The Vanishing of Ethan Carter

Nothing is so simply put in The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, but to put it simply, this game is absolutely worth the $20 price tag. It’s not long (about four hours), nor is it particularly challenging, but through and through, this is a beautiful game of strange, twisted, and sometimes sick puzzles.

A stirring tale that walks a fine line between the human and the supernatural. As the layers begin to peel back, what you'll find is a story told with a level of cleverness and elegance rarely seen in games. It confirms the feeling you had from the first breathtaking view; when you enter into Red Creek Valley, you're in for something special.

The high visual quality, the complex of stories and the charm of Red Creek Valley make The Vanishing of Ethan Carter a title that is hard not to recommend.

No matter from what perspective you look at it, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is an impressive title. The special storytelling, absurdly beautiful game world and the intimate atmosphere make this a game for everyone.

The story, the full narrative, is relevant to a lot of children like Ethan Carter and is steeped in sobering realism. For that, I would encourage you to discover it and find him.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter tells an interesting story and presents the best graphics possible today on a PC. Although the presentation of the world is wonderful and drives you right into it, the game lacks NPCs, dialogue and would need a lot more puzzles to fill the open world much more properly to not bore the player at times. The game is more about exploring a detailed world with some rare quests in about 4-5 hours than enjoying any other "regular" adventure game.

For players who like story and experience to trump all else, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is a low-key journey with some interesting ideas.

'The Vanishing of Ethan Carter' has an amazing story, the all atmosphere of it, the soundtrack, the telling of the story bit by bit, its a lot of fun. also the game is running on a very good game engine and it looks fantastic. one small bad sign, is that the game has a bug, that make the game stuck (only the mouse and the zoom works, and the character cant move), because this game do not have a saving at any point system, it was a bummer, but I finished it, so it was good.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter was a cool experience, the story and narration were solid even though it felt short but i think it fits with what the game has to offer. i really liked the breathtaking sceneries and the beautiful soundtrack. although, the game fell short in terms of being a 100% polished, ready to drop type of thing. the voice acting at times and character movement at other times, and it feels like they get you out of being fully focused on the game and trying to understand the story. i see the vision that the developers possibly had in mind and what they were trying to achieve, and i feel like if the game was developed and worked on by a more experienced and well-funded team, it could've been a much better experience that's for sure.

I hate that I have to give this game this rating, because I think it could've done better... if only the game hadn't made it SO difficult to get through it. At the beginning of the game, they say they aren't going to "hold your hand." Well, there's a chasm between a game that says everything you have to do, and one that literally says nothing. It's doubly unfortunate because I recently got done playing The Forgotten City and that game is INCREDIBLE. And this game is so so similar to it in it's design. And one thing they did was allow for clues to naturally arise from dialogue. But there was none of that here. It drove me to the point of needing a walkthrough for the entire game. And I knew it had potential when I still enjoyed playing it with the walkthrough right there available for me, so to anyone making a game like this, please don't make it so barebones. Add a bit, doesn't have to be much. All that aside, the story is truly beautiful and how it ends provides a satisfying conclusion to the story. The graphics were beautiful. The dynamics of the game were also interesting (once I had the walkthrough) like creating scenes and that sort of stuff.

I really didn't like it, the story is meh, some puzzles are really really bad etc. I would not recommend

the game is beautiful and sounds great, but it's held down by very slow pacing, puzzles that take forever to solve, if you mess up you have to start all over again, and the story doesn't make much sense unless you look up the lore...
