  • And heavily accented
  • Game can be short if you only play once
  • It may sound weird or aloof
  • But much of the emotional punch may be missing if you don't have children
  • A few subplots seem to peter out to nothing. at least in my
  • Heavy Rain is too filmic
  • One has to wonder why they didn't make an animated film instead of a game

  • umwerfende Grafik, düsteres Szenario, ein interaktiver Film, vier unterschiedliche Charaktäre, zahlreiche kleine Details, spannende Geschichte, viele Zwischensequenzen,

  • Keuzes beïnvloeden het einde, Meeslepende thriller, Muziek, voiceacting en mocap, Scènes soms zo spannend dat ze in een film kunnen, Wat als…,
  • Misschien wat aan de korte kant, Hier en daar wat schoonheidsfoutjes, Lippen die bijvoorbeeld niet altijd synchroon lopen met de uitgesproken woorden

  • Zeer emotioneel en meeslepend, Interactie en invloed op het verhaal, Grafisch bijna van filmkwaliteit
  • Amateuristisch slechte Nederlandse voiceovers, Besturing werkt soms tegen, Er zitten nog wat kleine bugs/glitches in
