    An interesting take on the survival/crafting/base-building genre. Instead of going out and fighting zombies or monsters, your characters spend most of their time scavenging resources to stay alive. The game forces you to make choices that actually matter, and pacifism is often preferable to risking your character's lives in battles they may not win. The story, such as it is, is emergentAn interesting take on the survival/crafting/base-building genre. Instead of going out and fighting zombies or monsters, your characters spend most of their time scavenging resources to stay alive. The game forces you to make choices that actually matter, and pacifism is often preferable to risking your character's lives in battles they may not win. The story, such as it is, is emergent as your characters create their own path trying to stay alive in a violent and bleak setting. There is an undercurrent of despair and hope that the developers fostered beautifully.

    On the downside, once you understand the mechanics of it, the gameplay becomes easy and repetitive. There are also a few mechanical quirks to the controls that are quite frustrating as your characters starts climbing walls or going down stairs instead of going straight like you want them to.    … Expand

    The controller is a bit rusty, but don’t let that stop you from experiencing one of the most compelling stories in this generation.

    The console version of This War of Mine is solid but it does not offer enough new content to justify playing the game again if you’re already familiar with it. [03/2016, p.50]

    I can see endless potential for a game centered on civilians rather than one centered on the all-too-common soldier stories, but this game just isn’t that one.
