zeit86geist Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) the cutscene in the mid. of the game, where the father tries to reach out for the son on the ship, was a bummer. but the ending where the father hugs the boy/imagination and the mother joins them (secret ending) and they let his cape flow with the wind hit really hard. especially with the trophy description "To let go - Accept things as they are." what's your opinion on the game especially the ending...

IISkyLanderII Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Whole game is full depression. Only First chapter was bright and possibly normal. If you have a good mood on this day - this game will fix this fast for some players. Maybe this game is - masterpiece in some angles, but not for everyone. ICO - was also little depressive, but way much better. (ICO - because those both are little familiar, only don't think what this is like ICO, this one is about something else....) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenShaka Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Actually the title already spoils. A: Ending discussion (spoilers) could be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanDarko Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Rime is one of the best games i've played in 2017. it took me some time to get into it due to all those riddles ( played without a guide ) but the story is mindblowing and so beautiful. depressive is just one way to look at the events. there is so much more beneath the core of letting someone go. it's the process of dying, of handling death and the philosophical question about "what happens to your soul? is there some kind of a transcendental journey into the beyond?" so thankful for this game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Senor_T_Dub Posted November 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm glad there are developers willing to tell stories that don't have the traditional happy ending. Yes it was sad, but it was also powerful and elicited real emotions. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDragon Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I had a feeling you were playing someone who was already dead, but the ending still hit me emotionally. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

continuum67 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I enjoyed this storyline way more than I thought I would. The ending was great (in terms of how it tied the story together, not in how damn sad it was). I never would have considered playing this game without PS+, so I'm thankful it was free and that I gave it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aZombieDictator Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 This was the only game I've ever played that legit made me cry at the end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
closertim Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Only played the game for the easy trophies. Didn't really have a clue what the story was about to be fair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryfter Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) I started to realize the kid we're playing as, Enu was dead in Chapter four. One of the keyholes showed the "father" on top of the world while the kid was upside, under. All the spirits we were seeing started to make sense.

Popular Post Breakingthegreen Posted February 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2018 I liked how the chapters matched up with the 5 stages of grief in name, trophy, and gameplay. Level 1 - Denial: you repeatedly see the figure in the red coat alive and well despite... well... you know... Level 2 - Anger: you're chased by a bird that seems to have a vendetta against you. Level 3 - Bargaining: you are required to get the assistance of the sentinals to help you to complete the puzzles. Level 4 - Depression: it's raining and your usual shout and hum button is replaced with a small whimper. Level 5 - Acceptence: when the father lets go of the scrap of coat, it can also be seen in at the end of chapter 4 with the boy jumping into the stars. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charizarzar Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 This isn't my kind of game so it took me a while to get into it (I started liking it more after the sentinels were introduced) but the ending really hit me lol. I kind of had an inkling about what the ending might have been since someone in the youtube comments section for one of the chapter guides unintentionally spoiled the ending by saying they thought Enu was dead or in limbo. I wasn't expecting it to be about the father though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike-Runner Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Rime was a great game, I enjoyed the journey of what the main character went through, having the fox guide you and sentinel protect you and sacrifice himself to let you continue your journey the thing that really bugs me is what is this journey for. Is it to find his way into the afterlife with his mother ( secret ending ) or the chapters represent his fathers emotions which brings the things that the kid goes through.

I think the journey represents the connection between the father and the son. Father can't let go of the dead son and the son can't let go of the father and he is not ready to go to afterlife. As the player character/ the son travels trough the limbo, the stages of fathers grief change until the son sets his fathers mind free from the chains. At the end father accepts his sons death cause he knows that the son is with her mother again, united in afterlife. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internet is flooded with people that got the whole thing many hours before the end. I didn't play it looking for an emotional connection, in fact I always felt that the game was forcing me to feel something, so I think that that prevented me to get the whole thing until the very end.
