Look, it's been a week or more since I've played this game and it still pops into my head periodically. I've not been allowed to stop thinking about it for very long, and there is a very good reason why.

The Finch family will press itself into your skin and it will not let go.

The game play is not traditional by any sense, it's similar to walking simulators except you feel like your actions have an origin and a purpose and a meaning. You have to participate in what happens to the members of the Finch family. You have to look around, and examine, and find your way from one piece of the story to another. You're delivered each piece of story in a different way, and you find hints of life everywhere you go, in itty-bitty details. There are small puzzle pieces you'll be invited to connect as you go through and you'll be happy to do it. If you are one of those people that likes looking at all the small details in a game-the titles of books, the stains on the wall, the personal possessions on a desk and how everyone writes their letters-then you will doubly enjoy this game.

But even if you aren't one of those people, I still one-hundred percent recommend it on story alone. Just the base story, not even how the story is delivered, but the core thing itself. What would be written on paper with no visuals or sound effects. Though I believe the developers chose the best possible format they could have to deliver it as a game. Everything is enhanced by visuals, mini-games and exploration. Based on all the factors, I do UNDERSTAND the full $20 price tag. I mean, you spend 20 bucks on a meal that's finished long before this game and can't exactly be re-eaten. I think it's understandable, fair based on quality. But I personally suggest getting it when it goes on its 12.99/9.99 or lower sale simply because it is so short.

But seriously. I hope anyone that is considering the game and happens to read this goes ahead and gets it. It is worth the time and money. It WILL NOT leave you as a story.

Everyone should find out what remains of Edith Finch.
