[@eaniracate]

i think it's really clever how each stage of the game is meant to symbolize each stage of grief. This game is so so amazing and deserves way more credit than it's been given.

[@dennisdesormier6886]

I would have appreciated something showing that early on. It would have engaged me better with the game, and I would not have stopped playing.

[@liamdavis2387]

I'm really impressed with how this game managed to convey such a clear story without words. I managed to tell around half way through that the story was about the boy 'passing on', trying to work his way up the tower to the light at the end. But around three quarters through, it became clear that it's also a story about grief. About loving and losing and loving again. And I really felt that.

[@lukelangan6663]

I cried when he lost the fox like he lost to much

I don't understand why this game is getting hate. it's beautiful. the music, the visuals, the mystery, the game play! I love it all. shame on those internet trolls!

[@CampingforCool41]

The reality is that almost any piece of work that gets a reasonable amount of notoriety is going to have haters. Best thing is to just ignore them.

[@karmahunt4127]

thedarkestdawn1 he is getting hate because this company doesn't have a good reputation and so releasing something beautiful suddenly got people suspicious and just assumed that he was faking the visuals in the trailer to the point where they won't even play the game before calling it garbage.

[@thedarkestdawn1]

Did u all hear of how the game maker cried for 2 days after reading the horrible comments on the internet? He even said he wasn't going to make the game if he knew how mean people were. Honestly, this game is awesome and F people. F them hard.

[@cherrylee5067]

+Starfals I know right?! This is an amazing game! Those animation moves! And the flames and dust! You deserve a like!

[@clairdellia2298]

This game is amazing, but when you put something out for the world, you have to be able to handle criticism. There is always someone who is never going to like you, no matter how good you are.

[@Starfals]

Its true, criticism is important if you want to get better and think outside the box a lil bit more, but its not all about that. Many people would of been discouraged to paint,compose music and do all kinds of creative things because people told them how bad they were, how its not a good idea and how they should give up. Not all criticism is good, and sometimes even the good one is meh. For example, everyone told my mom not to study to be a musician, not to sing, not to create music (all her life) and she didn't listen to them. Now she is famous and many people love her songs. Most of the critics were just eating her alive, for like no reason. I've seen that with movies as well. People HATING some movies when they come out, later on changing their minds and actually loving them. I agree with you however, not everyone can enjoy everything and that's the lesson we need to learn here. Critics don't always know whats best however. People told the airplane makers it was a dumb idea too, but hey.. look at us now.. flying to every corner on the planet.

[@clairdellia2298]

100% agree with you on that

[@knodelexe]

game criticism goes too far nowadays

[@novatau2897]

This is the first game to make me cry in a long time (journey was the first). Looking forward to seeing more games like this one.

[@thebigdipperr3227]

[@awesometech841]

Journey is a masterpiece, a work of art!

[@dancoulson6579]

Journey was brilliant. But it didn't get a strong response from me. But Rime really hit me hard. I love the beautiful scenery, and mysterious, surreal environments. And the ending really had me choking.

Just finished this game. I’m still crying, hard. I miss my grandma whom passed away almost 4 years ago, in a few days it will mark the 4th year. I still miss her, this game helps me remember to just let go. I love her and can miss her, but I cannot change anything. This was such a wonderful and beautiful game, so emotional.

[@danielaviegas9004]

We cannot always base games on happy endings...Thats why I love Indie games, they showed us a wonderful adventure without any words and still made us realize beautiful moments of this journey full of emotions.. And since I could read the Spanish credits I see that this was inspired by a lot of people that left and stayed trough the making of the game, cried so much too!! So gorgeous, loved it!!! Mis agradecimientos a toda la equipo que ha echo este juego una maravillosa viaje para muchos, Gracias!!!

[@soren3888]

Daniela Dani if only the vast majority of gamers around the globe think like you do, the indie industry would be so much better.

the spanish credits are because this game was developed in spain.

[@JiaRuAu]

My thoughts on this game (SPOILERS) - - - I think the "boy" was the father all along, and the entire journey symbolized his journey through the stages of grief. The reason he started out as the boy was because in his mind, he'd rather he had been the one to die in the accident instead of his son, which is why we see the seemingly misdirecting scene at the beginning: it was his denial that started this whole journey. The world is seemingly beautiful and perfect, but there is always that nagging feeling of wrongness, symbolized by the red hooded figure he is always chasing, but can never quite reach. Gradually, anger sets in and the world is a desolate, scorched land plagued by monsters. We also begin to see the dark creatures that symbolize depression and grief. The giant bird represents our psyche that actively tries to fight back and continue our state of denial but as we pull out the stops and let the grief run free (the smoke), this opposing force weakens until we are able to face the fact that something bad has happened. In the bargaining stage, the dark creatures become hostile but the boy can seemingly fight back against them using the light orbs and the robots, and for a while it seems that the boy could win. That he could change the world back into the sunny place it used to be. But then we see the last of the robots sacrifice itself to open a door into more gloom and darkness, and you see the boy finally break down. The last stage is pretty obviously grief and depression. Instead of lighting torches, you proceed by extinguishing them. There is no light, and the dark creatures leave you be because you are clearly not a threat anymore. As the last of your hope dies (the fox), you stop feeling and become numb (stone). Life feels pointless, you've screamed so much you've lost your voice and you literally become a shadow of yourself. In the last stage, the boy fights to open up the flood gates and let the light back into the world, and finally the truth is revealed and relived. The "boy" walks towards the corridor and confronts himself (as the father). He chooses to accept his fate and leaps into the void. The father then gets up and goes to his son's room for the first time in a long time. All the locks the boy opened through out the game culminates in the final, physical act of unlocking the door into the room. Finally, he lets go.

