GamingLives takes an emotional look at the dark survival sim, 11 Bit Studios' gritty This War of Mine.
"I urge you to play this game when it is released. It won’t be pleasant, but it may open your eyes and will certainly leave a lasting effect. It was the most moving experience of my thirty-odd years of gaming, and 11 Bit Studios are to be commended on bringing such harsh realism to the much-maligned realm of video games. I applaud them with a heavy heart."
This War of Mine is part of the Never Alone: Video Games and Other Interactive Design exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art
The Humble Bundle Complete 11 Bit Collection just launched today. It includes nine items including Frostpunk, Moonlighter, Children of Morta, and more. As always, a percentage of profits from the bundle go to charity.
In Poland, This War of Mine is being used as a teaching aid by Polish secondary schools, with teachers given a scenario, brochure, and instructions.
