Until Dawn Review



Reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on PlayStation 5. Also available on PC.

“This remade version of Until Dawn features a substantial visual upgrade that bring it in line with some of the best-looking horror adventures on the PlayStation 5, and Supermassive’s definitive horror story is just as gory and schlocky as it’s ever been. However, its cinematic flair is slightly undermined by the new over-the-shoulder camera, and it suffers at the hands of a frame rate that’s choppier than even the most caffeinated of axe murderers. Movement is noticeably slower and more sluggish than it used to be, and the handful of new gameplay features – like the pointless totem-turning mini-game – are unwelcome and don’t even come close to justifying this remake’s premium price tag especially when the original is sitting right there next to it in the store. Never mind the eight potential victims to be found inside its cabin in the woods, if you’re still determined to play this half-hearted horror remake you should at least wait until it’s the price that is slashed instead.”

  2. Hey did you know you didn’t have to end middle of sentences with a rise in inflection? Please just talk like a human. It’s kind of maddening. Halfway through a sentence there a rise and a pause and then finishing the sentence with a lower inflection. Repeat repeat repeat. Bro…

  3. I'm an IGN reviewer,
    "All of my sentences are going to go UP in the MIDDLE ^… before coming back DOWN. That way you know that I'm reviewing a VIDEOGAME^ …. while talking like it's the local NEWS."

  4. worse controls, worse animations, worse movement, no new mechanics, and even the graphics aren't 100% an improvement. this was a cash grab and a poor attempt at reminding us that once upon a time they made a good game.

  5. If they kept the original soundtrack, added a classic camera mode, and polished up the bugs and performance issues plus maybe made it $10 cheaper, this would have been much bettter received. They could still fix it, but they probably wont.