[@DavidYoungblood86]

PositiveSarcasm this is the best explanation of this game. I understood the end but I didn't put the whole game together till I read your post. I also recommend watching the alternate ending. When the father goes into his sons room, a fox is on the bed and a robot is hanging in the window. It shows that the father/boy was remembering all these things during the game play

[@sarahanncole6473]

[@haydenhoodless2055]

This game was amazing. In all my life I've never cried so much at a game or even a film. The beauty of this game is that it slowly lets you unfold the intricacies of the story for yourself. It was the puzzles, artwork and sense of adventure that gripped me first. As it progressed the mystery and wonder took over and I was just in love. Then it broke my heart. It ripped me into pieces. 10/10.

[@anniedotson1165]

This game is so beautiful especially the music. I'm crying right now. That ending though.

Just a tip, increase the brightness, makes it much easier in dark places.

[@teclinsoro4523]

i don’t know if anyone’s said this yet but there’s a grave you can visit at the start of the game. it’s in the area with the red trees that you fill with water to get to the key. if you get into the water and swim down there’s a little passage you can go through where you can find some flowers, a gravestone, and a torch on the wall. i don’t think you get anything for finding it. when i found it on my first playthrough i thought i get could something by lighting the torch, but the boy just cried instead. i remember spending a good ten minutes in there, just trying to process everything and letting the boy cry.

[@dennisdesormier6886]

There's some kind of award for that. Something like "a good final resting place". It was the first thing I got, actually.

[@morganalexandra6236]

This game sort of reminds me of The Last Guardian, and Shadow of the Colossus. The boy can climb and interact with the environment and looks to be all alone with his pet. Is in mythical world of magic and danger. The shadows are like the shadow people in Shadow of the Colossus. Big bird reminds me of the Colossi. Big robot friends remind me of Trico. Bitter sweet ending + plot twist.

Downloaded this on a whim off of PS plus because it was free. Thank whatever celestial or holy force may or may not be up above that led me to that decision. This is one of the most beautiful games I have ever played. Amazing cinematography, mesmerizing soundtrack and a story & theme that hits you in the feels like a truck. The only other game that has made me cry at the ending is The Last Guardian which I highly recommend. There so much I can say about this game .. but honestly you have to play it for yourself. RiME is not a game .. it’s an experience.

I thought this game was going to be a fun easy going game with a light story, by the looks of the trailer anyway. Little did I know that I would become so emotionally invested as the story priced together. I was not thinking by the trailer that I’d be sitting in my room at midnight fighting tears and loosing the battle. What a wonderful game it’s been a while since I had a good cry. I loved and will continue to live this game. Thank you

[@alphanimtheskykid]

This game was incredibly breathtaking, and stunning graphics into the 3D era. RiME came out for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Steam and Xbox One in 2017 and was developed by Tequila Works, and published by Six Foot and Greybox Software. The music was so dramatic, often times family-friendly.

And when I already thought I survived, I saw the naming of the stages. And it made me cry even more, and there is this theory I can't take either. If the boy really was the one who died, this is all in his MIND. And it's just so sad, and when his dad threw the little red cape part in the wind, it was so awful. Now everyone who sees this comment are going to think for sure that I'm stupid, and that thing is not a theory, but the most likely way it to be. Just wanted to share this idk why xd.

This game is quite surprising, I did not expect this ending. It does use your emotions very well, there are suspense, drama and those lovely moments. It left me very sad after. To be honest, I played till the end but the last achievement to let go, I don't think I did let go in real life. I followed the game and did not get all the extras. I liked the graphics, music and story, but this type of game always make my eyes hurt because of moving the camera too much, the truth is that I am so sensitive that I really got motion sick sometimes, but still I kept playing, hahaha.

In the end of the game, he enters the room that has a toy with that tall legs thingy, because he must let go of the memories, thats why he lets the wind take the red thing. And the fox must be his dead dad that helps him thru his journey. Anyway, it was a great game. 💌
