RiME

Masterfully drawn, well programmed and thoroughly tested. Very, very nice graphical design, remarkable style, I'd have a painting like this hanging on the wall. Smooth character control, not the usual "ah, missed the ledge AGAIN, falling to death" type. No obvious glitches, well done team! The story... is rather simple, but moving in the end.

Beautiful game with excellent music, graphics, platforming, atmosphere,and a moving story which brought me near tears at the end. The game is nearly non-violent and your character is not able to fight which was a surprise to me. The flow works really good, although the puzzles could be a bit more complex but I think that would hinder the flow^^. I needed 8-10h to complete the main puzzles, I'm a slow gamer because I relished in the game world but didn't got all the "collectables" (they're good implemented in the story!). I'm happy with the game's length (working and other stuff) and think I wouldn't be able complete another game of the Witcher 3's length :D

Since they removed Denuvo I bought it the first day it was released here on GOG, though if I had known it would be less than five hours to complete I may have waited a little longer. It's a beautiful game, though the launch version has a problem with selecting the wrong GPU and playing with the Intel graphics rather than my Nvidia card, hopefully that's fixed soon but even with that problem the game plays well enough with integrated graphics if you turn everything down. I currently have to either disable the Intel GPU and play with the graphics maxed or turn everything down and lock the framerate to 30 so my Intel HD630 will run the game. As to the game, the chapter names are: Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance If that doesn't give you a hint as to how it's going to go... It kinda reminds me of Journey, Ico, and Abzu rolled up into one game, with a side order of extra feels. I'm not sure about the $30 price tag, not for a game that takes five hours to finish, but I don't mind as I look at it as a reward for not only pulling Denuvo but also releasing on GOG.

A masterpiece. A work of art that transcends the barrier of a mere game and surpasses the best demonstrations of art. Lyrical, sad, encouraging, surprising, fabulous and with a lovely soundtrack. Like a great movie or a great book you do not go through the experience without changing. Game of the year 2017.
