Revolutionary for its time, but playing it 12 years later…it just preaching to the choir. And playing it now, the gunplay is actually horrible.
Not to diminish its importance to gaming and anti-war media in general though. It’s eye opening when compared to current events (ie, what’s happening to the Palestinians), and I’d argue its importance can help people understand what goes on in war conflicts. I hope it can be relisted soon, the accessibility of this game is needed now more than ever.

Unexpectedly exceeded my expectations. Solid story, acting and writing feels like a side story of the old silent hill from the PS2 era. Chases are atrocious but with a guide by your side it’s livable and fast to get through. I’m quite happy I enjoyed this one so much; I much rather have a middling Silent Hill game that keeps interest on the series again than a game that outright destroys the franchise again (Praying Silent Hill 2 remake doesn’t cause this)

a really, really well done exploration on growing into a young adult and reconciling with the mistakes you made as a teenager. it follows the recent trend of media that focuses on generational trauma within non white families (which dont get me wrong, I relate heavily with as a trans gay brown man myself), but in this particular context I wish the game continued to focus more on Jala's own faults hurting all her love ones than simply ending it on "It was her grandmother ruining her mom and her all along!!" (or that the game kinda skipped over her last relationship was a vastly older woman taking advantage of her when she was in her early 20s and isolating her from her friends and family but I digress).
Overall, a really good game! The gameplay does get stale but obviously the main intrigue is the writing, especially the characters. Tyler might be the best character ever i think

improvement over the first game in the series for sure. all the mechanics are streamlined and the writing and voice acting is unbelievably triple a levels. while the story kinda loses me near the ending, the brotherhood certainly knows how to make an emotional journey that drives the player to finishing the game. cant wait to see what else they would do in this series!
