PS4 Game Review - Until Dawn
Example without to much detail on who and what and where: I chose to shoot someone to save the character I was playing at that time, turns out the gun was shooting blanks. The person I was later on in the game was in trouble and the person I shot (who survived) got that character killed.
The story is about 8 friends who stay at a cabin in snowy mountains where two girls who were part of the friend's group went missing 1 year ago. The friend's find them selves under attack by a psychopath and then later on a curse that has released monsters that try to kill them and can succeed depending on your choices. The game has 10 chapters and every chapter apart from chapter 1 starts with a "Previously" which shows a quick clip of your choices.
This game is free for the PS4 Plus Members for July's set of free games.
It has a lot of jump scares and shocking moments. It really is stomach churning because of the gore. There are multiple endings depending on who survives/how many survive if all characters survive or none at all. My first play through well I tried to keep all characters alive until I messed up so I thought I would try and get them all killed and well of course 1 survived.
The graphics are amazing. The story is good. The music/background noise and voice acting were very good. The camera and moving controls aren't the best but they are durable. I wish the characters could move a little faster when you are controlling them. There is running scenes but when you are exploring it's walking. You can speed up the walking but you don't really see a difference.
Overall this game is amazing and if it wasn't free and I found out about it I would probably actually buy it on the PS Store. I'm not really into horror games but this one was a VERY good horror game that actually did good jump scares.
If you play this, it is best to play it in the dark and have a headset or earphones in and have it loud. Makes it more creepier.
I was more of a Tomb Raider guy anyway.
