Gone Home (PS4)

Date Purchased:  June 7, 2016

Price: Free (PS+)

Greg Miller, a highly recognized games journalist convinced me to play this game again after quickly dismissing it initially.  He keeps talking about it and not being ready to start another long campaign, I downloaded it again and gave it another shot.   Greg Miller has lost all credibility.  Don't play this. The story is "kinda sorta okay I guess" but it was spoiled for me by Greg.  Your character arrives back at home after spending some time studying abroad to find your home empty, it's up to you to determine where everyone is.  It requires a lot of walking around a large home, reading notes and various papers throughout the house to determine where they went.  An audio journal from your disturbed sister plays in the background occasionally helping the narrative along.  Doom, then Abzu, then this?  Perhaps wrong time to play this game ... but no ... pass.
