Hey,

I played This War of Mine for a while. It wasn’t too bad. I found good points and bad points. how events transpired.

Let’s start with the bad. I found it got a bit repetitive. Dig, gather, try to eat, try not to die. Repeat. Likely die anyway. I didn’t like that if you tried to be a decent person, you ended up starving or getting shot. I don’t want to kill people or steal from people. If I wanted to do stuff like that, I’d jump on the GTA5 train. No thanks.

Now for the good. It was beautiful. The art style was gorgeous. The colour palette was stunning. The dingy, dank greys and muted colours were beautifully done. I loved the grungy textures on the ui. I loved the minimal simplicity of the icons. Additionally, I liked the character’s development and how their bio’s updated dependant on how events transpired.

Overall, I recommend it for casual gameplay, but it’s not something I could really hardcore get into, like DotA.
