    Until Dawn is a damn near perfect game, which just breathes horror on every level. The game puts you in control of a group of teens and terrifies you while doing so. This is a must have if you own a PlayStation 4.

    The script kept me entertained and feeling like my decisions mattered throughout my 10-hour playthrough. Thanks to some good twists, a few fake-outs, and limitless jump scares, Until Dawn would make a solid horror film. As a piece of interactive fiction, however, it's a remarkable experience that horror fans shouldn't miss.

    Ultimately, Until Dawn is a bold experiment that pays off far more than it doesn’t.

    Until Dawn doesn’t always live up to the potential Supermassive Games envisioned for its ambitious PS4 project, but the game succeeds in enough ways to make it a fascinating and engrossing twist on the horror genre.

    At first glance, a good video game adaptation of the classic horror slasher with outstanding performances, graphic design, and especially huge number of options to help you experience a different story every time you play.

    Despite the stereotypical characters and some uninspired phases, Until Dawn offers an engaging and tense experience, thanks to the good atmosphere and to the moral choices related to the butterfly effect.

    Despite the butterfly effect's premise, a ham-fisted story means you won't care about who might live and who might die. It's not enough to save the game from disappointment, and in the end, Until Dawn is its own self-inflicted nightmare.

    Really great game!. I was having doubts o purchasing this one, luckily it was on holiday sale so i took it. I practically swallowed it in inReally great game!. I was having doubts o purchasing this one, luckily it was on holiday sale so i took it. I practically swallowed it in in only one night! (ironically i played Until Dawn until dawn). Even though It was over in only one night I really enjoyed the experience.
    It should be seen as an interactive movie since there is not much playability and what keeps you playing is the storyline, effects, and characters.
    There is not much re-playable value here, you could unlock all the trophies pretty easily and see all the possible outcomes with 2 o 3 replays.
    Note on the side: Peter Stormare acting is superb!    … Expand

    Tipica película interactiva a la que nos tiene acostumbrados Sony. Al menos el argumento es mejor que las películas de David Cage.
