What Remains of Edith Finch

When playing this, I thought it was gonna be little more than a walking simulator. Instead, I found a tragic yet wonderfully told story of loss. A story for the ages, unable to be told as effectively in any other medium.

Un precioso juego ( cortito eso si). Es un Walking Simulator pero muy emotivo, mucho... Preparad un buen paquete de pañuelos de papel.. Un gran trabajo y un placer adentrarse en el... Gracias por crear cosas así..

Я бы сказала, что это не игра, а прогулка по чужой памяти. Ты просто ходишь по дому, открываешь двери, читаешь дневники. А потом вдруг оказываешься внутри чужой смерти. На пару минут ты становишься тем, кто уже умер. И это странное чувство - знать, что человек мёртв, но видеть мир его глазами. Проклятый род, который умирает один за другим. Каждый раз - новая история. Как рассказать о нескольких поколениях семьи за два часа? Как сделать так, чтобы каждая смерть запомнилась? Это сложно, и здесь мне чего-то не хватило. В целом напоминает «100 лет одиночества» Г.Г. Маркеса. Та же семейная сага, где время идёт по кругу, судьбы повторяются, а одиночество - единственное наследство. Здесь нет врагов и нет сложностей. Ты просто идёшь и наблюдаешь. Иногда становится жутко, иногда грустно, иногда просто пусто. Рекомендую тем, кто готов прожить несколько чужих смертей за один вечер, но я бы сюда не вернулась.

多年以后，站在母亲的坟前，最后一位Finches将会回想起他合上家族日记的那个遥远的下午。

The story deeply resonated with me because of how quickly life can be taken away and how some people spend years trying to escape death, never finding meaning in their lives, while others choose to confront it and live life to the fullest. In a cruel twist of irony, the curse was just a self-fulfilling prophecy. If death hadn't been so romanticized by one member of the family, then maybe everyone would have still been alive, or died of old age, and wouldn't have spent their lives surrounded by constant reminders of it. It is not just a compelling narrative game, but also a thoughtful reflection on mortality, fear, and what it truly means to live. There is also still so much mystery and speculation about the family's deaths and disappearances and what truly happened to them. Alongside the masterclass in environmental storytelling and narrative pacing, the uncertainty is part of what makes the experience feel timeless. Does life really have free will, or is everyone fated to die someday?

What Remains of Edith Finch is one of the finest narrative adventures ever created. It tells an emotional and deeply moving story through a series of unique memories, with each chapter offering a different gameplay style and its own distinctive atmosphere. Its greatest strength is the way it delivers emotion through storytelling, music, and incredible attention to detail. Uncovering the history of the Finch family keeps you engaged until the very end and leaves a lasting impression long after the credits roll. What Remains of Edith Finch is a short but unforgettable experience that perfectly demonstrates how powerful storytelling in video games can be.

If I could only have 1 game for the rest of my life I would pick this one. This is a masterpiece. Im not sure there ever has been or ever will be another game just like it.
