Rain is one of those games that hit all the right notes for me personally in terms of audio-visual presentation as well as themes. The game has a number of flaws when it comes to the gameplay and some of the simplistic design choices that would have, under any other circumstances, received a lower review/rating if it wasn't for its excellent presentation and themes.

The European 1920s/30s setting along with the night time and rain effects create a great charming yet intriguing setting that involve our two protagonists, a boy and a girl, who cannot talk to each other but rather use gestures and emotions to convey what they trying to do or communicate.

Gameplay can be calming or stressful depending if you are exploring, solving puzzles, or trying to use stealth to go around enemy creatures. The soundtrack in this game does a great job of adding to the experience by offering calming piano pieces to suspenseful tunes when appropriate. It is worth pointing out that some of the puzzle are on the simplistic side and the gameplay doesn't ever shine or offer anything outstanding but since the game is on the short side, this doesn't become a huge issue and the game never overstays its welcome.

Overall, I think Rain might not be for everyone but I know it was for me since it hit many notes in terms of its presentation and setting, making it one of my all-time favorite PSN games.
