I am 50 years old and I have been playing videos games since the 80s. I have played "What remains of Edith Finch" through twice, once when it came out (2017) and then again years later (2024). It's as if it did not age. It's like a great movie that you watch again and again. This game is a true masterpiece. Despite it's short length, the story and the emotions it leaves with you with stays with you for years. This is one of the best story driven games I have ever played and I have played A LOT. Also the way the story is told and the interface is really innovative and creative 10/10. I will be back in another few years to play it again.

I got so angry at this game. It ended and I shut it down and was so heated about it, I hopped into my discord server and started trashing it.
But then I realized something...well....I realized a lot of things.
It did have an ending. Just not the ending I wanted. It left me with more questions than answers but I soon realized that it was exactly the point of the story. You get more focused on the "what" is happening to this family and not the overall tragedy of this poor girl's existence.
And that is why I got so upset. I got so enveloped and transported to Edith's life that I didn't want to leave it after a few short hours with her.
I want to know more, I want to feel more.
And that is a pure example of how video games are am artform and I am a firm believer that sometimes video games are the best way to tell a story. What Remains Of Edith Finch is a shining example of this case. I strongly don't believe it could get told any other way and capture your emotions better than how it is presented.
I commend the developers for a job well done. It won my heart over. My biggest regret is not playing it sooner. Thank you for the experience.

What Remains of Edith Finch is an adventure game, a walking simulator at core with excellent script and beautiful narrative from the perspective of Edith Finch, a young woman revisiting her old family home. The inheritance of property also comes with the stories of her deceased family members. It's in our human nature to try and find answers even if we can't explain them.
“If we lived forever, maybe we’d have time to understand things. But as it is, I think the best we can do is try to open our eyes, and appreciate how strange and brief all of this is.''
As we explore the house ,the game builds succesfully a tense and mysterious scenario. It's not clear what causes Finch's family extinction through the years. There is no physical manifestation of a monster or proof of supernatural, but we can't eliminate that assumption. Family curse or just misfortune there is plenty of drama and sad stories discovered through journals or clues left behind.
Why did they build the graveyard before finishing the house? My assumption is they already knew their fate is sealed so they prepared for it.
The game ending left a bad taste for me,because you can't do anything to change the past or make a choice for a different ending. However a dramatic story can provide a excellent foundation for an emotional response from the player ,something to remember and learn lessons about life and fate.
Being pregnant and being aware of what could happen to her,Edith's courage and determination to find inner peace is what i appreciate the most. She got her answers in the end but i don't know if we obtained ours.
Pros:
-attention to detail
-excellent story
-graphics
-music
