Good good
Got a couple hours into the game, so this is a first impression review.
I decided to play until dawn because im a fan of the telltale games and horror movies, and this looked like the perfect blend. And, I'm happy to say that the blend worked well and was a really cool idea. Like I said, i only played a little bit of this game so i can't comment on the full game story but the parts i got was really good, and the story is clearly Until dawns biggest strength. The setup and the beginning was a good intro/tutorial, and the set up of each character was great to see as it makes the characters more than just random teens.
The biggest flaw i found was with the gameplay, and i don't mean the fact its 90% cutscenes and all that. I love that type of gameplay, but i found until dawns a little weird. mainly (on ps5) moving the joystick to pick choices, which felt unnatural and odd. The gameplay as well felt a little bit clunky and i didn't love the camera angles.
Little things i loved as well was the mystery clues that you can find, my favourite being for the serial killer. These little clues scared the shit out of me and was really effective in boosting the story. I also loved the therapists scenes which was creepy and chilling and again boosted the story.
In conclusion, the couple hours of until dawn i played showed a lot great potential, with the story's beginning being engaging and looking to set up a great horror experience. The gameplay was a little clunky and i felt it needed some simplification and tweaking, which if i ever play the quarry or if supermassive games put out a sequel i would love to see what they do.
