You can never go home again

Do not read this review of What Remains Of Edith Finch, for that we ask you kindly. Walk to your console, install it, and endure it blind. To read too much into Giant Sparrow’s spellbinding narrative masterpiece would be to do yourself a disservice. For this is an experience that is rooted heavily in mystery. It draws its power from the unknown, its hold over you only growing stronger as it builds towards its inevitable, decisive resolution. You must play What Remains Of Edith Finch, for it is perhaps the finest example of what a videogame can accomplish when it truly embraces narrative as a mechanism for play. The result is incredible, its impact undeniable.

You’re still here? Okay. We will try to keep it light on the details, for your own benefit.
