Those Who Remain - PlayStation 4

First off this game was made by a small group not a AAA developer. The graphics while impressive during many moments aren't the best possible. This game has you investigating different areas for clues about people and what they did, so that you can decide to forgive them or condemn them. It's a simple concept but very worthy of the time it takes to finish the game.l, which is 7-8 hours. There are lots of what do I do now moments that remind me of the classics from the late 90s. The game doesn't always explain to you where you are going or what to do but it is completely fair. Very good game and I recommend it. The graphics are not stunning, the gameplay isn't the absolute best, but hey, it's 20 bucks for a newly released game, and it's very worth it.

If you're a fan of horror games, then Those Who Remain is a title that should be on your radar. Developed by Camel 101, this game takes place in the sleepy town of Dormont, where a series of supernatural events have been plaguing the locals.As I fired up Those Who Remain on my PlayStation 4, I was immediately struck by the game's eerie atmosphere. The graphics are dark and moody, with shadows and fog that create a palpable sense of dread. The sound design is also fantastic, with creaking floorboards and whispers in the wind that will send shivers down your spine.But what really sets this game apart is its storytelling. The game's narrative is a twisted tale of love, loss, and regret, as you play as Edward, a man grappling with the demons of his past. As you navigate the town of Dormont, you'll encounter a variety of characters, each with their own secrets and motivations.The gameplay is also fantastic, with a mix of puzzle-solving and stealth sections that keep you on your toes. The game also features a unique mechanic where you must avoid the darkness, which can consume you and lead to your demise.One of the things I loved about Those Who Remain is the sense of mystery and intrigue it creates. The game doesn't spoon-feed you the answers - instead, it allows you to piece together the clues and unravel the story at your own pace. This sense of exploration is further enhanced by the game's non-linear structure, which allows you to explore the town of Dormont in any order you choose.In conclusion, Those Who Remain is a spine-chilling adventure that is not to be missed. From its eerie graphics and haunting sound design to its captivating storytelling and engaging gameplay, this game is a must-play for any fan of the horror genre. Highly recommended!

Nice game

THE GOOD:Atmosphere felt terrific in parts, while one house did feel like it wasn’t original. It was more like that known house mod from Steam. You know the stairs on the right side, closet on the left, etc. Most of the game was quite unique and clever trying to capture a very creepy layout of areas that were involved within the story of Those Who Remain.Music had it moments. But wasn’t anything special that grabbed my attention as a whole. But it fit the theme of each specific place we came to.Controls, easy liable. Well in some cases, once it became to controls with chasing scenes. It felt a little too much and very complicated (See The Chasing in The Ugly)Story. Wasn’t anything to memorable. But it’s another cool way of executing a point of which one is judged or not judged. I mean we’ve seen something similar to this right? At least I felt I have.THE BAD:Felt like a Key Hunting Game. I for one am not really a big fan of these type of games, but it seems to be a thing nowadays in the horror community. Almost like OUTLAST did for their “cat and mouse” games. I did start to get a little bored of this, so finishing this game became a little rough.Bugged Endings, there are a total of three endings. Good, Bad and Nightmare. However to achieve them you must go for the “Good Ending” first, even though the game doesn’t really tell you that for when you first start it up. But once you’ve gone through it once and either gotten the Bad or Nightmare Ending (Like I did at first). Achieving the Good Ending isn’t possible as there’s a bug from the Bad or Nightmare Ending you have previously gotten still in place, therefore you have to delete your old saved file and start fresh. Unless you’re smart and back up your save BEFORE the Judging the first Victim.Monsters. There’s only three kinds within this game, we got the “Shadow People”, “Lamp Lady” & “Mother”. However when looking closely at the Lamp Lady design, could it be a nod to The Evil Within’s take on the Lamp Lady?THE UGLY:Checkpoints. What really dug the game a grave for me was the not enough check points, especially when dealing with some cut scenes or intense “not so fair” moments to be dealt with that having to start over from scratch is a big no-no… Maybe if the checkpoints were planned better and had more, I’d let it slide. Unfortunately this became a big problem a few times during the game play which I’ll mention below.The Chasing. When it came down to some chase scenes, check points weren’t your friend at all. Starting from the beginning of the level or just a little bit from an annoying part was just blood boiling. Why not give players a check point at a safe place right before engaging the chase scenes. We already don’t know where to go, and on top of that there’s on particular chase scene that requires you to dodge moving objects while having to throw chairs out of the way in order to escape… Next thing you know you’re captured and now have to replay from the very beginning of the level you just started on.Staying In the Light. If the chasing scenes don’t annoy you faster than “Stay In the Light”, well then you’d probably got the idea down of how far you can go into the shadows BEFORE getting insta-deathed to yet again start over. So make sure you really look for a light switch behind that closed door before attempting to just look inside.OVERALL EXPERIENCE:Those Who Remain lacks the horrors of scares, but doesn’t really grab you either. Whether you are already annoyed from what I mentioned from “The Ugly” and just lost interest in the story. You find yourself somewhat satisfied at the end?If you are attempting to see all three endings yourself, PLEASE back up a save once you reach Marks House right after the little Prologue Chapter of helping you getting used to the game’s controls. It’ll be there where your decisions could bug the game or not.I wish there was a little bit more than the whole cat and mouse, while key hunting. As the story was nice to know, but there wasn’t enough puzzles to really keep you interested without finding some Key and tell yourself “Please not another Key Hunting game…”Learning each characters involvement and deciding others fate was cool, but didn’t we sort of do this before? However we didn’t really have the choices of Forgive and Condemn I guess. But at least once you know the game you can just easily speed-run through it all to see the endings. Or with the power of YouTube, just look up all 3 of them.For a $20 indie game, it’s not bad for the price if you’re willing to sacrifice your time to play through it 5-6 times like I did before realizing the Good Ending has a bug. Then I’d recommend it now, however if you don’t want to really push yourself to hard with frustrations, I’d wait for it to become on sale. Either way Those Who Remain was a decent game, but definitely had more to offer if Camel 101 gave it more time and stuff to do.

