Definitely, it's a riot. Does a really good job of balancing horror and belly laughs. Not the easiest thing to pull off, but UD manages it.
Great party game, too. We played by switching the controller to a new player every time the scene changed to a new character. Pre-Covid, of course.
Fun game.
Fun game.
It's stupid as hell, in a very intentional, and heartfelt sort of way where it genuinely loves some of its dumb, awesome characters. I felt like I was playing through a raucous first season of an insane TV show or something along those lines. It's the type of horror that effortlessly goes from making you laugh to having you actually worried about a favorite character's fate.
Feels like it was made by people who really love horror, unabashedly, with no need to pretty it up into something prestigious. This game is a good time, OP.

It's an interactive teen horror film so if that sounds appealing to you at all you will enjoy it a great deal. I definitely did.
Because it isn't pretentious at all! Cage wants to be respected, and seems to have issues with his chosen medium's reputation; Until Dawn wants you to have a great time, and force you into some seriously difficult decisions to make it have weight. Which ironically ends up with the schlocky horror love letter game doing better things with the medium than the self-serious veteran developer who desperately wants to be lauded by people outside his medium.
Gimme a poll so I can see that resounding yes. definitely worth playing. The experience of my family sitting and watching, shouting along with what was happening was perfection.
Unfortounately Man of Medan didn't click with us the same way. Little Hope seems interesting though.

This game made realize I don't hate the 'Quantic Dream' style games.
I just dislike David Cage, because I had a ton of fun with Until Dawn.
The thing is that all David Cage games are even more schlocky than Until Dawn. They just start out like interesting high concept dramas but devolve into some of the dumbest schlock in video games.
I had a great time with it, loved playing it to get its Platinum.
*For the right price.
Ehhh, I would say: Every game is worth playing.*

Yes.
Their other games...eh.
But Until Dawn is surprisingly solid.

This is emphatically untrue.
Really enjoyed playing through blind and dealing with the consequences of my choices. I think it works better as a branching storyline than Quantic Dream games because it's so condensed and doesn't take itself too seriously.
But it's also well-performed and the production values are quite high.

I had a great time with it when I played it last year through PS Now. It's one of the few games where it actually felt like my choices affected the outcome of the story. The story and horror is completely B-Movie material but the game doesn't take itself seriously at all which I found added to the fun.
Save it for post-corona so you can gather up some buds. I don't think I'd ever bother playing it alone, but as an unofficial multiplayer game it's one of the best.
Assign each person their own character that they play as and watch the chaos unfold. Few games have had me yelling as much as Until Dawn, and I was legit pissed at my friend for fucking up the ending at the last minute.

If you like Horror movies and the tropes of the genre, grab it. It's so much fun. Straight B-movie fun
Yeah I had a great time with it. Only a tiny number of choices actually had real consequences but it was good at convincing you otherwise.
