Spec Ops: the Line talks about war games without actually wanting to be one. It talks about how underneath that facade of heroes where they always come out victorious, where there is always someone harmed in the assault whether you want them to or not but it doesn't show or show.

The story and narrative of this game are the biggest strength of this game. It's a journey into the abyss where you keep going down both literally and figuratively. Horrible things happen that are just out of your reach. It's basically a linear story, where bad decisions and mishaps are the order of the day.

Play it if you like subversive stories, that try to do something out of the ordinary. The gameplay is the least of it, but it's serviceable.
