Our Verdict:
Gone Home does only one thing but does it superbly, telling a touching story solely through exploration that makes it well worth experiencing.
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.
