“Game”
This War of Mine is a tough game to review, or at least, a tough game to rate. How do you rate a game that isn’t fun? And I don’t mean that as some kind of vexed gamer who approached this piece with the notion that any part of the experience would be joyous. Rather, my dilemma stems from…
-
Engaging survival scenario where nobody wins
-
Gameplay and achievements add to moral ambiguity
-
Emotionally taxing experience with little respite
-
Survivors don’t chitchat
-
Triggering images and events related to suicide and sexual abuse
