Push Square: "Giant Sparrow delivers beyond our expectations once again. A touching story about a tragically unlucky family hits all the right notes, making What Remains of Edith Finch a worthy successor to the studio's sublime The Unfinished Swan. A walking simulator with a smart delivery mechanism paints the picture of a family tree full of misfortune and sadness, but leaves room for some happiness and sunshine. Between the most realised home we've ever seen in a game, the incredible voice work, and the moving, intriguing story, this is the genre's new golden standard."

What Remains of Edith Finch is a game I've been putting off for a while now. I'm not really sure why I waited so long. I already knew it was good. I think we all did. Thankfully, the latest PS5 port featuring a fix of the slowdown issue in the game's opening minutes, as well as the new addition of a PS5 trophy list and a platinum trophy, really sealed the deal for me.
This is one of the best walking sims I have played. Lewis' story was a solid piece of writing.
