An audio/visual masterpiece of storytelling. What Remains of Edith Finch is a tragic, yet consistently interesting narrative that spans multiple stories and generations, all presented with the most interesting interactive mechanics possible. Edith Finch is far more than just a "walking simulator," but if it was to be designated as such, it's by far the best I've ever played.
Sadly, the Xbox One port is just a wreck. Although the game is playable and you can finish it, the Xbox One port runs terribly; consistent frame dips, texture pop-in, and occasional wonkiness with the controls are all over the place. Thankfully, off and on performance doesn't really matter for a game that takes things so slow and doesn't require precise button inputs from the player, but a smoother experience would've been much appreciated. I'm sure the One X and eventual Series S/X versions will run much smoother (and possibly the PlayStation 4 and PC versions), but the One S version is rough.
