RIME let's you experience the 5 stages of grief in such a respectful, meaningful and understandig way. It gives another perspective to it. Amazing gameplay and storyline! Really knows how to pull you into the story and built connection with your characters you meet along the way.
Sometimes the controls on the desktop are a bit funky when you've got your preset camera angles in some parts of the game. But other than that very enjoyable!

It’s near damn crazy to me that this is technically a 4–5 hour game… because I’ve put 60+ hours into it just walking around, replaying moments, sitting with the music, and just existing in its world.
The tower isn’t just a tower. The island isn’t just an island. It’s a mind trying to survive loss.
When the truth settled in, it didn’t feel like a twist for shock value. It felt heavy. Real. Human. And now that the initial shock has passed, I’m just… grateful I got to experience it.
It’s rare for a game to say so much with so NO dialogue. The world building, the symbolism, the music — it all works together quietly. No overexplaining. No forcing emotion. It just lets you feel.

Review from 2018:
More of a walking sim that I had anticipated as I thought there would be more puzzles in the game, there were a few inventive puzzles though not enough, the games story didn’t really grab me because it isn't until the end that you have an idea what is really going on, the game looks great however

This is the first Game in my Life that touched my Heart to the Point where I just Cried at the End Credits and sat there without a Plan what to do. It is a Truly touching and Sad Story paired with a beautiful Art Direction and an Amazing Soundtrack. This is not only a Recommendation but a Request to play this Game and experience this Heartbreaking Story.

Can't put into words how much I love this little game. It could be frustrating at times, but what game with puzzle-focused gameplay isn't sometimes? But anyway.
I give this two big thumbs up. It's pretty, it's fun, and it'll have your emotions by the throat by the end.

I"m doing my 4th play through. I love this game. So relaxing with the fantastic music. Extremely emotional. Even though I know the ending, it's just about "being there", going through the story again. Unfortunately, Tequila Works has gone belly up. I was hoping for a sequel. Too bad. It's hard to find a game that touches you so much.

I can't put into words the amount that this game has done for me, the music, the story, the environment. It's all really inspiring, even though it may be laggy, turning the games settings down still makes it look absolutely beautiful.
as I said... I can't recommend this game enough, just play it.
