    Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture is easily one of the most immersive games I’ve ever played.

    The Chinese Room goes back to its roots of digital storytelling, in a slow-paced sci-fi story delightfully quiet and deep. Probably less original than Dear Esther, but a wonderful and amazing experience nonetheless.

    Those that chose to invest their valuable time in this 5 hour gem will be rewarded with one of the most compelling experiences in recent memory.

    The mystery surrounding the disappearances, and the hearts pulled into the gripping narrative are well-thought-out and beautiful, in an eerie way.

    This game would have been stronger if the world was smaller and more outspoken. But, that is just a minor thing, Everybody's Gone To The Rapture is a great game in which an interesting non-linear story is told in a unique way. Very dreamy.

    There is no doubt that Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is a unique experience. Its problems will probably hamper the experience for some, but visiting the gorgeous English countryside is definitely worth it, especially for the people who have had positive experiences with similar games before.

    It's banal and tedious and if your narrative focused do-nothing game wouldn't work as a halfway interesting short story, then it won't be better just because you force people to walk slowly around a wholly un-interactive game space while you drip-feed them unconnected plot points.

I particularly like the fact that the developers have tried something new and different. I find myself continually thinking about it and pondering its meaning. I believe the slow pace is completely appropriate and fits with what I think they were trying to achieve. I can see that it will not suit everyone, especially people who want clear cut and unambiguous answers. However, I believe that ambiguity is sort of the point of the game. I also believe that the players only limited interactivity in the world is also part of the message.… Expand

    Just wait until the game is free on PS+. It's not really worth the $20.

    The story is serviceable, but... if you enjoy non-linear story    Just wait until the game is free on PS+. It's not really worth the $20.

    The story is serviceable, but... if you enjoy non-linear story telling, you may as well just play Bloodborne.

    There is very little replay value here.    … Expand

    Maledetti bastardi. MALEDETTI.BASTARDI: mi hanno inculato con Dear Esther, mi hanno inculato con questo...ora basta, per me è boicottaggioMaledetti bastardi. MALEDETTI.BASTARDI: mi hanno inculato con Dear Esther, mi hanno inculato con questo...ora basta, per me è boicottaggio puro da adesso in poi; non appena vedrò scritto The Chinese Room anche solo in un angolino non guarderò più nemmeno il trailer. Bastardi.

    Passi il walk simulator, passino i controlli di merda, passi la lentezza estrema del gioco...cazzo il doppiaggio è superbo e la storia ti prende....MA LA TRAMA...perché sempre TRAME DI MERDA??! Perché?!?!

    Nessuno, nessuno...ripeto: NESSUNO sembra interessarsi alla QUALITA' della trama...tutti che elogiano o criticano il gioco a livello tecnico...ma cristo di un dio in croce ma vi sembra normale una trama basata sul fatto che l'estinzione della razza umana la decide una cazzo di scienziata pazza in preda alle mestruazioni che sclera perché il marito si va a bere una birra con una ex e allora via, tutto il mondo a puttane!? Ma porco dio...ma di cosa stiamo parlando qui?? Ma questa è gente da rinchiudere, ma chi l'ha sceneggiata sta roba, la Boldrini?

    Se ne incontro anche uno solo di quelli della Chinese Room gli spacco i denti, giuro. C'hanno la fissa della fine del mondo e del suicidio? Beh gliela giustifico.
    Ma che cazzo...    … Expand
