This review contains spoilers

At the end of the day I was moved, and that's more than I can say most of the time.

But there's some weird tonal stuff here. Some of the deaths are very pulpy, from the buck knocking Sam off a cliff (complete with a camera taking a timed picture of his descent!) to a guy busting out of his bunker only to immediately get run over by a train. But then there was a baby literally drowning in the bathtub????? I actually looked away from the screen for that one. So I experienced a little bit of whiplash there and I'm not sure if that was wholly intentional.
(edit: Actually in retrospect I think this is more about my personal feelings on, say, infant children dying unattended in the tub rather than anything strictly in the text of the game)
So, look. It's an experience. I would recommend this experience with some qualifiers.
