ThisThis game knows exactly what it wants to be and it does it perfectly. The story and atmosphere are simultaneously whimsical and haunting. This is where the main entertainment of this game stems from, and it can somewhat easily be converted into a movie, but the interactivity that gaming allows for makes the story-telling especially unique. The story-telling is amplified even more by the variety of gameplay styles, the motion and appearance of the text, and the variety of story-telling techniques. At the same time, I understand why people would not like this game. It's very short, only around three hours, and the gameplay is not the focus. If you go in expecting some kind of in-depth, complex gameplay, you're in the wrong place. However, if you go in lacking any expectations or looking for a solid story, this is an experience unlike any other. I have a lot more to say about this game, but it's much better if you experience it for yourself.… Expand

This is indisputable proof to those that believe video games aren't art that they are quite mistaken. An example of how to do a "walking simulator" correctly. Heavy focus on story and exploration (although quite linear, it still feels self guided).… Expand

IBeautiful moving thought provoking and totally charming in every way. This is a very singular experience in gaming and not to be missed. I suppose there are some who will not enjoy this very special game but I am sure those people won't even consider playing it anyway. For those of you curious or on the fence I highly recommend this game. Totally loved every minute and would love to elaborate but would hate to spoil the experience for anyone. Just lovely!… Expand

   WREF involves very little gaming, per se, or any gamefulness for that matter; neither does it deliver story with a mystery to solve in aWREF involves very little gaming, per se, or any gamefulness for that matter; neither does it deliver story with a mystery to solve in a conventionally satisfying way. If you are intolerant of games that ignore these standards, steer clear. Yet it excels as a new kind of animal: an interactive movie with startlingly imaginative play modes (you get to live out a panel-by-panel comic book, eat humans as a sea monster, make bath toys ballet as a baby) and a novel, beautiful rumination on life, including an inventive twist on the main farce of video games: death and the infinite respawn. It also is quite possibly the best video game simulation of family-inherited madness that's ever been made.
   
   An unfortunately short experience, it is nevertheless an engaging, if not engrossing, long afternoon unto evening. For anyone looking for game design that pushes ideas to the fore, this one's worth the money, the try, and the reflections.… Expand

En effet, ce qui nous pousserait àDans le genre "simulateur de promenade", Ce qui reste d'Edith est sans aucun doute l'un des plus mauvais... En effet, ce qui nous pousserait à se promener dans cette baraque improbable et complètement fantaisiste est tout-à-fait absent. D'abord parce que ce n'est pas crédible une seule seconde ; ensuite parce que même en tant que pure fantaisie, c'est tout simplement idiot et niais ; enfin, parce qu'on s'en fout totalement.
   
   On se fout de cette famille de frappadingues et autres névropathes, de ses mômes constamment dans la lune, de leurs atermoiements, de la poésie à deux balles et de toute cette espèce d'histoire (mais quelle histoire au juste ?) de la famille psycho dans leur maison à la con.
   
   Le personnage principal (Edith) se déplace à deux à l'heure et tous ses commentaires sont incroyablement barbants, en plus de s'avérer non pertinents : c'est juste du blabla de merde dont on se contrefout. Et avec son accent amerloque à marshmallows, c'est encore plus désagrable.
   
   Techniquement, c'est du 256 couleurs plutôt terne, ponctué de nombreux ralentissements... pourtant, il n'y a vraiment rien de fou à afficher, loin de là... Encore un indé boulotté avec le fion de toute façon.… Expand
