2/5 ★ – Endless_backlog's review of Heavy Rain.

Thought I would love this as I’m a big thriller fan and have really enjoyed decision based games previously such as Until Dawn and Telltales The Walking Dead. The first hour was incredibly slow and boring, having to perform monotonous tasks with your controller just to set a table or drink some orange juice. Unfortunately this doesn’t really change as the game goes on, but thankfully the story gets much more interesting once you start playing as a mix of characters. The whole game could have been a few hours shorter and having dedicated controls rather than que buttons would have been much more enjoyable. Not to mention the voice acting was terrible at times. All in all a fun concept and probably pretty unique for its time. I had mixed feelings about the final act, the identify of the origami killer was good but the motive not so much.
