    Such awfully unfair game! Everything is a disaster! Nobody survives!! I did 10 play throughs and everybody died either killed or suicide. The games throws at you all the calamities without warning or fairness. I’m simply fed up. It’s sucks. It’s just evil!!
    Update: Finally after more than a dozen of tries I survived. It’s a grueling experience because of the random mechanics. I recommend    Such awfully unfair game! Everything is a disaster!

I recommend that if you have the patience to play it , take notes of everything there is and be over-prepared with your stash of things, including food and weapons.    … Expand

    The only unfortunate thing about the game is its occasionally stilted dialogue and what some may consider higher difficulty when dealing with certain parts in Classic and Stories Modes. Otherwise, This War of Mine: Complete Edition is nothing short of fantastic, and a truly wonderful addition to the Nintendo Switch’s library – despite the fact that it’s extremely depressing and a harrowing look at war.

    This War of Mine puts the player at the centre of an absorbing war environment and uses its original gameplay mechanics to present a series of intense challenges that will make anyone who picks it up embed themselves with the game up to a surprising level. While there are technical issues that should be corrected, This War of Mine comes out mostly unscathed in its role as a story of war and survival.

    This War of Mine remains an affecting survival experience on Switch and this edition is a comprehensive package. A couple of minor technical issues do little to diminish its power and, although the lack of touch controls is odd, sleep mode is a winner for squeezing in a few days as-and-when you can. Switch arguably helps make this downbeat game as accessible as possible, though there’s little point in double-dipping if you’ve tried it elsewhere. It deserves to be played in whatever form you can find it, though, and is therefore a very welcome addition to Switch’s diverse catalogue.
