There is a lot to be said about Until Dawn, the interactive horror PS4 exclusive. Following in the footsteps of similar games that have been exclusive to PS4 like Beyond: Two Souls and Heavy Rain, the game takes the best of storytelling and throws the player in via interactive scenes (though the game is not a series of scenes) to bring out what the Verge calls
the best of horror films and games
Even Engadget calls the game the
best horror experiences — interactive or not — I’ve ever had.
After the jump, what many in the industry are saying about Until Dawn.
I can finally talk about Until Dawn. I loved it. I’m surprised to say it’s one of the best games of the year. Clever, engaging, and unique.

So, Until Dawn is a fascinating study in player-choice in games. Tough to say why without spoilers. It’s definitely a game you should play. — Andy Hartup (@AndyHartup) August 24, 2015

All this praise and it’s only been 1 hour since the game’s review embargo lifted. Also, hail Hydra. (Some of you will get this)
What’s happening tomorrow? Probably lots of stuff. But also, my video game #UntilDawn comes out. pic.twitter.com/Mndujvz04C
