    Favorite game of all time

    I am completely in love with this game, the characters all have unique, lovable, and relatable personalities that make them feel like real people (ironic if you've finished the game).

    The art style is beautiful, and dynamic and matches amazingly with the tones and atmosphere of each scene.

    I have very little complaints with the game, the only notable one being the pacing towards the end, it feels pretty rushed but not enough to really take away from the games experience.

    Apart from the end, the pacing is otherwise very good and feels realistic, if something boring is happening its slow, if something awesome is happening its fast.

    I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for something relatable yet awesome, it's worth every penny.

    Despite its lovely art style it can bring you to depressing levels you never knew such game could do. Playing the game through the eyes of a college dropout is hard as a lot of times the game imitates the real life social embarrassment.

    That until it suddenly turns into a different game. It takes a deep turn to the cult mystery genre. It has some really haunting scenes especially with the perfectly placed soundtrack. Such a shame the last section of the story is so rushed and the ending isn't as satisfying as the beginning of the game.

    A brilliant game

    This game, Night in The Woods, appears to have every quality and aspect sorted. The animations look spectacular, the story is very intriguing, and the characters pull me in further and further. This game has a great art style and a very good soundtrack. I rate this 8/10 because I think the story is too short and there is not a lot of reason to play the game again. Nonetheless I still enjoyed it. It makes me sad to think that my journey with Mae, Bea, Gregg and Angus is now over. A lovely, inspiring short adventure, like What Remains Of Edith Finch. Thank you for reading.

    The best video game ever made, not even close

    I have never encountered any piece of media in my entire life that I care about as much as this game. It is beautiful, funny, heartwarming, intelligent, and deeply saddening. The game has a mystery plot, but you don't play it for the plot. You play it for the incredible characters, not just the main four. Every character in this game has its own personality and story. There are so many different things you can do, so many choices you can make, and while it's possible to finish this game without experiencing most of it, you get out of this game what you put in. On my first playthrough, I opted out of a lot of optional content, which lowered my enjoyment of the game. On the second playthrough, however, I took the time to experience this game to its fullest, and I was not disappointed. Truly a one of a kind game. Do yourself a favor and play this.

    Little slow at begining

    Game was little slow and boring but soon the game keeps getting interested and intense as the story progresses.

    Sounds and music of this game are great and enjoyable.

    It would have been good if the conversation between two characters has voice-over instead just of reading the long conversation which was boring.
