Five levels of this. Well, four and a bit really, but they’re all beautifully large and beckoning, and they’re filled with distinct ideas that give each sequence a sense of character and identity. The danger with a game like this is padding. Rime has no padding, and yet it took me on an adventure that consumed the best part of two days and left me with a lot to think about afterwards.

This last point is perhaps Rime’s greatest trick, in fact. Over time, the facade drops and Rime announces that, actually, it’s not just trading in playful Zelda-ish whimsy. It is a game about something - about something genuine and heartfelt and wrenching and delicate. The last few moments of the game - and something that happens right after the game has been completed, if that makes sense - overplay this ever so slightly, an underlining of things that carries a bit of a shock to it, given the subtlety of what has come before. But that’s still only a slight annoyance, almost too slight to mention, in the face of something beautiful and daring.

Rime doesn’t rely on a twist ending anyway. Rather, this is the twist ending’s older and more appealing sibling: the sense of dawning realisation. This game has it all, really. It has a sense of wonder, of poise and, over time, a true sense of emerging character. And it has something to say. Something that is worth hearing.

There have been a couple not so good reviews but the consensus seems to show that is good. Trying not to read much about it since it has some surprises. Probably my next Switch game

Switch version has stripped of effects and low textures, thats half the reason of playing Rime
But yeah portable

Launch trailer

Avoid Youtube search, some videos had spoiler screenshot, already spoiled in one pic

For some reason I thought this was a Myst kind of game. Was it changed somewhere along the development?

At the start it is, it only gets interesting when the puzzles start to get harder and more complex. It actually reminds me of an early Tomb Raider minus the guns and survival. I don’t think there’s any chance AdventureGamers will call it an adventure, but if you are okay with platforming it’s a nice ride (even if a bit too “Hollywood” for my tastes).
