recommend this game.

PSN you failed me again...

This game was amazing, major props to people who had made it incredibly beautiful

they should've gone to Colombia

this game really got me. i think i was in the perfect mindset to experience it when i did. the movement speed didnt bother me all that much because i was really trying to take in every detail and explore every corner. some awesome moments that were sad but somehow so beautiful. i loved it

So GONE HOME, but outside.

Being able to stumble upon the finale is something I like. You could do that in Gone Home too. Just goes to show how much exploration enriches a story.

PsPlus ftw Boss.

For me, the movement speed was unfortunately so slow it got in the way of truly enjoying the game for its other qualities. It got to the point where I simply looked for the shortest route to the end, so that I wouldn't have to trudge endlessly through the game.

I'll pass. I'm not about to be walking slow for five hours.

It's really really sad that so much people are judging the game because of the walking speed... I played it when it first came out, finished it, absolutly loved it! And this week I finished the platinum and they DID fastened the speed and tbh, if they made the walking speed anymore fast than this, it would take away the feeling of emotion and immersion imo. I still come back to this game so many times and you just have to appreciate it for the style it has, sadly many cannot see that bc it's all about gameplay these days and not content. This game is a gem ❤

After playing for awhile and having been through a few conversations, these ghostly figures of the characters are creeping me out. I was fascinated at first but every time they spawn to act out their past, it's creepy to me.

Fam said it took him hours to get used to the controls

Next month, PSN subscribers will have the chance to watch paint dry!

When you realise the reason Lizzies ball of light has a little ball of light attached with it :'( this game doesn't leave you even once you've stopped playing!

This is a complete story, very rich, very emotionally attaching and makes you feel like a director without any of the hard work.

we dont play as kate you fools. its been lizzie all along. she broke that stupid leg of hers and thats why we the player walk at a snail's pace for the whole game. Mystery solved :)

You cant spell "ignorant" without "gno"

The Chinese Room is the father of walking simulators. Dear Ester was a mod they made for Half-Life 2. Without Dear Ester and Everyone's gone to the rapture, we wouldn't have games like 50mm, or any other walking simulators out there.

Completed this in 3 hrs, lovely looking game in the country side. Didn't really grasp the story though tbh! For example who was the walker? What was the light? How was it possible to see ghosts? Where did they all go? What exactly was the rapture? What exactly was the intelligence? And so on

the game visually looks great, but the gameplay/lack there of looks uninteresting

The only gripe I had with this game was the damn slow walking, particularly when going for the platinum trophy (which I got) or tracking back to other areas. Other than that, for those who enjoy well written, mystery filled story-driven games, this is a masterpiece. A word I don't throw around often. The story is incredible. Visuals are exceptional. And the soundtrack... Heavenly is the most fitting word.

We are in a world that wonderfully depressing is a good thing. wow.

Can't wait for a youtuber to play so I can watch. Come on Danny and Arin!

This comment section gave me aids...

is it a game or do you just walk around. Looks like you just walk something a old person can play.

Those saying this game is a disappointment are the same ones who think movies without shooting and explosions are boring.

I played it through and am still looking for the game play. Great graphics, great music, atmosphric but just soooo slow and nothing to do but follow the story. Sorry, but I just found it dull.

and in 17 days, we have another exclusive coming out. But were the one who's sparse.

Something like this but with scary ghosts and haunted location would be nice too!

I think the deeper meaning behind the game is that the afterlife is nothing to worry about because everything that once lived is still there just in another form, stay blunted.

Not gonna bother with this, crap ps+ for November

Was looking for a legitimate review. Thought I found one... Then I realised what channel I was on... Oh well. It's a nice ad. :) haha

Review Summary: This game got nothing going for it in terms of quality gameplay of any kind as you'd expect for being a "video *GAME*", but were gonna give it a pass and just rate it a solid score because it had a semi decent story and just for the sake of it being an "artistic fresh game title". We (or rather just me that is...) wouldn't recommend getting this at full price, maybe at a discount or as a free PS+ title?

I've never before have played a game that has made me feel more alone, and I know this is going to be an unsettling feeling for a lot. However realize that the light is youre ally and you can experience the memory and actions of youre fellow neighbors in this beautiful village. I hope I kept this spoiler free but this game will have you questioning who the writer is and where the people exactly are....which is a question you don't want to acknowledge till the end of the game

OK... But what are the kill streaks?

am I the only one who doesnt understand ign's rating system

This game goes great with some kind bud and a rainy Saturday afternoon.

Indie games like this are so cool and unique and one of the main reasons I love video games. People that have play stations and xboxes can both realize that video games are amazing. Why does their have to be constant fighting. People say people who have Xbox don't appreciate indie games but I got an xbox one and instead of saying to my parents I got the console I didn't prefer I just shut up and was glad I got a new system, so let's stop being team pc master race or team ps4 or team Xbox and let's just be gamers.

It took you 4 hours to figure out how to tilt a motion sensitive controller? And patience is key for this ...that for which most in the comments lack up lol

"for 5 hours" mainly because you are walking about a dull arse village that even the inhabitants got bored and buggered off

Fantastic game. Great visuals, audio, bespoke soundtrack which is out of this world. Proper voice actors. Probably the best game ever to play on the PS4.

