The Good
- A realistic, engrossing story that’s beautifully told through environmental clues and audio narration. From the spot-on writing to the authentic setting to the masterful story structure and pacing, this is interactive narrative at its best.
The Bad
- Control issues could be slightly problematic for some
- emphasis on exploration over puzzles will disappoint anyone expecting a traditional adventure.
Our Verdict
Excellent
A superb game that excels in just about every area, held back only by one or two notable flaws or a collection of smaller ones that prevent the game from earning full marks.
Gone Home does only one thing but does it superbly, telling a touching story solely through exploration that makes it well worth experiencing.
