I know that I can't possibly have missed anything, because Edith Finch forcibly redirects the camera every time a new line of dialogue starts, but I really feel like I must have missed something. The story slides right into episodic tales that are each incomplete on their own, and there's no real framing narrative to give them weight, and they never come together into anything collectively. It's just a bunch of "imaginative" mini game/walking sequences. They vary in style but none are particularly impressive on their own. It reminds me of Ethan Carter; a bit less sense of buildup and letdown here but the same ultimate emptiness.
