A masterclass in narrative, game design, structure, and creativity in video games, What Remains of Edith Finch is also an incredibly striking, rich, and consistently sad story. The attention to detail, the coherence and originality of each story, and their dark tone all contribute to one of the best experiences I've had with a video game. An extremely depressing experience, but still so wonderful. A true work of art of the modern world.

Giant Sparrow's next project is something the video game industry needs more than almost anything else right now. And I am undoubtedly standing in the front row of this (hopefully large) waiting crowd.
