About
Heavy Rain is an interactive drama telling the story of the investigation of a serial murder’s case. Players assume roles of four people – Ethan Mars, Norman Jayden, Madison Paige, and Scott Shelby – somehow involved in the case of Origami Killer, who is used to leave his victims alone, marked with origami figures. It soon reveals that all Origami Killer’s murders are connected with weather changes (actually heavy rains). In the course of the completion, players will follow the characters on their way to the key of the murderer’s mystery. Heavy Rain is an unusual action-adventure game. All four main characters are controlled from the third-person perspective with only several buttons, as the interaction with the environment is usually done by activating on-screen prompts like holding the trigger, pushing a button, positioning the stick, or all in one. The gameplay consists of multiple scenes, which affect the further in-game progress by the players’ choice and create a branching storyline that can lead to various endings including the death of certain main characters.

Heavy Rain reviews and comments
Es un buen juego, pero personalmente le falta algo que no me acaba de llenar.
Próximo juego será Detroit Become Human, a ver si me convence más
The story starts ok, but has too many characters to play which makes it a bit too long in my opinion. Too long probably, because the gameplay is limited and repetitive. The approach is kinda cinematic, but it is sometimes hard to tell what the character is going to do. The fact that your ability to successfully finish action scenes and making choices in general have an impact on the outcome is great. The choices and the actions just start getting obvious after some time.
The graphics are dated. Character animations are far from natural, especially when it comes to facial expressions. But that didn't bother me too much. It was the mediocre, sometimes even bad voice acting that kept me from enjoying the character interactions. It's difficult to get moved by the story when the acting and the graphics can't manage to convince you.
5/5
