I have been meaning to play This War of Mine for a long time. When I found that This War of Mine: Final Cut was coming to PS+, I knew I had to give it a go. After a few playthroughs getting to grips with the game mechanics, I finally got the platinum trophy.
This War of Mine: Final Cut is a survival game that provides a stark reminder of the horrors of war. You control a number of survivors who have different skills and traits that can help or hinder your survival. In order for you to survive, you have to maintain the physical and mental health of your survivors. However, if you find yourself struggling to maintain this, you will have to decide whether or not you steal precious resources from others or outright kill them. Based on the decisions you make throughout the game, your survivors will voice their own opinion through their inner monologues, further cementing the positive and negative consequences of your actions. This War of Mine: Final Cut’s gameplay loop can be mixed up by creating your own story, changing a variety of settings including survivors, maps, weather, and length of the war.
Considering the trophy list, I never found myself bored with my time going for the platinum. There was always something I could work on in the moment and plan for in a future playthrough. The biggest hurdle of the game is understanding the mechanics and discovering what actions influences which stat. When you get the hang of it, This War of Mine: Final Cut is a straightforward platinum trophy.

Uma experiência rápida, simples e eficiente. O jogo consegue, rapidamente, cativar e nos fazer embarcar em uma boa dinâmica de sobrevivência. As histórias são conflitantes e intrigantes, contudo a jogabilidade é simples — até demais, digo, de forma negativa. A sensação é que poderia ser mais. Ainda assim, vale a jogatina a curto prazo.
The amount of hours I've spent on this vs the amount I've paid is insane. Well over 150 and it goes on sale for like, 2 bucks.
Your initial first playthrough, the game will feel miserable and you will have to make tough decisions. The first time experiencing this is very special.
Multiple playthroughs in, the tone of the game begins to change. You don't feel the impact of the game as much, but you instead get sucked into the mechanics and the skills of the various characters. It becomes less of a story and more of a game if that makes sense, but I mean it in a good way!
It took a long time on Switch but we did eventually get all of the content. If we didn't the score would be much lower. As a port it is just ok. I have had the occasional crash, but nothing crazy.
It's a really memorable experience that I can't recommend enough. Really easy to get lost and dive in deep to this one.
