    Жутко, стильно. Очень годный симулятор выживания, способный вогнать вас в депрессию.

    Interesting survival game. Very realistic. Has great replayability but after 1 successful run (and countless failures) I was too depressed for more.

    The most depressing war-sim game you'll ever play. It's a fantastic experience.

    I love it. If you´re able to let loose and get drawn away by the emotions this game is transporting you will have a great experience. Of course not in a good way. It is an awful expereince which can drive you crazy. Of course you won´t feel the same way you would feel in a real war but that's okay. This game will show you a site of war which is not often enough discussed in otherI love it.

This game will show you a site of war which is not often enough discussed in other videogames and which is right now quite important to know about.
    The graphical style is also quite nice and underlines the games message. It´s grey, dark and bland. The Gameplay is not balanced but quite hard (as it should be). Of course it´s still possible to survive the war. The overall design choices are very thoughtful and I never encountered a single bug. Pure 10/10.
    I think it was the right decision to create a small 2D-Game with tiny levels so the developers where able to focus on the gameplay and message. I hope that six days in fallujah will do as good as TWOM.    … Expand

    Unique concept for a war game so big points right out the gate for taking such a bold move. Game play was immersive, plus I am biased as I love a good game where you start with little and have to build your way up and survive. Art style and music are very well done to pull you into the bleak drudgery of this war setting.

    Brilliant game.
    Everything about it is good and lots of mods to use if you find it too difficult.

    This game perfectly shows what word 'war' means. It's a compulsory experiance for anyone, who thinks that war is 'cool'.

    Piękna akcja, wszyscy deweloperzy powinni pójść tą drogą, gra sama w sobie również bardzo dobra. #StopWar

    Great scenario, nice execution and very addictive! Really captures you in the atmosphere and this is what most is about a survival game.

    A very good game showing the hardships of civilians in wartime
    We have to survive in a city where shootings are going on, get food and make difficult rash decisions

    Ugh, the entry to the game sure is steep. But once you figure out the confusing interface the game only gets deeper and deeper. Has this unique "slav" smell around. Like Stalker. Something dirty yet strong. And well - war has ever been the subject of many games. But I dare to say - nothing told the story of what war really is - better than this one. Bravo 11bit.

    This War of Mine is a good tactical game that not everyone will be able to understand what is going on in the game. It's a relatively a simple survival game that reminds you of the grey and grim of war. The adventure combined with a little story behind make the game very realistic.

    At the same time a simple and ingenious game about the survival of civilians in the conditions of war and blockade.

    Interesting take on survival game, with quite sad and depresing feeling because of the setting. I played quite a lot an generaly if you stick to being a good guy trade/producer things get easy.

    I loved the game concept, mechanics, story, just pretty much everything!!! The only thing is that after a while, things get repetitive, so it kind of takes all of the positive points a bit down.

    One of the best games I've ever played, It tells the true story about war, that is not fire and glory as a lot of video-games and movies want us to see it. War is horrible, almost every time it's just for the ambition of two different groups and the civilians trapped in the middle are who suffer the most.

    I'm not sure if any death of one of my characters in games ever felt like when I lost someone in This War of Mine... I've felt miserable taking almost every life I've had to take. It was painful just to watch, but the playing experience was amazing and I'm glad this game exists and shows us the pain and cruelty of civil war.

    A survival game where you control a group of survivor civilians in a country at war.
    Art style is on point.

    A very different way of telling dramatic stories. 2.5D provides a good combat mechanic. Especially, considering emotional consequences before acts leading you to pretend as a civil-war survivor.

    For the price it is… I wouldn’t even say wait for a sale, I’d just say buy this game… it will challenge you, it will pull at your heart strings… but I think, especially in this day and age, we need games like this to remind us to care for one another and to point out what is really important.

    A deeply atmospheric, emotionally compelling game that manages to treat war as a serious topic and examines the hard choices made by those caught in the middle of conflict.

    Not many games can claim to be "edifying." I think this one can. [Issue#257, p.75]
