What Remains of Edith Finch is a collection of short stories about a cursed family in Washington State. Each story offers a chance to experience the life of a different family member with stories ranging from the early 1900s to the present day. The gameplay and tone of the stories are as varied as the family members themselves. The only constants are that each is played from a first-person perspective and that each story ends with that family member's death. It's a game about what it feels like to be humbled and astonished by the vast and unknowable world around us. You'll follow Edith Finch as she explores the history of her family and tries to figure out why she's the last Finch left alive. Read less

I loved this to the end. To me, there was nothing wrong with this game. I truly felt the finiteness of life.

This game is just beautiful. There is nothing else to add.

Overall: 10/9 plus 1 -> 10/10

And that plus is for the very very entertaining hours.

I haven't been playing games much in the last couple months since I didn't have a comfortable place to sit. After two months of waiting, the new recliner I ordered is finally coming in on Saturday. I am planning to finish off Okami HD and then move on to the rest of my backlog!

I haven't been playing games much in the last couple months since I didn't have a comfortable place to sit. After two months of waiting, the new recliner I ordered is finally coming in on Saturday. I am planning to finish off Okami HD and then move on to the rest of my backlog!

I have also begun my quest of playing through all of the core Zelda games with my five year old daughter. We are almost done with the original Legend of Zelda on the NES. She is really liking it, but keeps complaining that Link does not look like he does in the later games.

My wife and I are playing What Remains of Edith Finch together. What a wacky game!

Finally, here is a shot of my game collection after I recently reorganized. Dylan's Game Collection June 2018

"What remains of Edith Finch" just won the GAME OF THE YEAR award at the BAFTA Game Awards.

Not "Zelda: Breath of the Wild", that has won at every mayor awards event since last year

Not "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice", that won the most BAFTA awards today.

Congratulations to the developers!

I loved this came in it's entirely, but this sequence in particular was, in my opinion, incredible. Not only tells the story extremely well, but it also has some amazing mechanics that really puts you in the exact mood you need to be. It really is something else...

So Calvin died in 61, but his Command Center had a picture of Neptune taken by Voyager on 1989... Is there a time travel plot in this game or am I just being unnecessarily anal about minor developer mistakes?

Simple but powerful. This hit me harder than I expected it to. The storytelling was wonderful and I am glad that I picked this up.

Also, if you are planning to pick this up, also consider playing The Unfinished Swan. Not only because it is another great game from Giant Sparrow, but for additional reasons I won't dive too deeply …
