While the game looks and sounds great I didn’t have any attachment to the characters-even Ethan. The key is scouring and searching every inch of the environment to find objects you may have missed. Everything you need to solve the mystery of why happened to Ethan is placed throughout the world just like items you’d find in the real one. There are no text popups, glowing auras around items, or mini map to guide you. Like I mentioned before the game won’t point objectives or items out to you. This is good because The Vanishing of Ethan Carter needs you to want to get lost in it’s world the team at The Astronauts have created or else you won’t progress through the game. Coupled with the lush visuals is equally stellar audio design that combines to create a very atmospheric experience. I kept mine at 60 and feel like it hit the mark most times. In the game menu you have the option to set the frame rate to a variable 60 fps or lock it down at 30 fps.
#The vanishing of ethan carter rating Ps4
I haven’t played the PC version but I can safely say the PS4 version is a quite the looker and I didn’t experience any issues with stuttering or slowdown. The original game launched on PC last year using the Unreal 3 engine but has been ported to the Unreal 4 engine for PS4. In terms of visuals The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is hands down one of the most gorgeous open worlds I’ve been in lately. I’m not going to reveal any plot points other than to say the game takes a few weird turns that made me want to see it though to completion. I admittedly got bored of the game and put it down for a few days but then returned and finished it in a single sitting. Since you’re not given much to go on the pacing of the game can vary depending on how much exploring you choose to do.
#The vanishing of ethan carter rating trial
Some of the scenes are easy to figure out and others are simply left to trial and error. From there you must unearth clues relating to the murder scene and then put them in the appropriate chronological order. You emerge from a dark train tunnel into a forest and eventually make your way to a victim who’s body is severed in half with his legs a train track and his torso a few yards away. You play as a detective by the name of Paul Prospero who received a letter from Ethan after he’s gone missing. It’s just you, the gorgeous world, and clues to help piece together how Ethan Carter….well….vanished. There is no action or killing (with the exception of a creepy miner later on). Before I dive in let me get something out of the way right now, if you need your hand held and require multiple clues to solve a puzzle then The Vanishing of Ether Carter may not be for you.
