Until Dawn Review

By Jessica Vazquez

Save the Cheerleader, Save the World.

With a shallow bench of high-quality exclusives for the PS4, Until Dawn is an impressive entry into the horror genre. The pacing of the narrative is spot on, and even if you wander around an area before heading to a main objective, the story never feels like it drags. Every chapter is comprised of…

  • Strong storytelling and plot twists
  • Reputation and character trait system
  • Totems are useful for survival and hints
  • Well-executed mise en scène
  • Failing can be fun
  • Overly stereotypical/cheesy dialogue at times
  • Can't skip cutscenes, even on replays
  • Can't adjust timer setting difficulty for QTEs
