F*** the Wartainment!
"This War of Mine" isn't really a game at all and anyone trying to review it as such, is missing its point entirely. It's an interactive experience instead, telling a story of survival against all odds, a story of protecting a one's life as well as humanity and as such wasn't meant to be "fun", easy and casual. The ugly truth about the world is that there are real wars going on in numerous countries. These stories happen all the time, while we play computer games, eat pizza and argue over the Internet over silly things. War can happen out of nowhere, anywhere, anytime. Former Yugoslavia, 9/11, Middle East, Ukraine. If you think about it, having a refrigerator full of tasty food, a house with running water and electricity, a possibility to go for a walk without the fear of a sniper bullet and other simple things in life, which we take for granted, are great and unwarranted privileges, that other people can only dream of. Taking it into account, puts one's life in the right perspective, when important things matter the most and one can be a rich person even without a single penny in the pocket. It's because the life itself is the greatest treasure of all. Taking someone's life isn't "fun", as games and movies make us to believe! TWoM is in fact too easy. Rats, which you catch, don't carry diseases and parasites. Making of radios and other things is just a matter of few generic "parts". Survivors doesn't have to wash themselves, nor their clothes. Clothing doesn't wear with time. Lice are only briefly mentioned and not in the proper "game". There is an electricity in the shelter. Food and water doesn't go bad and the only method to get sick is to sleep in a cold room. Other scavengers don't empty your stashes. The list goes on. Some design quirks are actually welcomed, making player's life a little bit harder and more uncomfortable. War isn't fun and it's good that someone finally pointed that out, by means of a medium, which can sink in with Generation CoD.