Amazon messed up and sent this to me 6 days before release so I have already played through it. Here are my thoughts:This game was not terrible but it was not particularly fun. It feels like a free PS+ game in the #2 spot for that month.The controls are clunky - it’s like going back and playing goldeneye on N64 after being used to HZD level control precision. You can mitigate this a tiny bit by adjusting the sensitivity in the options, but not enough.Also, the dialogue is super boring. The story had a lot of potential. Level design and details are basic and hold-your-hand predictable it is a bit disengaging. My wife thought it was scary — but she is also startled by me entering a room unexpectedly. I actually bought this game for her as she likes those kind of Until Dawn type games. She was gone with it before the first level was complete. I felt obligated to finish it.The graphics feel like they would have been on point for about 2009.It was not an expensive game and glad to support a smaller studio.

Bon jeu. Graphique assez antique pour une ps4, mais ça reste un bon jeu. Pas assez long, pas beaucoup de fin, mais c’est à essayer

洋ゲーながらデフォルト日本語字幕という親切さ。それはさておき、探索型ホラーで1ステージ20分程のチャプター方式で進んでいきます。常に闇からこちらを見つめる闇の住人が大量に存在し、光で道を作りながら探索を進めるゲームです。また、チャプターによっては追跡型の敵も配置されており見た目から独特。世界観はサイレントヒルやサイコブレイクよりです。そういった世界観が好きな方はやって損はしないと思います。欠点らしいものと言えば、○○を探せというようにヒントが出て主人公が○○にあるだろうか？と独り言で教えてくれます。が、アイテム事態はハイライトされているものの、例えば家の中にアイテムがあるとした場合隠すように配置されているので文字通り家捜しして見つけることになります。こういった手間を面倒だと感じる方には向かないかな。自分も30分程アイテムが見つからず右往左往したことがあります。世界観は刺さる人には刺さると思うので、興味があればやってほしいゲームですね。いわゆるグロ要素は一般目線で見て無いと思いますし。

Item arrived on time.For the game itself, it has its flaws and certainly feels like an indie title made by a small group of developers. If you go into it expecting the quality of a bargain bin game, it won't disappoint. Some of its puzzles are interesting while it's story and overall scare factor leave something to be desired while still being amusing enough for me not to have issue with it... I'd largely recommend this game to people who can appreciate media that doesn't have the largest budget but clearly had a team behind it that definitely had fun making it... It's seasoning for your game library that diversifies the mix. A purely Triple AAA game library always feels stale to me, you need some smaller titles to break them up, yknow? This is a good option to those looking for a cheap game that's still fun to play!

アマゾンで購入したのは2021年。新品で1710円でしたね。当時、海外のホラーゲーム探していて日本語対応もされていたのもあり購入しました。ゲーム内容は特別難しくもなく、楽しんだ記憶あります。ただ今の販売価格みると....と言う印象です。

Merci beaucoup!
