    I'm hesitant to recommend this simply because I think at the end of the day it has slightly less things going for it than there are to recommend it. It's classed as a walking simulator but as others have said it's painfully slow walking, it's more of a crawling simulator! Ironically it tells you not to run (but doesn't have a run function anyway) and yet quite a few times the ball of light that guides you shoots off …

    It's a real shame to give this a negative review. But the lag and totally failed optimisation is awful. I am running on a high spec machine that should not struggle with a ten year old game, but even on the lowest graphic settings I am dealing with unnacceptable lag. It's such a shame, because the game/story seems so engaging, but to release a game in this state is just not acceptable.

    This is not a game. It's a digital theatrical play. Before you go into it make sure you're not interrupted for about 4 hours as it's a rather slow pace experience. Play this game with headphones, make yourself something to drink. and dim the lights. After all is prepared, dive in. Absolutely recommended.

    Beautiful walking simulator (even considering it's been almost 10 years), the story is good but it's not without its flaws: You walk about as fast as an old snail with arthritis. Walking in the village takes forever. You can accelerate (I can't call it running) but it's still painful. There's a graphic setting to look at to make it run smoothly otherwise your brand new NVDIA card will run at 30 FPS top... (Look it …

    It's really refreshing seeing shitey normal working class life depicted like this in a game, and a Silent Hill game no less. Pebble-dashed council flats, three-bar fires, Post Office counters, concrete shopping precincts. This must be how posh people felt playing Everybody's Gone to the Rapture.

    Everybody's Gone to the Rapture's writing takes a nose-dive with a completely unnecessary, predatory subplot. The writers chose to include a romantic storyline involving a 16-year-old girl paired with an age-unspecified partner, despite other characters in the story actively opposing their relationship. As paying consumers, we buy video games to be entertained. Even as someone who enjoys dark or horror themes, there should still be a basic limit of human decency and quality control. If I pay…

    People who say "there is no sprint button" are wrong and have been wrong for 10 years. There IS a run button, but you build up speed gradually over 3-6 seconds, sprint only functions outdoors and outside of scene transitions. The game is meant to be leisurely explored and experienced, not rushed through. Turn the TikTok brain off and let yourself get lost. The map looks bigger than it is, it takes 12 minutes to go from top to bottom/vice versa with sprinting. Hauntingly beautiful game set…

The troubled Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, which I'd just about given up on, is now set to release next fall, over four years after its initial intended launch.

    Gone home was great, another good one was Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. The Long Dark feels similar in style, though it has a lot more game elements to it. Now if only they'd finish the actual fucking game instead of tweaking the multiplayer no-one asked for, releasing a full six part DLC or **developing and getting a significant way through finishing a full sequel**. Not salty about that one at all, nope.

    On roads where only footsteps echo, it feels like eavesdropping on other people's lives. Without any flashy events, the story still burrows into the heart, and when the voices of the empty village finally come together, it feels less like playing a game and more like visiting a place.

    The game is a walking simulator, with a fine enough story, but one that is ultimately killed for me by the extremely slow walk speed. It makes the primary system you are meant to interact with (exploration), just not enjoyable, so after the first area I pretty much beelined the story, and even then I wish I had just dropped it. Also, while the story is somewhat interesting, I didn't like the way it was presented - the ghostly apparitions and radio messages just didn't do it for me. The mechanic…

    Couldn't finish it, the walking speed is so slow and the map is so big it has to be the most irritating walking sim I've ever played. Shame because it is interesting and very pretty. Game doesn't run well on modern hardware however it can be fixed easily, Open nvidia control panel > Go to manage 3D control panel change "low latency mode" to "on" and "vertical sync" to "fast" then boot the game and it will run high frames with no stuttering.

    One of the most moving and underrated games I've ever played. Unfortunately, it has a lot of negative reviews, and most of the criticism completely misses the mark because people judge it based purely on personal bias. They leave bad reviews simply because it's not their type of game, rather than judging whether it actually delivers what it promises. It's like playing a horror game, getting jumpscared, and then giving it a bad review just because of that. Many reviews point out the minimal…

    Really engaging story. It is beyond me how a company has an entire finished masterpiece in their hands and then just chooses to release and leave it broken. The fps rubberbanding is present at every graphics level. The sprint button literally does not function and you walk at a snails pace. The guiding orb goes off on side quests and doesn't guide you to everything you need to see, and seems like the only time it is around consistently is to ruin emotional moments in major cutscenes with all…

    I loved the game, it's atmosphere, story and music. If you know nothing about Gnostisism the story may be confusing, weird, dumb or boring to you. I consider it a sci-fi Gnostic story. The Chinese Room may not have intended this to be a Gnostic tale but they did it on accident not knowing what they wrote because "the answer is in the light". Spoiler alert. This game has nothing to do with the Christian Rapture. People complain about the slow pace but If you go in knowing you are buying a…

    I bought this after absolutely loving The Painscreek Killings, but sadly the performance was awful. The game kept crashing, stuttering, and even freezing my computer — and my setup can run Silent Hill 2 Remake on max settings with no problem. I really tried to make it work, even played about three hours, but the optimization was terrible. The atmosphere was great, but the constant technical issues and painfully slow pacing made it impossible to enjoy.

