Until Dawn review - MMGN

Originally announced for PlayStation 3 as a PS Move title an age and a half ago, Supermassive Game's Until Dawn finally arrives on PlayStation 4. Has it been worth the wait? That depends on you. Do you enjoy games with a strong player-driven choice system? What about one featuring a b-grade horror story that draws inspiration from some of the genre’s best films? If you answered yes, then chances are this is the PS4 exclusive for you.

This is the type of game Morpheus should be used for.

When you need to make a decision you simply look in the direction of the option you want for a brief moment, and off you go. Hopefully there's a patch for it, and first person mode added next year.

As of now I can't drop $60 on it, even though I'm interest so I'll Gamefly it and buy it on Black Friday.

leahcim3593d ago

WOW I sincerely was expecting a flop.

DarkOcelet3593d ago

Why are you so negative?

Why cant people accept that this genre of interactive games has its audience? Sigh.

Paleblood3593d ago

I was expecting a flop too but not because I am negative but because I know that despite this genre to be good, the media doesn't feel the same.

I am glad it turned out to be good but it was a surprise.

PSIN4MANT3593d ago

This game is looking like its gonna defy the haters.. I am excited.

hesido3593d ago

Those who are hitting disagree button on positive comments and not caring to explain why they are disagreeing?

PSIN4MANT3593d ago

There were videos out Yesterday, already declaring the game a flop.

chrisx3593d ago

Another great PS exclusive

Hoffmann3593d ago

8 People disagree because ...well nobody knows.

NeoGamer2323593d ago

If 8/10 defines a great review, then gamer's standards have fallen considerably.

Bloodborne was great... This is not great.

ShadowWolf7123593d ago

If an 8/10 is a bad game to you, you're ridiculous.

Heck, even a 6 means it's above average. Something we seem to forget in this day and age of chasing "perfection".

NeoGamer2323593d ago (Edited 3593d ago )

@ShadowWolf712
I don't remember my comment saying that 8/10 is a bad game. I simply said 8/10 does not define it as a great game.

The game has not released so these are pre-reviews. Most pre-reviews are 5-10 points above the average reviews once the game comes out. So this game will be lucky to maintain 75-80 after release as an average.

I won't call that a bad game at all. I call it an average game because the lion's share of reviews give games 70-80. Definitely, not the kind of numbers you see from great games like Bloodborne, and Witcher 3.

"Great" should be reserved for rare games that are truly a cut above everything else... This review puts this game in the average to slightly above average category.

And 6/10 is usually, not at all a great game. it is usually non-memorable.

TwoForce3593d ago

What a troll ! Do you really hate Until Dawn because it's inspired by Heavy Rain? So far the review of this game have been very positive.

NeoGamer2323593d ago

@TwoForce
Where did I ever say I "hate" Until Dawn? Please, cite any direct reference to "hating" this game.

ShadowWolf7123593d ago

"Heck, even a 6 means it's above average."

"And 6/10 is usually, not at all a great game. it is usually non-memorable."

And you said what differently?

And yeah, an 8/10 is a great score, especially for a game like this. You can try to spin all you like, you know what you were implying.

I'm confused. Did they contribute to the writing of the movie?

darthv7256d ago

I think the game writes should be glad... the movie is not that good. Its connection to the game is in name only.

Until Dawn Remake.

Saved you a click.

OtterX59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

Boring. The original was a decent game, but not something worth revisiting. I guess this is alright for anyone who never played the original.

Now, Rush of Blood should have been the real priority for a remake on PSVR2.

adamwparker59d ago

Until Dawn remake, Death Stranding, and a random PS4 game?

Until Dawn was already a PS Plus game! And not even that long ago.
The fact that JUST BECAUSE an Until Dawn movie just released in theaters so SONY trying to push the name is not right for us long time subscribers.

CrimsonWing6959d ago

I mean, technically it’s the Remake. It’s possible that many missed out on the PS4 one when it was a PS+ game. I actually was interested to see what this one is like, but had no intention of buying it, so that’s a plus for me… pun intended.

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic212d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23212d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1212d ago (Edited 212d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger202d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.
