- Distraint: Deluxe Edition is short and sweet. Unlike the story, which is gruesome and a bit psychotic. I liked the whole experience, but I would have loved a longer playthrough and some different outcomes for the ending.
Kaelyn Daugherty · Oct 21, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - As I said, Distraint is a short game, but well worth the time invested. The story kept me interested, and while the mechanics are simple, they work well enough.
Anthony Cole · Sep 20, 2019 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - If you like weird games that make you laugh even unintentionally, then you’ll probably really like this game, because the majority of its faults are the same you would find in a horror themed B movie. The kind of movies that are objectively are bad, but are still entertaining so you catch yourself watching them more than one time just because they’re fun to watch. Sometimes that’s all you need. If you’re looking for a more serious horror experience though, or a truly interesting story, then you might look elsewhere.
Kindra Pring · Feb 29, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - DISTRAINT certainly seems to understand that the things that go bump in the night are less scary than the deep-rooted horrors that you can inflict on yourselves. This surreal-meets-the-mundane short story about a man's descent to metaphorical - and maybe literal - hell will keep you invested in the two and a half hours that the journey will last. Just don't expect any decent gameplay.
Athanasios · Mar 29, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - DISTRAINT: Deluxe Edition offers great story and perfectly crafted ambiance, regardless of it’s short run-time. Although it drags in the middle with questionable mechanics it is still a unique take on the point-and-click adventure genre.
Steven Green · Sep 29, 2019 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - It’ll only take you a couple of hours to see everything on offer here, although there are some amusing trophies for doing things like filling up your coffee maker with toilet water or trying to get a dog to sniff gasoline. That feels on the short side but it's just about sufficient. But it’s not the length or even the gameplay that you’ll be purchasing DISTRAINT for, it’s the thought-provoking narrative, and it’s a triumph on that level.
Adam Cartwright · Sep 26, 2019 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - DISTRAINT is clearly a story that wants to be told and while it’s not always successful in its endeavours, it does manage to successfully create a horrific brooding atmosphere to portray many dark human emotions. In a world where many horror games rely on cheap tactics to shock gamers, it’s refreshing to see a passion project with an engaging story and atmosphere on the market.
Daniel Hollis · Sep 23, 2019 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - En jouant à Distraint Deluxe Edition vous allez mettre votre palpitant à rude épreuve, l'histoire que nous raconte Winterveil Studios est très prenante. Vous allez apprendre à connaitre Price, notre protagoniste perplexe qui doit se confronter à des choix cornéliens. Vous devrez également résoudre des énigmes accessibles sans être trop simples et vous découvrirez le fin mot de l'histoire ! La version Deluxe gomme les quelques petits défauts qui avaient pu être remarqués pas les gamers et le résultat est bluffant !
Monkey Mike · May 10, 2018 Reviewed on iOS, AndRead full review - Os jogadores que contam os euros pelas horas de jogo não vão sair mal servidos daqui. É um jogo simples, não chateia o jogador e quando se dá por isso, já acabou. Existe uma sequela mas que ainda não chegou à Switch e quando chegar, lá estaremos para a receber. Distraint é quase um livro, se nos permitem a metáfora. É arte? Como a arte é subjectiva, cada jogador deve decidir por si.
André Pereira · Dec 26, 2019 Reviewed on Switch - È un'esperienza che rimane comunque impressa ed è una cosa non facile per un piccolo gioco mobile, sebbene questo non dipenda quasi per niente dalle sue effettive caratteristiche ludiche.
