STN:
Rain will fill you with tension as you try to avoid being seen by the unknown or rush way from them by opening doors or crawling into tights spaces to avoid their grasp. It’s a stunningly beautiful game with hints or Ico and Unfinished Swan, but at the same time there’s nothing quite like it, giving you that distinct feeling that even if you never knew what console this game was running on, you’d know in your heart that it’d be accompanied by the words 'PlayStation'.
What it feels like to be lost in the dark in the puring rain? Well, PSN exclusive Rain might have an answer for that..
CDW:Occasionally the timing of the puzzles can be frustrating, and waiting for your companion to catch up can be tedious, but overall the gameplay is simple and effective. On occasion it feels as though the gameplay sections are in the way of the rest of the game which is a shame but again it’s not enough to spoil the real enjoyment of Rain. Definitely worth a play for anyone interested in an emotion driven platformer with an atmosphere in keeping with Limbo.
Jarrett from IP writes: "rain succeeds in various ways, but fails in the most important ones. It’s a beautiful narrative, presentation, along with an adoring gloom and darkness, but it’s lazy platforming causes uninspired puzzling, and insipid artificial intelligence. These factors hold rain back from being only slightly better than average."
