Liam Lambert, GIZORAMA - "A dark, dreary simulation game set in a fictional (albeit highly topical) Eastern European warzone, This War of Mine puts you in the rather grubby and tattered shoes of said conflict’s survivors – namely, the innocent civilians whose stories one rarely hears. Already, the game sets itself a loft yet intriguing goal: to force players to consider that there is more to war, and videogames, than shooty shooty bang bang. Thanks to some very clever design, and a persistent propensity to make you feel absolutely God-awful about everything, This War of Mine of mine not only succeeds, but it does so with flying colours (ranging from Codex Grey to Fortress Grey)."
This War of Mine is part of the Never Alone: Video Games and Other Interactive Design exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art
