Heavy Rain Reviews

The game holds up pretty well for how old it is. The story is solid and makes sense. The plot twists were a bit predictable, but that’s not an issue for me. My only major complaints are the awkward camera angles throughout the game (a little worse than in modern games like Detroit Becomes Human or The Quarry) and that, like most story-driven games, it feels more like a very interactive movie rather than an interactive video game (if that makes sense???).

I played this game after experiencing disappointment with the unoptimized compatibility of "Beyond: Two Souls" on the Steam Deck. Unfortunately, I had to stop playing after less than 15 minutes because it had the same issues as "Beyond: Two Souls”, compounded by poor voice acting and a lack of engagement. While the game may improve later, the first few minutes are crucial for me. The trailer had given me a completely different impression of the game. In the end, I requested a refund.

This game should not be steam verified , gyro controls doesn’t work and makes the game impossible to play

Controls in this game are terrible, what makes it umplayable. Idk who the fuck thought this will be good idea. Skip

10/10. absolute masterpiece. life changing game. ethan mars best dad. norman jayden real proud fbi. madison paige badass woman. goshhh what a heart wrenching story... so beautiful... would do anything to play this game for the first time again.

I really want to recommend the game, but port is poor. Not only controls are bad (I will never forget tunnels in the second trial) but I also had a problem with the infinite loading screen multiple times and only verifying the integrity of game files can help you, so you have to close this game each time and wait some time when all files will be verified. By the way, just two days ago I finished playing Beyond: Two souls and with even less informative tutorial I was feeling more comfortable in that game than in Heavy Rain.

This is the worst narrative experience one can ever have in the medium of video games. David Cage does it again. -- Edit hours update -- -- Edit hours update -- I have finished heavy rain, once again. This time on pc. This is the worst narrative experience one can ever have in the medium of video games. One of the finest comedies ever released.

6.5/10 整体来说很值得游玩体验，但是也槽点满满，玩起来有让人很恼火的地方，尤其是对于想收集全结局的玩家来说。 最出色的部分是QD引以为傲的交互性戏剧设计和电影镜头式的故事叙述，节奏氛围和QTE融合得恰到好处，各种情绪表现得非常立体非常沉浸，包括深呼吸时抖动的QTE还有控制移动的速度，沉浸感拉满了。尤其考虑到是2010年的游戏，在交互性体验上已经是开拓性的尝试了。 剧本挺吸引人的，折纸杀手加上暴雨的环境设定很吸睛，但是但是但是！！！剧本逻辑上的bug一箩筐，甚至大部分是非常明显的矛盾还有强行塞进来的关键线索，故事细节不到位内容比较粗糙经不起推敲。整体体量不大但是前半段节奏太过平缓了。角色设置和定位也有点问题，Norman和Madison两个人开挂属性有点太高了尤其是Madison，妥妥工具人毫无成长曲线... 编剧八成是把 Mrs. Mars忘了，没头没尾，中间还冷不丁来背刺一下Ethan强行推进故事线。 最后再说一下操作问题。大概因为是PS上的游戏所以steam兼容非常一般，手柄需要调整死区才能使用不然很多操作做不了。其次汉化是有点小typo以及翻译错误的。还有就是游戏本身的视角转换真的很让人火大！！！经常自动180度换角度导致人物本来直线前进变成来回踱步真的非常讨厌。再有可能比较苛刻地来讲，没有手动存档地自由， 所以全结局做得很痛苦。如果一开始就想白金建议直接看着攻略玩吧，不然很可能要从头开始打好多次，游戏内没有快进和跳过剧情，所以会反反复复原速看没有意义的片段。 但是即使缺点这么多还是挡不住游玩内刺激的剧情体验还有想知道真相的好奇心，所以还是推荐尝试的

I've been playing computer games since I was five. In 27 years, only two games have left me so glued to my seat that I had to recover. One of them is Heavy Rain. I missed it earlier - I only played it now, looking for something calm that I could pause when my 5-week-old son wakes up. In the Steam library - hundreds of titles, many unplayed. Among them, the forgotten Heavy Rain. The game presents the stories of 4 characters that can be controlled. Each one aims to catch a child kidnapper. One of them is the father of 10-year-old Shaun - a child who disappears under unexplained circumstances. The father loses his memory, has flashbacks. It's a psychological thriller in the form of an interactive movie. QTE reactions and most importantly - decisions. The game doesn't forgive mistakes. I thought I would get it on the first try - almost everyone died. This made me want to learn the story a second time, play the game again, with different decisions and with greater attention. This isn't a game - it's emotional destruction. Losing a child. Addiction. Betrayal. Death. Decisions that will break you. Pros: - Emotions - You don't play this game, you experience it - Engaging story - Interestingly written scenario - I think 17 endings, depending on the decisions you make - Despite the linear story, a lot of freedom in action - A game on sale can cost as much as a pack of cigarettes (so for me, who hasn't smoked for 2 years, it's actually better to buy the game). - I know that for many players this matters, so yes... there are tits in one of the chapters too. Cons: - Only PC controls... it's a sad joke. After connecting a controller or launching on Steam Deck, it's fine. - I played on medium, so the graphics are crap for me (I'm skipping it, but I'm putting it in the cons because I don't know if it looks better higher up).

This game has genuinely got some of the most god awful voice acting, controls and movement I have seen in a very, very long time. You will need to download an alternate controller setup because the default makes it impossible to progress. The story is good, though. Just watch a playthrough on youtube and save yourself the time and money.
