This War of Mine

A bit of let down

I'm not sure what to think about this title. On one hand I find it a really interesting game because it had me care about my little group of survivors and imersed me in their world, but on the other hand I finished the whole game in one 8 hour long sitting. The interaction between you and the NPCs is really simple and consists of either being hostile or engaging in barter. NPCs react to you killing their relatives or stealing their stuff, but there are no quests or branching dialog options or any other interaction, which in my opinion is a pitty. Also I have expected a more detailed epilogue regarding the choices I have made thorough the game. Simply stating "you decided to help you neighbours" doesnt really add to the story. I know I have helped them because I decided to click the "yes" button which resulted in one of my survivors leaving the party for one day - quest done. Even that could be overlooked if game supplied some more detailed quest info like what happened to my neighbours after the story of game ended? how did my action influenced their later lives? All in all this is an interesting game, but for the price I would expect a lot of more content. Also Linux version crashes every other "ingame day". Windows version worked without a problem for me.
