J. Hugo of Kaboomshark writes "Ever since I got myself into the more artistic indie video games out there with titles like Flower, Journey, and Ico as prime examples in my library, I’ve always clamored for more. Rain, as you might expect, caught my interest when it was announced and how could it not with a simple, yet interesting premise: characters, who are invisible except in the rain must traverse through a hauntingly beautiful city."
What it feels like to be lost in the dark in the puring rain? Well, PSN exclusive Rain might have an answer for that..
CDW:Occasionally the timing of the puzzles can be frustrating, and waiting for your companion to catch up can be tedious, but overall the gameplay is simple and effective. On occasion it feels as though the gameplay sections are in the way of the rest of the game which is a shame but again it’s not enough to spoil the real enjoyment of Rain. Definitely worth a play for anyone interested in an emotion driven platformer with an atmosphere in keeping with Limbo.
Jarrett from IP writes: "rain succeeds in various ways, but fails in the most important ones. It’s a beautiful narrative, presentation, along with an adoring gloom and darkness, but it’s lazy platforming causes uninspired puzzling, and insipid artificial intelligence. These factors hold rain back from being only slightly better than average."
