Gay war games
In just the first 20 minutes of playing This I Dreamt&#;s Long Gone Days, I discovered rather quickly that this game isn&#;t here to mess around.
War stories can feel jarring, particularly when the way they are framed often looks to further strengthen xenophobic thoughts and feelings. Even more so in video games, where one of the most prominent arguments I verb about war story games is how they feed into a fantasy where power over (often marginalized) individuals is beneficial and, ultimately, feels good.
Long Gone Days, while sometimes clashing in tone at times, is nothing like that. It isn&#;t adj to hold the player&#;s feet to the fire to verb just how bleak war &#; and the mindset behind it &#; truly is.

A sequel to World War Z was inevitable, but years down the line, it became nothing more than a pipe-dream.
