In This War Of Mine you do not play as an elite soldier, rather a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling with lack of food, medicine and constant danger from snipers and hostile scavengers. The game provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle.
Also free to play for the next two days to give this great yet soul-crushing game a try.
Eh, I like games with minimal gameplay and heavy story. I loved What Remains of Edith Finch and Dear Esther.
I also like more intense games as well, like the Metro series and Alan Wake.
Different games for different moods.
