Gone home is worthless.

It is one of the most uninvolving and uneventful walking sims ever and has next to nothing to offer but a somewhat dense atmosphere.
And even said atmosphere suffered because of the games age, since much of that atmosphere comes from the fact that the house the game takes place in was well designed for its time. It had a homey feel to it and felt crammed and cozy enough that one might think people could live there.

However this holds absolutely no candle against the more recent video game homes, seen for example in Uncharted 4.

And while the story, its premise and solution is unique, at least for video games, unique doesn't mean interesting and it certainly doesn't mean good.

Aaaaaand the resolution of the story has to be one of the most unsatisfying, throwaway, lazy and cheap resolutions to any story ever. Something that was surely done exclusively for the purpose of subverting expectations.

Please stay away from this pretentious hipster garbage.
