Until Dawn – PS5 - PlayStation 5

Was waiting to give this review after the update because i wanted to experience more of the game in fps boost. Still a great game to this day and the small but new little tidbits they added in the game have been even more appealing. This game deserves the title of a “remake” even though they last version was great too.

Amazing game!! Love the revamp quality and extra gameplay story

Recomend buy..ps5 until dawn game..................

I LOVED the original Until Dawn, it pushed me to finally buy a PS4. I was excited for the remake, and for the most part it’s very good. It now has 2 video modes (a cinematic wide screen mode that shows much more, and a 16:9 mode that is zoomed into full screen, showing less picture than the cinematic mode). Gameplay has both Fidelity and Performance modes, but the cinematics look like they are locked in to only 30FPS Fidelity. Either way, beautiful game. This remake is littered with new scenes and “interactables” which make this game feel alot like the extended versions of the lord of the rings movies. Doesn’t necessarily need the additions, but if you loved the original then it’s fun to see the new additions. My issues are with the actual performance of the game and the update to totems. The game can be a bit buggy, with the frame rate of some cutscenes and even gameplay getting a bit patchy. The new third person view is great, but sometimes the characters seem to get stuck when you try to make them walk, and other times it’s almost like there is a delay between you moving the controller to make them walk and characters actually starting to walk. My biggest gripe though is with the totems. There is a new series of totems which includes new premonitions (very cool), but the remake requires you to locate a crack on each totem in order to actually see the premonitions. You have to turn and lower each totem until you find a glowing crack. It is ABSOLUTELY ANNOYING and honestly quite ridiculous considering all you had to do was pick up totems in the original game. I don’t know why they thought it was a good addition, but it definitely is not, it’s completely pointless. Overall though, it’s a lot of fun to revisit Until Dawn with improved visuals and new scenes. But if you played the original, wait until it’s discounted a bit to buy it. Definitely worth playing, but maybe not for $60.

Regarding the game, I find it pretty spectacular! It intentionally changes some of the art design from the original game, creating a different vibe with its updated lighting. At several points in the game, it looks incredibly realistic. But it’s not without its drawbacks the frame rate is noticeably choppy at times and the anti-aliasing is a mess. There are a number of bugs as well, relatively unpolished despite its sophisticated presentation. Regarding the package itself, the game arrived in pristine condition. It even had that new video game smell when I opened it! I did pre-order this item, however, so I expected it to come on its Friday release date. It didn’t come until Monday, which still isn’t so bad, but I set aside my weekend to play it and all that time was wasted. Still, Best Buy is always a great option to buy physical games, especially because of the security of their return policy. I’ll just not pre-order next time.
