Well, well, well. Imagine my surprise when I am looking through my PS4 games, and The Suicide of Rachel Foster, which I gave great praise for in my review, was offering me a free PS5 upgrade!! Yes, Rachel Foster is a PS5 game now. As if I needed another reason to discuss this game, let’s go.
The Story
“1993
LEWIS & CLARK COUNTY, MONTANA, US
Ten years ago, teenager Nicole and her mother left the family hotel after discovering her father Leonard’s affair with, and pregnancy of Rachel, a girl her own age who eventually committed suicide.
Now that both of her parents have passed, Nicole hopes to fulfill her mother’s last will to sell the hotel and make amends to Rachel’s relatives. With the will and determination to put that chapter behind her, she returns to the hotel with the family’s lawyer to audit the decaying structure.
As the weather unexpectedly turns for the worst, Nicole has no way to leave the large mountain lodge, and finds support in Irving, a young FEMA agent, using one of the first radio telephones ever built.
With his help, Nicole starts to investigate a mystery far deeper than what people in the valley thought. A story of love and death, where melancholy and nostalgia melt into a thrilling ghost tale.”
This game does a magnificent job at keeping the player at suspense, and watching your back as you play. As you walk the empty halls of the Timberline, you feel as if you aren’t quite alone. It makes for an interesting experience, and one I’ll be happy to play through time and time again.
Back to the story though, since I did deviate from the path. The story also kept me on the edge of my seat, not quite knowing what to expect and even when I thought I had the right idea, a curve ball would be thrown.
Cost
The good news is this is a PS4 & PS5 combo purchase, it seems anyway, so you’ll get both versions for the cheap price of $19.99 (USD) and it also is a game that goes on sale pretty often.
Trigger Warning
If you are someone with certain morals involving age gap relationships and even taboos, you may not be pleased with this game. I’m just offering that as a friendly warning. The game discusses certain activities and situations between an adult and a minor.
Conclusion
If you haven’t played The Suicide of Rachel Foster, now is a great time! With the PS5 version making this game look and feel better than ever, this is the chance to explore this amazing story and experience an unforgettable tale. If you already own the PS4 version, then remember to go claim your free PS5 upgrade.
