pinkrobot_pb Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I thought... Spoiler ... the chapters had some pretty weird names, but in the end I realized that it was all about the five stages of grief and that you were playing through them as a character that was not even alive anymore. Maybe you need to have experienced a great loss to really appreciate that? For one I welcome a game that dares to touch on such a theme. Add to that the nice art style and some nice puzzle gameplay and I think you end up with a pretty decent game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ_Radio Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) It's technically a walking simulator style game. If you enjoyed stuff like Dear Esther, Valley, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Journey, Vanishing of Ethan Carter and the like you'll probably enjoy Rime. To me this is just too boring. The last walking simulator style game I played was Valley, at least it has some fun parts with running and jumping. Rime was designed to take in the sights and feel the atmosphere and story which isn't quite obvious until later on. Not my type of game, but nonetheless I'll just play this game a bit later because I can't be bothered to finish it right now.

Rime is miles better than the other games you mentioned, but Rime definitely has some gameplay issues. Yeah, it's just plain boring as there's not strong enough gameplay elements, and the story is also as you say, not apparent before late in the game. In other words, very little to drive you and little to do until you get there. There's absolutely no cost to dying or failing. Nothing really challenging, just obtuse puzzles.

In my opinion, Rime is very mediocre (and I wouldn't classify it as part of the genre that some people call "walking simulator"), Everybody's Gone To The Rapture is pretty good for one playthrough, and both Journey and The Vanishing Of Eathan Carter are great. Rime isn't in the same league as any of those. I wouldn't go as far as calling Rime a shit game but in my opinion it's definitely not a good game.

Vanishing of Ethan Carter was merely okay, but it doesn't do anything that Dear Esther already did before. Rime is just boring. Already ran into an obtuse puzzle that took me 30 minutes to solve, so there's that. Thank god I didn't have to pay anything for this game because I got it through Plus. But this will probably be the last "walking simulator" type game I'll play for quite a while. Easy, but not exactly fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charizarzar Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Since it’s being brought up I preferred Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture because the story was interesting to me throughout. Actually the only things I didn’t like about that game were the walking pace and the books trophy. Both of those games were pretty stunning to look at imo, so they have that going for them too.

cyberFUTUR3 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Good game but a bit hard to understand. It should help the player a little more to undertsand what to do, how to do it and why. I felt lost after the first levels. But I loved the artistic direction and the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killbomb Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) I liked the game but getting those collectibles was a real hassle to me.

Neef-GT5 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Now that I’ve been through the game I can say I could not agree less. First because the game is pretty decent. Gameplay does not reinvent the wheel and the camera sometimes sucks, but I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the story is quite good - you really have to complete a first playthrough to grasp it. The end is quite heart-breaking for whoever is a parent... Second because the platinum is only easy with a guide. Many collectibles are extremely well hidden and some contextual trophies are really not self-explanatory. I made my first playthrough blind and missed most of these. Not the game of the year but quite enjoyable. Anyone who enjoyed games like Journey should go for it.

PhantomFear94 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 RiME is one of my favourite indies. It isn't incredible from a gameplay perspective, but its lore, world design, art, and pacing are all spectacular. 9/10 for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitter_Dill Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 RiME is not your typical game and you don't play it because of the game mechanics which could be better. The game has a really strong point and you should read a creative director's explanation of the story. Maybe then you will appreciate it more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
