By EdENFragments of Him is a solid walking simulator that deals with some delicate topics in a sensitive way, with a focus on story above all. Sure, the game looks nice, but its minimalist art style might not be everyone's cup of tea. Hopefully that won't keep you from playing this short but meaningful release as you'd be missing out on a good walking simulator.

By TraceyFragments of him handles loss and sexual orientation, two very tricky topics, in a sensitive way. Having experienced profound loss myself, I applaud the approach the developers took since the feeling of loss is very real in this game and it is presented in a proper way. A big message presented by the game, and one I approve of, is that if you're feeling depressed about loss or about your sexuality and how things are evolving around you, then you should seek help – there is no shame in asking others for their support! Fragments of Him is a great walking simulator with an excellent story and one you should pick up on PS4 today!

By Christopher D. AndersonIf you're interested in a good story, this 2 hour game is a good one and well worth it. If you're looking for more interactivity and gameplay, you may want to pass. The message of this game is very touching and bittersweet though.

By Tris MenzodaA heart-wrenching tale that would have been better off as a film than a video game.

By Angel DavilaFragments of Him feels like an uncomplete package, a short and quite disappointing experience that fails to go satisfyingly deeper in its characters development and move us.
