Until Dawn Review | Good Game

Good Game's Bajo and Hex have two very different opinions of Until Dawn.

Wh15ky3932d ago (Edited 3932d ago )

Perhaps it's not for everyone.

I love it, one of the best story based games I've ever played and, I'd also go as far to say, it's the first evolutionary step in gaming that I've experienced so far this gen.

Gazondaily3932d ago

On what basis is it evolutionary? Genuine question. I haven't had a chance to play it yet and know very little about it.

Pintheshadows3932d ago

It is mainly down to the way the choices play out and the way the butterfly effect is implemented. It is much more pronounced than in say, Heavy Rain. It really does change the experience in very big ways.

Gazondaily3932d ago

Ah nice one. Deffo gonna check it out

Wh15ky3931d ago (Edited 3931d ago )

I found that the game took an evolutionary step because it takes the heavy rain-type formula to the next level and IMO that formula should be a big part of the future of all story driven games, whether FPS, TPS, open world, adventure etc.

In most of these types of games the story is just a distraction. It's there to distract you from the fact that all you really have to do is get from point A to point B without dying.

The likes of Heavy Rain and Until Dawn prove that the story can be much more than that.

I also like the clever and subtle uses of the DS4.

That score is out of line with the review they gave. She really liked it in particular but only gave it a 70 in the end.

She also made a comment along the lines of "don't hate me for liking this", which made me wonder if they expected it to be poorly received by other reviewers and kept their scores low to still seem credible

Ocsta3932d ago

These reviews are all over the place. Luckily I don't buy games based on reviews. Case in point, Mad Max.

TripC503932d ago (Edited 3932d ago )

The butterfly effect thing. Would you say it's an important game evolving feature like Shadow of Mordor's Nemisis system? I feel like the Nemisis system was an awesome feature that made the game great. I think the next big step will be crackdown's cloud computing. I love seeing these game changing mechanics this gen! I hope we keep getting surprised.

TeamLeaptrade3932d ago

Yeah it's certainly not for everyone. Some people love the idea of a story driven game like this, but some just want to be more in control of everything.

Script is bad?? Lol what a joke. Go play COD

scark923932d ago

Someone needs to tell them that this has a 'B Movie Script'.

kayoss3932d ago

I dont understand these critics. They know this is a b movie horror base game. Yet they are still surprised by the story after playing it. This game have a better story then most horror movies today. FACT!

Toiletsteak3932d ago

I get that not everyone will like it but, this seems to be a way to just get clicks on your site by reviewing a game and giving it a bad score even though it is getting great reviews.

fermcr3932d ago

So a 5.5 is click bait!
What about a perfect 10, is that click bait?

Wh15ky3932d ago (Edited 3932d ago )

@fermcr

"What about a perfect 10, is that click bait?"

No. I don't know about you, but I don't tend to click on the perfect 10 reviews.

It's like Amazon or Trip Advisor etc, I always bypass all the perfect scores and go straight to the worst reviews to see if the complaints sound justfied.

amiga-man3932d ago

It won't be for everyone, but thats true of any game, the beauty of Sony, they offer such a wide spectrum of gaming, that will appeal to a broad range of gamers.

I thought this was a great game offering something different, even my wife (who doesn't play games) enjoyed it

WeAreLegion3932d ago

Then why did you write it?

TripC503932d ago

Oh snap!

Seriously though. I wish this game would come to Xbox one too.

Dexterio236d ago

Now we're talking! Best month for me this whole year.

Puty236d ago

I am very happy for Tekken 3

Redgrave235d ago

It's not going to get trophies, is it 😕

It's a really solid addition, but I'd love a platinum for it. Same with Soul Calibur 3 if that's really next month.

Deeeeznuuuts235d ago

Yeah, it's a real shame that some publishers still don't add trophies, I mean, even Disney do and they even update games to add them

VersusDMC235d ago

Some PS2 classics have trophies so hopefully Soul Calibur 3 has it.

And ps1 classics not having trophies is dissapointing but at least they give you the new version for free if you bought the old ps1 classic.

I'm confused. Did they contribute to the writing of the movie?

darthv72404d ago

I think the game writes should be glad... the movie is not that good. Its connection to the game is in name only.
