I enjoyed watching my brother play WC3 a lot, especially for the story, but I could never make it through the whole game myself. Something about the RTS genre just usually doesn't do it for me. The strategy goes straight over my head, and the hotkeys are a lot of work.

#53 What Remains of Edith Finch

This game is family nostalgia in a box. It simulates if you could wander your childhood home, as it was when you were like 10, stopping every few feet, remembering all the old couches, toys, posters, trophies, the foods you used to eat, the drawings you put on the fridge, the christmas cards, the scuffs on the walls, the hardships, all as it was.

But even better: they're not your memories, it's a close friend's home and memories, and they're *sharing* these childhood traumas with you, as you walk together, through their abandoned childhood home.

Which sounds depressing, but it's the sort of thing that bonds people, like a late night campfire. OK, yeah it's pretty depressing, but the traumatic stories have a decent dose of the supernatural, comically so, which helps keep it light.

But even though the stories are unbelievable (even within the fiction...), there's a sprinkle of relatability to them. The story of the sibling who got hit by a train, is a great example. I mean, the train part isn't the relatable part. But that character's backstory really haunts me...

BEST LEVEL: The comic book level. It's the most halloween, which I love. It's like a scary story good for a campfire.
