What Remains of Edith Finch Reviews

This game is the most amazing i've ever played. Story 10/10 graphics 10/10 everything just 10/10!!! LOVE IT. I RECOMMEND

A short, but beautiful game told through various styles of storytelling and immersive game play.

Less of a game and more of an interactive (2 hour long) short film. I found the hand-holding game play too frustrating to enjoy the stories.

To start with the positive - the graphics in this game were beautiful. It was immersive and so intriguing and I wish i was able to actually explore every nook and cranny of this house. But this game is strange. It's more of a story than anything, with confusing "games" interwoven between the chapters. The stories themselves are incredibly sad and depressing, and leave many things open to interpretation. If you're looking for an interactive game where you do many different things, this isn't it. But if you want to be told a story about an incredibly unlucky family, presented to you in a pretty package, you might enjoy this. Personally, I do not feel it was worth the time spent or the cost.

It's an emotional story that sometimes hits the right beats and pacing but overall didn't really work for me.

This is the type of game that will make you just sit in silence and soak it all after you finish it. Perfect is the only word that can describe. Well written story, Unique game play and beautiful graphic. The way this game progress is like aging a fine wine. You just let it be while exciting to see what result of the story you will see. Incredible.

WOW just wow... what can i say this game was a surprise the storytelling and the voice acting with the graphics, the cozy house everything from the beginning till the end was perfect, this game was incredible and very interesting I LOVED IT

What Remains of Edith Finch is my absolute favorite game, and I’ve played it at least four times! This game surprises me every time I play it. It has the best story I’ve ever experienced in a game, and honestly, the story is better than any movie I’ve watched. The story is both heartbreaking and beautiful, and at the same time, very magical. It’s a truly unique game with superb storytelling that stays with you through the years. I can't recommend this game enough, and to the person who said, "I don`t have words, why is this family so stupid? This game feels like a bad trip.", I actually think you are the one tripping! :) This game is 10/10 if you enjoy story rich games!

After years of wanting to play this game, I decided to finally play it to get my mind off of recent personal negative events. This story is about a girl named Edith revisiting a house she grew up in to discover the stories of her past relatives and understand why and how they died. It is a story about sadness, hardship, and the curse of the Finch family. While this story might not be for everyone, it's a story that should be remembered in gaming and walking sims. I recommend this game to give it a shot; it's short, and the achievements are quite easy to obtain. As someone who lives in Washington myself, it felt more realistic and immersive, as if this were a place nearby I had visited. I took my time with this game to fully immerse myself in Edith’s story; some took an hour and a half, while I took over 7 to complete. I recommend taking your time as well to appreciate and hear Edith's story of "What Remains of Edith Finch." 8/10 would play again.

[b]Engaging Even After Years[/b] I first played [i]What Remains of Edith Finch[/i] back in 2017 when it launched, and here I am in 2025, still amazed by its uniqueness. Sure, it’s a walking simulator with only about 2 hours of gameplay, but that doesn’t make it any less engaging. Exploring the massive Finch house as Edith feels like stepping into a living, breathing storybook. This unique and emotional game leaves you reflecting long after the credits roll — making you wonder: [spoiler]did the Finches’ obsession with their so-called “curse” make it real, or were their deaths simply a chain of avoidable accidents driven by neglect, bad choices, and underlying psychological conditions like Maladaptive Daydreaming, Avoidant Coping, Delusional Thinking?[/spoiler] It's important to remember that it’s an indie game — short and with limited gameplay. However, if you jump into it with the right expectations and value artistic storytelling and thought-provoking visuals, this game is absolutely worth your time. It may not be the best game out there, but it’s definitely one of the good ones in its weight class. A great game that stands the test of time.
