PS4Blog.netAug 20188/10Besides some small technical glitches in the games causing some slowdown here and there, I really liked Anamorphine. It touches on some tough topics and avoids doing it in a cliche way. The world it paints is interesting, and the story can really home for some. If you are a fan of walking sims, then I think there is a lot to like here. If you don't love walking Sims, then this one certainly won't change your mind.

GamePittRob PittJul 20187.8/10Anamorphine is a visual focused non-narrative story in which you must delve into the mind of a man haunted by guilt and anger over his own inabilities to help his wife. The game has you travelling from memory to memory as you reconstruct what actually happened and how you feel via fantastical environments and a spectacular soundtrack. Unfortunately, the PS4 version has a few issues such as frame rate drops and stuttering. However, I imagine these issues should be resolved within a few patches.

GameSpaceRobin BairdJun 20187/10Overall Anamorphine is a touching and interesting story which is infinitely relatable. I wish the storytelling had been a bit more varied and I hadn't had my issue with motion sickness. All of that said, if you enjoy narrative exploration games this is a good one to check out.

Push SquareSimon FitzgeraldAug 20184/10Anamorphine is a very unique walking simulator which explores very mature themes and has a very well presented intriguing story that successfully raises awareness of depression and the impact it can have on people's lives. Although Anamorphine's story is interesting, it ultimately fails to be a truly entertaining and fun experience due to the overwhelming amount of performance issues throughout. If you're looking for a new walking simulator to enjoy, we'd recommend hopping on your bike and cycling the other way.

The Digital FixEden PenkethAug 20184/10A lack of visual flair or narrative complexity leave Anamorphine feeling dull and long winded, the cursory way it touches upon difficult emotional issues born out of interpersonal problems and substance abuse comes off poorly as a result.
