Heavy Rain Reviews

Very good game, I was at the edge of my seat the entire story. The soundtrack is really really good at setting the mood.

Amazing game, ive played through it plenty of times in the past on Playstation and just purchased it on my new comp, amazing story telling , real choices lead to real consequences. must buy !

Heavy Rain is an intense, story-driven thriller that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Pros ✅ Great Story – The mystery keeps you guessing, with twists that make every decision feel important. ✅ Suspenseful – Tension builds up throughout, leading to a thrilling climax. ✅ Engaging Choices – Your actions shape the story, adding replay value. ✅ Runs Well on Steam Deck – Smooth performance, making it great for handheld play. Cons ❌ Clunky Controls – Some movements feel awkward and frustrating. ❌ QTE Issues – Quick Time Events can be tricky to execute, sometimes breaking immersion. Final Verdict Great story, a few clunky controls, but totally worth it—especially on sale!

Animation has not aged well. First hour was a little rough however after that, the story becomes very gripping and a little raw. Game ran just fine, no bugs or stutters. I played with a controller myself however can be done with keyboard as i know that may be preference for others on this type of game. I give it a solid 7/10.

buggy af and several plot holes. I grit my teeth through the whole thing hoping it would get better. it didn't.

The gameplay was secondary to me, it's a narrative game. But the story is unbelievable stupid, which made me really hard to enjoy it. At some point in time I checked "How long to beat" and decided to see the rest of the story, as it was not much. Regretted the decision. There is a cliffhanger, but the only thing you can say it when you reach it is "seriously??" Plus many, many completely dumb screenplay events. I think there are better story-telling games which means this one can be skipped.

Bardzo dobra gra. Fabuła niesamowicie mnie wciągnęła, naprawdę nie wiem kiedy minął ten czas, zakończenie było dla mnie szokujące i to właśnie też skradło moje serce. Jedyne co mi się nie podobało było sterowanie i kamera. To było upierdliwe, ale poza tym to masterpiece

The graphics haven’t aged particularly well, character movements can feel awkward in certain cutscenes, and the voice acting occasionally breaks immersion. However, from a video game standpoint, the story is great. If you analyze the narrative on its own, it has its flaws. But the ability to interact and make decisions makes you feel truly involved—more so than in games with stronger narratives but less emphasis on player choice. Overall, it’s an experience I’ve enjoyed and one I’d recommend. P.S.: If you plan to play with a controller, be sure to use the community layout—playing without it is frustrating.

It was great on PS3, but on PC this shit is unplayable. They even didn't try to fix control.

After many years and multiple playthroughs, I still love this game. Sure the dialogue doesn't hold up and I started to realize why people complain about David Cage's writing, but the game is still awesome. The technology at the time was groundbreaking and I'm surprised with the leap in technology between this and Fahrenheit. Do be aware that there is annoying bug if you want to play with a controller. Since mouse+keyboard was absolutely atrocious with controlling the character, I swapped over to an Xbox controller (which felt weird since this used to be a PS exclusive). Unfortunately the right stick QTEs would be hypersensitive and wouldn't register. Thankfully there's a fix if you search in the controller mapping that someone uploaded to a forum on here. Once you get that figured out, the game is worth experiencing.
