A wave of criticism has emerged from dedicated fan forums regarding the latest remake of Until Dawn. Players are expressing disappointment, with many questioning the necessity of the remake following its release on April 28, 2025.
Many players took to forums to voice their frustrations. After only ten minutes into the game, some find themselves regretting the investment. Critics have pointed out issues like the drawn-out intro and awkward pacing.
The intro scene, described as "unnecessarily drawn out," appears aimed at satisfying fans craving more content, yet lacks the quality seen in the original. One comment noted, "the original gameโs intro was quick, snappy getting the job done in a way that perks the playerโs interest."
Thereโs growing concern over the character representations in the new version. Players are questioning why characters, intended to be teens, now look significantly older. As one fan pointed out, "why do all the characters look like they're in their 30s when they're supposed to be teens?" Another user stated, "I've seen them make Jessie kinda ugly when sheโs supposed to be a 'hot bimbo'."
The tone of the game has also come under fire. Critics feel the soundtrack does not match the horror vibe intended, with one commenting on an "unnecessary, unappealing TikTok zoomer song" that disrupts the atmosphere.
"Just writing this minutes into the game is wild. Until Dawn needed to be left alone. It's a legend, and should not have been touched."
Players have shared three main themes through their comments:
Character Age Misrepresentation: Many players baffled by teens portrayed as adults.
Tone and Pacing Issues: Concerns over music choice and storytelling pacing.
Desire for Original Quality: A strong longing for the authenticity and natural dynamics of the original.
User sentiments trend negative with users expressing frustration over the changes. A user remarked, "A lot of people here will agree the remake could've been better."
