Heavy Rain

Do not look at the average rating and absolutely recover it, even though the commands on PC with mouse and keyboard are impractical and bordering on delirium and there is some flaw or improbability in the plot.
Lacerating and emotional, a cult.

As a twelve year old when this game released I had never played anything quite like it, and at the time it was engrossing enough for me to platinum it.
For all the laughable acting and gaping plot holes, there are many surprisingly endearing moments from these faux American accented puppets, and as a whole the game can be compelling if you enjoy basic thrillers/mysteries. It's noticeably more focused than Cage's earlier and later works, although this isn't saying much. Sure, the plot holes and red herrings are glaring, and the twist is literally baby's first detective novel/trope, but I sure didn't see it coming back then.

I think Quantic Dream should stop trying to make American/international games and embrace their country of origin. Everything in their games are about as American as the house in RE7 is from the deep south, though you could argue this adds an unintentional uncanny quality to the game which elevates it.

Heavy Rain's biggest flaw asides from that which I've already mentioned, is that it doesn't embrace the psychology/backstory or go deep enough on characters like Norman and especially Madison, as they're only interesting on a surface level.
For all the time you waste about with Ethan in the first hour or so, the character development is seriously lacking. Still, I can't help but love it... and yes, the music is great.
