I enjoyed this more than I expected. After finishing my first playthrough, I can't wait to go back and rethink and change some of my choices. It very much is like a horror movie styled Heavy Rain, but it would appear the choices and consequences are even more complex in Until Dawn. Most of the game is presented in a very cinematic style with no HUD, which I thought was unique and enjoyed, and everything graphically is phenomenal. Character models, clothing, environments, facial animations are all jaw-dropping at times. Since this isn't open-world, they could really push the graphics and they did. Also the voice work is about as excellent as you can get. If Heavy Rain was a gaming experience you enjoyed, and horror and/or horror movie tropes are also something you like, this is definitely something you should try.
