Until Dawn is a title that has always intrigued me, but I never felt compelled to dive into it. The idea of being a mere spectator in a horror adventure where I only make small interventions never really appealed to me. However, with the remake now available on PlayStation 5 and PC, I finally gave it a try, and I’m glad I did.
Remake and modernization
I must say that I enjoyed this remake of Until Dawn. The narrative construction is intelligent and keeps the player engaged, making us care about the characters and their fate. Our choices truly shape the story and determine what happens to each of them. The attention to detail in the events unfolding keeps us hooked and eager to explore all possibilities.
Technical problems
Playing on the PlayStation 5, I noticed some visual defects and frame rate variations that could be quite distracting, especially during critical moments in the game. These technical issues, although not game-breaking, do take away from the overall experience and prevent the game from reaching its full potential.
In conclusion
Until Dawn’s remake is a worthwhile experience, offering a captivating narrative and engaging gameplay. Despite some technical issues, the game’s visual improvements enhance the overall immersion and make it a rewarding journey for players.
In my opinion, this remake offers a fresh take on the original game, despite facing some serious technical flaws on the PlayStation 5 version. I still recommend giving it a try, especially if you missed out on the original version. For PlayStation players, it’s worth checking your catalog as the 2015 version was previously available on PlayStation Plus.
