Game was amazing - absolutely amazing. The feels man. Thank you so much Tequila Works.
I think i'm nearing the end now. My play sessions are getting very short because i don't want this game to end yet... which is always a good sign of how i feel about a game.
I'm surprised at how few collectibles i found so far. I found quite a few in the first world but very little since then. Some of them must be hidden quite well.

Just finished it. Yeah, people didn't exaggerate when they said the ending and the overall theme of the game
is something special.
Very good game. Loved it all the way through and it had excactly the perfect length.
Looking through the achievements it seems there is a lot of stuff I missed on my first playthrough so I will probably dive into it again later.
(as evident by the chapter names)
Still wonder what story significance the sentinels have.

Just finished it.
Loved every minute of it!
And that ending man, i think i had something in my eye.

Glad to read so many positive impressions, especially about the story and themes of the game. Those are often very important to me personally. Disappointed that people are pissed about the Denuvo when it's clearly not about so called "game preservation" that gets thrown around. Since they have said it will be removed later on. Hopefully PC version gets patched very soon if those clear issues are a wide spread problem.
i want to but i am seeing reports of a 1080ti struggling to keep 60fps..that should NOT be happening.

I have a 1080Ti and it was struggling indeed at 1080p, everything at high, with SSAA enabled,...., had to switch to FXAA and now I have a steady 60fps.
Well I finished
Really loving the game so far. Not interested in finding all the doodads but it's a really good atmospheric platformer. My only real complaint is that it leans on the sweltering "be amazed" music a little too much and the puzzles can be vague at times.

We just released a Producers Letter. If you're having issues with performance in RiME, please head over and give it a read.

Just finished this on PC. What a lovely game. I was trying to work it out and that ending just hit me like a tonne of bricks.
Very emotional and it's the first game in ages to really hit me! This game has the perfect length to it too. Any longer and it would have overstayed its welcome, and the music man. THE MUSIC.
Anyways, bravo to tequila works for smashing it out of the park as far as i'm concerned. Those 7 hours I've just played were something special.

What about a 30fps lock/limit option for consoles? This constant fluctuating framerate is not very smooth.

Game sounds solid, will grab it cheap on ps pro when it's fixed like firewatch.

well that was sure a
ending and then when you see the the chapter select titles
sad
My question exactly. I want to play the game, it's just sitting there, waiting for a patch. I'm sure I could play it as-is, but the camera judder and fluctuating framerate give me a literal headache :/

I'm about 2/3 of the way through (I think). I was up until 3 AM playing this last night, completely absorbed and lost track of time. What an amazing game, I don't want it to end.
Just finished this. What a beautiful game. The themes it carries, the visual storytelling, the landscapes, the music. Perfect. Well done, Tequila Works.
Edit: Wanted to add that this is right up there amongst my favourite "arty" games like Journey, Abzu, and The Last Guardian.

Same here. Want to play this gem in the best possible way. Please don't forgot us, the console players, Tequila.

Was debating between PC (i5, 8GB RAM, GTX 970) and PS4 Pro, but decided on the PS4 since I really like just kicking back on my couch with more relaxed titles like this. Performance has a few hiccups and there are times I can definitely tell the framerate is a bit variable, but after an hour and half or so I am really sucked in and the visual style of the game just doesn't stop being outstanding. Enjoying this a lot so far and I hope Tequila Works can patch the console versions so that more folks can enjoy this.
Very glad I grabbed a physical copy of this. It will sit proudly among Journey, Abzu, and TLG on the shelf. Still debating whether I'll double dip on the Switch down the road as well.

Love the character animations. So far the puzzles are simple but kind of fun. I dont find the game satisfying or addicting though.

I hope we get to see Switch by the end of June... Come on people, I need my fix :-(
Small hint
You open it from the other side, and need to find a way around
Big hint
From the way you came in, theres a place where you can drop down and shimmy across a ledge.
ARGH.
If you have RiME installed and an Oculus Rift on the same machine, RiME will automatically try to launch in VR mode (which it actually doesn't support), and then not work properly at all.
Until they patch it, the solution is to temporarily stop and disable the Oculus VR Runtime service, then launch RiME.
How annoying!

Finished this over the weekend. Thought it was great.
Don´t think of it as a puzzle game - there are puzzles everywhere, but they are fairly easy - think of it as en "experience".
It´s a good mix of:
-Brothers - a tale of two sons
-Journey
-The last guardian
I would put it below Brothers, but above Journey.
Overall really fantastic. Starting my completionist run NOW.

It dips in odd locations that don't seem that complex or busy too. Frustrating.
It feels a lot more linear than I expected from the early world, and as a result I'm not finding many collectibles. I'll see how I feel when I finish whether I'll go back and do an exploring run. So far it feels very much like a team ICO game but with a bit of brothers, without reaching the heights of either (which isn't really a criticism). Overall a nice aesthetic and atmosphere though
This is just about PC? What about console performance? Particularly Xbox and a 30fps cap for all?

Don't want spoilers. How long to beat? HLTB says 6½ hours.

Took me 6. Ignoring ALL side content and exploration though.
High praise, I loved Brothers. If this is anywhere near that, I'll be ecstatic! Might need to get this sooner than I was planning to.
Thank you, love the communication from you and rest of the team. It's very reassuring.

Are puzzles as easy and obvious as some publications like gamespot says? I really dislike games that are too easy even if they're pretty.

Yes. At least for me. (I´m an expert)
Seriously - I play a lot of puzzle games, it might be vastly different for someone else.

How about consoles? I'm seeing that Rime runs with an uncapped frame-rate resulting in a lot of judder due to frame-rates above 30 but usually below 60. A 30fps cap as an option would solve this.
Just finished it. Steam says it took 5.7 hours. Other than the conflict with SteamVR/Oculus, didn't notice any significant technical problems. Graphics settings on medium @ 1920x1200, seemed to hold 60 fps no problems. Played on a 980ti / 6700k / 32GB RAM.
Such a beautiful game.

Thanks.
Hopefully I'll be able to play this next weekend. I've been in a gaming slump, so a shorter game should be easier to access. We'll see.
I've really been engrossed in this, it's been a while since a game has captured me in this way.
I like the exploration of the ruins and swimming and the natural environment , it makes me think of both Tomb raider and Journey.
I really like the level of peril too, there are clear obstacles and enemies, but it's very relaxing to play and there is no stress involved.

It's not a technical problem that a game with these graphics had to be set on medium to run well on a $600+ GPU?
Yeah damnnn, what is going on with this game? Unity?
Unreal Engine.

I played it with everything on max apart from shadows on medium and TXAA not SSAO on a 970 and got 60fps about 80% of the time. Playing on 1080p res. A few dips every now and then in some random areas.
hey_it's_that_dog

Thanks for the info. That's my GPU/resolution and I can probably tolerate that kind of performance.
I didn't bother messing with the graphics settings. I think it picked medium by default, and I just left it there because the game looked fine. Lately I've become a lot less interested in fiddling with graphics settings instead of just enjoying the game.
It didn't crash. Didn't corrupt a savegame. Never got stuck, broke a puzzle, or ran into a gameplay/AI bug, or clipped through any geometry.
Yeah, that's a pretty low bar, but I've played lots of PC games that don't even meet that bar.
Looking back, this is pretty funny given that the game runs at a max resolution of 1080p on pro.

Oh goodness yeah don't go into the game expecting anything close. I'd go a 2 on that scale.
The puzzles are there to fill out the moment to moment gameplay. There are clever gimmicks but that's not the focus of the game at all.
