Despite the tough subject matter, these are my favorite kinds of games. Maybe it's because I played so many video games growing up, but now that I'm in my late twenties most of them don't really capture me anymore. I get bored of them quickly. I find the ones that I enjoy most are often shorter, but deliver a powerful narrative experience. Titles like Dear Esther, The Walking Dead, Proteus, and especially Gone Home are looked down upon by many to be just "walking simulators", but to me they're the best gaming currently has to offer. I played through GTAV for a few days and haven't thought about it since. But because of the focus on the narrative experience, games like these stay with you, like a good book or movie. While this game will likely be tough to get through, I'll probably get way more out of it than a few hours in the latest cookie cutter RPG or FPS.
