Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered Reviews

A shit show of horrible camera angles, bland characters, below average story, racial stereotypes that are painful to endure, and a game that has generally aged like milk.

This game has resolution issues with modern systems. I can't play it because it opens with an enormous resolution and can't see the part of the screen that will let me change this. It's clearly a common issue, and there are a lot of potential fixes you can find online, but none worked for me. I can't refund because I bought it as part of a pack. Avoid this game and try Quantic Dream's newer games instead.

This game is just... Something else. If you're considering a purchase, this game is a great night in on sale. (Please, just buy the game for 2$ and play!) Where the game shines is not in its story, or its visuals, not even the gameplay... The comedy is what kept me hooked from the start. Sorta like a shlock horror movie, something not intended to be funny, but is downright hilarious til the end. The hook at the start is incredibly gripping, and felt very, very grounded. This is not the case by the end of the game. Over the course of the game, you'll have stiff interactions, unintentionally HILARIOUS moments of absurdness, and around 30 unanswered questions at almost every stage of the game. The gameplay is all quick time events, which while annoying, aren't the worst. The main QTE system uses both sticks, which was an interesting take imo. However, these often play during action sequences and can make them hard to view it while focusing on the (sometimes really difficult) QTEs. The visuals haven't aged well at all, but in my opinion this adds to the charm/hilarity of the game. Playing this with a few friends, laughing the whole way is the way this game SHOULD be played. To top it off, at the very end of the game, you unlock a shop where you can use bonus points to purchase bonus features. A lot of "making ofs", some joke sequences (which are very funny of course), and one tasteless dance sequence later; you stumble across the hidden treasure... The concept art. This is the part that tears me up, the artists and designers had a VERY clear vision of what this game should be, how it should feel, and the gravity of its plot. Honestly, if it wasn't for the characters being in most of it, you could convince me it was art for an entirely different game! It's so unfortunate that a genuinely interesting idea and gripping concept turned into this meme of a game. Overall, buying this game for a thrilling experience with a gripping plot is a mistake; but buying this game to play in a discord call with a couple of buddies and beers is peak entertainment. It leaves you with a sense of longing, wishing for answers to questions that we may well never have. This game is nothing. It is everything. It is Fahrenheit; The Indigo Prophecy.

Trying to open the game at all either made it so both my screens went black or the game stretched wayyy to far out of the bounds of my screen. Couldn't play it at all but since I got it in a bundle I can't refund 🙄

Начиналось интересно, но к концу скатилось. Сюжет потерял какой-либо смысл, эпизоды едва связаны друг с другом, все концовки одинаковые. QTE бесят невыносимо. Работает игра отвратительно. Оценка: -47.7°C/15 часов кина

[b] “One of the few perfect games ever made.” [/b] -Carl Schmitt Where do I even begin? This game pulls no punches. It’s a constellation of contrasting ideas and themes, crystallized into an incredible gaming experience. One moment I was battling primordial entities and uncovering secrets of a lost civilization. Next thing I knew, I was traveling the frigid streets of New York City while engaged in a cutting exploration of race relations in modern America. This game has it all. Mind powers. Love. Snow. Black people. Necrophilia. [b] “Fuck you. Stupid American pig. Buy my game. I fuck your mother.” [/b] -David Cage

Finally, I beat the game. Not gonna lie, the gameplay here is mostly "Quick Time Events". Also, the controls are clunky, and the game itself crashes a lot on my end. It plays well like an interactive movie, but some of the parts are unintentionally funny for some reason. This story is mostly plot-based. Characters were just there. Most of the endings are just kind of lame? But the reason I'm giving this game a positive review is because it's just entertaining. That's what matters for me, personally.

The beginning and middle are not bad, the music is wonderful, it will appeal to those who like old atmospheric games and games like Heavy Rain or Detroit Become Human. In general, a good game especially for its time.

I have mixed feelings about this game. If there was an ability to leave a neutral review I would definitely use it. The story is worthy, even though it kinda gets worse with progressing and love part is unexplained at all. Not the best story ever, as I have heard before, yet still pretty solid. But omg, these QTEs... Sometimes my sticks were read wrong, leading me to failing more, again and again. However, I assume that one with new gamepad might have better times with them. Some parts are overlingered or exist merely to extend the gametime adding questionable sections with more QTEs. That didn't felt fit with tempo of the story getting unfolded. Instead of optimal (imho) 4 hours the game was extended to 6. I got on well with these old school graphics, and OST music gave the game exactly what it should have given. Moreover, the stunning staging made me wonder if it really was filmed in 2005 as a developer's dubute. Nevertheless, I would recomend just to watch the game on YouTube. 1) You won't have to face these endless sessions of horrible QTEs. 2) You will be able to skip some unnecessary parts or watch them with twice speed. 3) Nothing will bother you from comprehending the story or enjoying staged motion capture and music.

The story starts off rather well but then turns into something ridiculous with just completely awful controls. Also, about a third of the way through the game, the QTE mechanics start to feel like an absolute chore and distracts the player from watching the cut scenes and listening to the dialogue. There are some scenes where the character is just talking to someone and the QTE display that covers the middle of the screen makes you just slowly press different directions. There was no significance to having that there as opposed to just allowing the player to watch the story play out during those scenes. There are many plot holes, forced dialogue or events that are just completely unbelievable, and honestly, I was just happy it was finally over when I beat the game.
