Rain review: how to disappear completely
Rain pulls strong emotion out of its simple mechanics
85%Rain PS3 Review
In the end, Rain is a beautifully crafted game on the PlayStation 3 which proves that sometimes less is more. It is well narrated and features some sturdy gameplay that I could happily recommend to all gamers who want something a little different. Given that, Rain is also an emotional experience that successfully draws the player into this dream like world of rain.
80%Rain Review: a damp squib, or a ray of sunshine?
Visually arresting and audibly moody, Rain is a little damp in terms of depth. Fans of Flower and Journey may enjoy the experience.
