Heavy Rain
David Cage and his studio Quantic Dream are known for making incredibly cinematic game experiences. Heavy Rain fits that bill exactly, and functions more as an interactive drama than a full video game. Heavy Rains story revolves around its central characters and unraveling the mystery of a string of murders committed by the “Origami Killer.”
The story in Heavy Rain is spellbinding with tough decisions, unbearable tension, and a ton of twists; the gameplay on the other hand is as simple as it gets. Occasionally you’ll guide a character around environments, select conversation options and have a series of quick time events. It’s not the deepest of systems.
You’re certainly not playing this game for action packed gameplay, but the scene to scene intensity has you gripped to your controller nonetheless.
