However, you don’t want to wait for any second to experience such a great story and enjoyable stress-free gameplay. So let’s dip in right now!
RiME is a masterpiece of storytelling without a single word
RiME made its first debut to the world in 2013. At that time, it was published by Sony and only available on PS4. Later, Tequila Works have gained the rights from the Sony, forming a brand new developing crew and bring the game to multiplatform. Since that time, the game gradually became more and more famous, and then turn into the best storytelling game of 2017.
The story of RiME starts on a beach, where you’ll control a young boy awakened on the land of relentless rain. As a newcomer to a foreign land, the boy is going on his journey to discover where he is.
No one is giving him any explanation, and the only clue he has is the large tower with the hole for a giant key on top. So, what to do when you don’t have other choices?
The most unique thing about RiME is that there are absolutely no words. You’ll experience the whole game without any dialogues and no text outside the game menu. Only silence. Don’t misunderstand me, dialogues are good. But with such kinds of game where you blend yourself in nature, silence is a suitable thing to let you understand how your character is feeling.
To get deeper into the game’s story will require some spoilers, which are really bad for such an amazing story, so you should try it yourself. All I can say is that RiME consists of numerous memorable moments that can touch everyone’s soul.
The gameplay
You’ll meet a cute fox who will lead you through your adventure. With your companion, you’ll wander around the land to find out the mystery behind it.
On the journey to the weird-looking tower, you’ll be able to meet a variety of creatures, as well as encountering some furious enemies. The creatures are an attractive part of the game. With their abundance in kinds as well as the interactions you can make with them, those creatures will certainly cost you two or three hours to play the game again.
Apart from discovering, puzzles also play an important role in the game. In order to get to other lands, you’ll have to solve some ingenious puzzles, including various kinds such as finding and placing suitable items or simply just pushing and pulling blocks. The difficulty level of the puzzles is quite medium, so don’t worry if you’re a really bad puzzle solver.
For me, RiME is not only a game. It’s also an art.
