Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy With the exception of one awkward sequence where you control animals from a first-person perspective, there’s a dreamlike nature to the way these sequences not only bend the rules, but completely obliterate them. I don’t want to spoil them because I got so much joy out of never knowing where the next memory would take me. With each one, nothing is safe when it comes to art style, perspective, or gameplay genre.

Each one is presented through a completely different gameplay experience that continually subverted my expectations. Once you find a specific momento in each of their rooms, you’re treated to a story of their death, told through fantastical allegories. The joy of Edith Finch is in fully immersing yourself in the final moments of each Finch’s life. While the whole thing is pretty much devoid of any friction preventing you from progressing (there are even fewer puzzles here than in the aforementioned Gone Home).

While exploring the house, the last living member of the Finch family, Edith, narrates with stories of the house, her family, and how the incredible lives they lived untimely came to an end. The only challenge is finding a way into each locked room of the house, generally through the use of secret passages that make the whole thing exude the charm and imagination of a pop-up book. In the two hours it took me to fully explore I ran the emotional gamut from feeling completely devastated to full of an energetic light to annoyed by noticeable performance dips, especially when I approached the house for the first time.
