IGN said it best when they said " 'This War of Mine' might be the war game we need." I will go one step further and say it is the war game we need.

You take the role of citizens of the city of Pogoren, trapped in a bitter feud between militia-rebels and soldiers. Unlike any game I've played or heard of, neither side is "good" nor is either side "bad". Your job is to survive the bloody conflict. Every single day is a struggle to survive. Who gets to eat? Who gets to sleep in a bed? Who has to risk their life at night to go out into the city? And most importantly of all, can we take life of an innocent? All these are questions you'll ask yourself every day.

Before you begin 'This War of Mine' I highly suggest you attempt to get into character. Don't go in thinking "Oh they're just pixels." Put yourself in the shoes of each of your survivors and attempt to think what you would do. You'll find yourself truly asking yourself the tough questions you hoped you'd never have to ask.

I can't recommend "This War of Mine" enough. I will not say I was brought to tears, but this game has made me question what I am capable of. "War is Hell," said Sherman, and he was right. 'This War of Mine' does a better job depicting war than any game to date. There is no glamour, there is no honor. There is survival, and in the end that's all you can ask for.
