contestgamer on 14 August 2015

78 is far from well, i don't even consider anything under 80 as playable and wont buy anything below that treshold. lot of others i know do the same.

Since when is a 78 on metacritic a good score? 78 sounds like a mediocre game.

In Metacritic if a minority thinks the game is shit and give it some terrible scores, it doesn´t matter that the 80% of reviews thinks is very good, is gonna end below the 80. So it deppends on the game, but a 78 is not a bad score this days, at all.

Anyways I do think this is a mediocre game, but not because Metacritic.

So, did you play it yet? What's so bad about it? Not like it will change my opinion (less than 80, no buy) but I'm curious to know.

illl wait till its free on ps plus or drops to $5 before biting on it. $20 is a little steep for a walking simulator

Reviews make it seem like a decent PS+ game to download. Guess I will wait for that. Shame, there was a lot of hype for this one (for a downloadable title).

It seems to have surpassed expectations, rather than not have met them which is the picture you're trying to paint.

No, I watch it on a live streaming from a friend, normally I don´t think that´s the best way to judge a game since you need to feel the controls in your hands, but since there is no gameplay at all in this one I really don´t need to play it.

The game is really boring, I exposed the reasons few comments before:

"However in Everyone is gone to the rapture the only thing you do is walk and listen other people stories, there is almost no interactivity at all, to find something interesting you need to walk and walk and walk because everything is too big and empty so you are bored half of the game, you listenstories from characters that you don´t know and you don´t care at all, not only because they are assholes, but because you only see little glimpses of their lives and that´s it, you never connect with anyone, in Everybody is gone to the rapture there is a heavy backtracking that makes you walk even more in a game where you spend all time... walking, and the game has exactly the same tone from the beginning to the end, making it boring as hell at the first 2 hours."

The story is kind of interesting and the graphics are very good, that´s the best thing I can say about it.

Ewww! Sounds very bad, I'll wait till it's on PS Plus to try it out.

The atmosphere is great too, and it does what it does well, but yeah it could be boring if you play for more than an hour at a time.

I'm enjoying the game and atmosphere but it has some flaws.

The slow run speed and even slower acceleration puts a damper on exploration. I like to explore the whole map yet I find myself desperately holding onto R2 not to lose momentum and have to start up again. It's the dumbest system ever. Plus another game where the character gets stumped by low fences. Oh everybody is gone, but I'll respect these little picket fences and not climb over when its locked...

There is no in game map (but plenty you are here maps scattered around) I took some screenshots of those maps so I can quickly switch back and forth to the screenshot with a double tap of the ps button to orientate myself. Too bad ps4 doesn't have a little paint program so I can draw in short cuts.

The worst offender is the lack of save and quit. It only saves after you activate and listen to one of the story orbs by tilting the controller. You could be exploring for an hour or more without a save ever triggering.

The attention to detail is great, music and sound are excellent. Surround sound for once sounds natural when you turn around with voices panning around you, and works very well to locate a ringing phone or radio. Why do so many games get that wrong...