    An unapologetic walking simulator where you explore the disjointed echoes of the lives of residents in a small UK village (and the surrounding area) following an event that occurred in June 1984. The Chinese Room has experimented with ambigious storytelling and unreliable narrators since their original Half-Life 2 mods (including "Dear Esther," later released as a standalone title) and it feels like they've really hit their stride here. This game is not for everyone, and there are no…

    A few words of warning: this is a console game ported on PC and struggling on modern devices. If counting and monitoring FPS is your thing, avoid this game as a plague. Also you cannot save whenever you want and achievements are grindy. Those technicalities aside the content is great. Voice acting is superb and the ambiance is wonderful. Story is a bit of stretch though - for those who actually know physics. I liked the slow relaxing pace of the story though and the atmosphere of the game.

    Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture is one of the most hauntingly beautiful narrative experiences in modern gaming, a meditative exploration of isolation, memory, and transcendence crafted by The Chinese Room and published by PlayStation Publishing LLC. Rather than presenting a conventional structure of goals and conflicts, it unfolds like a slow-moving elegy—an interactive novel where you are less a protagonist and more an observer, piecing together the final moments of a vanished world.

    This is not a game. It is an obnoxiously slow tour through a beautiful but minimally interactive landscape. Led by a sparkling ball, the tour unveils dialog by clicking on radios, or televisions, or other sparkly balls (That you must slide right or left), or by just being close to a random spot until you are led to the big final scene which is... more dialog. Then there are several minutes of credits you can't click out of and that is Everybody's gone to the rapture.

    Grueling. I assume there's a story in there somewhere, but trying to tell multiple disembodied voices apart during one cryptic conversation after another is the most mind-numbingly tedious way try to tell it. The rampant and unfixable technical issues only hurt the game further (even lowering the resolution does nothing to help).

    Apparently, Rapture is church cpncept related to Protestant and Evangelical traditions, a belief that believers will be suddenly taken away before end times. But the game uses the term more evocatively: it carries the sense of both being spirited away and entering a state of transcedence. It's a deeply poetic and philosophical game. Rather than objectives and a route from A to Z, it gives you impressions, memories. Landscape still holds the shape of the people who lived in the village and…

    Great game and I personally always think The Chinese Room never miss with great narratives, superb visuals, and wonderful voice acting casts. Highly enjoyed this and is definitely their second best work after Still Wakes the Deep. Steam Deck Note - Runs superb on Steam Deck and I had no issues (completing two playthroughs on it) so in my view it is 'Verified' for the console. The text that is small to read is generally environmental (book covers etc.) so you don't loose much in my view.

    Unfortunately, this is an absolutely unplayable port. Nothing else to say about it

    I can run heavily modded Cyberpunk at 200 fps but this game struggles to get 30. Unplayable in this state.

    Extraordinarily slow-paced and tedious, even as a fan of the genre of walking simulators this one is just incredibly boring and dull.

    Sigh. Once again we're in 'mixed feelings' territory, with no ability to express those through a Yes/No binary. So on balance: EGTTR was so close to being a Yes, but just fell into the No category. The good: - atmospheric and beautiful to look at* and listen to. -The dialogue is well written and generally well acted. -The plot unfolds sensibly and at the end of the game I wasn't frowning over any loose threads. -The story itself goes from what seems like a standard ominous spooky…

    I really, REALLY wanted to play this game. It's been on my wishlist for years, and the first 15 minutes completely hooked me. Unfortunately, the optimization simply doesn't exist. My PC is powerful enough to run the game at maximum settings, but for some reason it lags terribly even when I lower everything to the minimum. Hate to do it, but I'm going to refund it and just watch a playthrough instead. What a shame.

    One of the most unique experiences I've had in video gaming. A soothing doom, put laconically. It has a rich emotional layer, a sci-fi mystery storyline and a kind of deep lore sewn into the environment itself. The visual details of the game are matched by only open-world games, far larger then itself. Just make sure to press the Run button for 7 seconds straight to walk faster, and ALWAYS follow the guide of the light.

    I desperately want to like this game. Every time I boot it up I'm reminded that there are many performance issues, which shouldn't need to be fixed by the player. Fixes that don't necessarily work, even when playing on a high-end PC. I'm barely able to get 30fps in 2026.

    Everybody's Gone to the Rapture (hereafter let's just call it Rapture) is such a mixed bag. I'd say: Recommended if it's 3-5 bucks, not recommended any other time. The issues here are just so odd. Rapture is kind of notorious for being poorly optimized, but it goes further than that. The developers made baffling choices with this "game", and I do use that word loosely. For starters, let's get this out of the way. It may or may not run well for you. There are plenty of posts about how people…

    When I read the warnings about the performance issues I ignored them and thought "how bad could it be?". The game runs pretty bad, even with my 5090, which is insane to me. I had a lot of framedrops going below 30 fps. The camera movement did not look smooth at all and I just couldn't continue to play it because it was not an experience I was up for. That makes me really sad tbh, because the story of the game is supposed to be really good :(

    There is a massive issue with it's performance. The game runs well with out certain angles and then the frames dip harshly.

    Calming, relaxing, beautiful, and very engaging. Be patient with the light stuff..... The beautiful scenery for me, a Vietnam Vet is very soothing..... I have a AMD Threadripper 1950X (Gen-1), and my older AMD RX-480 ate this game for lunch. No issues. I am also NOT running this under Windows. Windows makes it's glitchy and stuttering. But under EndeavourOS (Arch Linux Variant) and Steam.....It is smooth as melted butter. Now I put a new GPU under the Hood for more local AI stuff. An AMD…

    That's good and I hope well for them but also it's hilarious to me to describe them as "known for Still Wakes the Deep," a game I've never even looked at, while they made Dear Esther, Amnesia: Machine for Pigs, and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Like saying "Blizzard, known for Blackthorne" 🤣🤣🤣
