Game Rec: What Remains of Edith Finch

[rocky41_7]

I know this game came out years ago, but if you missed the initial hype train (as I did) allow me to recommend it again. I played this game last month and I think What Remains deserves the praise it got on release. The game description from Steam is:

What Remains of Edith Finch is a collection of strange tales about a family in Washington state. As Edith, you’ll explore the colossal Finch house, searching for stories as she explores her family history and tries to figure out why she's the last one in her family left alive.

I did a longer review on my blog, highlights below.

Recommend if you:

• Like emotional stories in your games
• Are not looking for combat/action
• Enjoy multigenerational stories
• Like slow games

Do not recommend if you:

• Prefer lots of combat or puzzles
• Prefer a fast-paced story
• Value gameplay over story
• Are not in the mood for sad stories

I thought it was really lovely! And they did a great job of making each story feel unique in terms of style.
