The Vanishing of Ethan Carter was one of the most gorgeous games I have ever played when I reviewed it on PC back in 2014, and now that it’s on PlayStation 4, I can give it the same high praise on this system. Make sure to read that review, because nearly a year later, my thoughts on this atmospheric adventure game still stand.