This is the type of game I don't want to spoil. I watched a gameplay video from the developers months ago, and I knew I needed it then. Thankfully I've forgotten much of the details. A skim through a few parts of this video were all I needed to know I should stop typing and go download this. Thanks.

now way im getting this even for free. if i wanna take a walk i go outside.

I was falling alseep in my chair

I pretty much agree with the reviewer. The music was hauntingly beautiful it gave me chills at some points in the game. The graphics/setting were perfect and nice to look at. I will add that the voice acting was phenomenal. Some of the best voice work in a videogame. It felt tangible in the sense that there were no character animations but the voice was enough to get a feel of the characters. I do agree that the walking is slow and that 'sprint' walk is not that much of a help but I came to realize that if it were any faster the atmosphere of the game would be lost. This is not a run and shoot game.

played the game all the way through, the game play is super simple, but the graphics and story behind it is amazing. absolutely gripping. basically like a slightly interactive play

Yes. Now i can play a game thats is just 5 hours of walking. 10/10

why buy a game where i walk around an explore. Rather go outside and explore the woods.

Since I was such a huge fan of gone home and the way it delivered the story and the pacing of it I feel I'll love this game

I don't agree on this being just 8.5! I have played many different styles of games and wouldn't class one like this to be my favourite style. But i've played this game four times now. And every time I learned more into everybodys lives. I mainly played it this many times to also complete trophies. This is the very first game that ive ever gone and tried to do any trophy for never mind the fact I got the platinum for it. Sheets the move realistically to you walking through them. Wheat bending out of the way as you walk through it. Very few bugs from the release. Best music soundtrack ever to be found in a game that merges perfectly with its story, setting, lighting and characters! This game could never have a sequel. Its like a interactive visual audio book. My girlfriend who doesn't play games at all loves this game for its context, concept and calm playing. I recommend this game to everyone. I was wary about buying it thinking it could be a waste of money. But now...I don't think they are charging enough. 9.8/10

This game is amazingly beautiful. Everyone should play it. Not every game has to be a shooter.

anyone know if they patched the "running" option?

Started playing this game last night as its free on PS plus. I absolutely love it. You just have to sit back, be patient and enjoy it.

I made a sarcastic remake to my friend when he told me about this being free ps+ I said "is it one of those games where you walk for 5 hours towards the horizon then pick up a stick and as the credits roll you contemplate the meaning of life, see Jesus and are reborn a vegan?"

I thought it said "everybody's gone to Rapture" and was like"oh cool a new Bioshock game XD"

I would rather read a book than "play" a walking simulator.

This game reminds me of Dear Esther. I can't wait to play this.

hoping someone could give me advice. is this worth the money and do you complete the game very quickly? I saw this come up under just for you on ps4 and it looked really cool!!

ps plus ?

Obtained as part of PS+ figuring it may be interesting. After 2 hours, I was right - it's interesting crap. Avoid like the plague.

I wish this was on the Switch ☹️ it looks beautiful!!

Beautiful graphics of a quaint English town in a valley coupled with absolutely breathtaking bg music makes this game so riveting. The individual stories of characters intertwined in poignant moments and the inclusiveness the games makes you feel like you're in them will make the memory of this game stay with you for a long time just like any well written books or movies would do. The absolutely simple gameplay, or if I may say the lack of it, makes this game perfect to justify that you, the gamer, has no responsibility of what happened to the residents of the town. And I'm only halfway into the game!! 🤣 LOVE IT!!

I was bored early and it was free.. I ended up so agonizingly bored 10 minutes into it, I decided to read a book.

yep, here for ps plus

It has no guns to fire, it has no ship to pilot, no sharp weapons or jump scares or cars to drive. But... it has a story to tell In some amazing environments. .... might have to think outside the box to play this.

8.5 out of 10? I'm assuming that's actually the score for how painful your hand cramps holding down the R2 trigger for 5 hours to get the character to slowly walk around the map instead of crawling. Or maybe it's a 7.5 with a bonus point for having to sit through 10 minutes of unskippable credits at the end. I'm pretty sure they credited the guy who brought them pizza one day.

Cons: not actually a game.

Marty why do you get constipated when you review games?

I downloaded this purely because it was free with PlayStation Plus however, I ended up enjoying this game a lot more than I thought I would, my only criticism like in the review, is the movement speed really is slow, however, ignoring that I ended up going through this game a couple of times so I could get the platinum trophy, as well as, taking my time to just stand in various locations around the area just to enjoy the great views and relaxing pace, for me this game is 8/10 and certainly worth playing all the way through at least once just to experience it

This game would be way better as a VR release. If you like slow paced ‘games’ this game is for you.

I really liked this game if only the walking was faster

8.5 out of 10. You're too slow!!! - Sonic

And that's why I love Playstation. Because it gives me the option to play these types of games. Instead of the same old franchises over and over again. because Playstation takes Indies like Gone to the Rapture and gives the developer a chance to realize their creation on a fantastic piece of hardware. Well done Sony! August has produced two fantastic exclusives in God of War and Rapture and now we can look forward to the exciting Until Dawn at the end of the month. Not bad for a system that has no games hey?

i think the movement speed is part of the game, its like "why hurry, theyres knowone else nothing left" so the character you play simply slodges its way through the town knowing there is no sence in hurrying.

If you completed this game hold this L , ain't nobody have time for that
