I abandoned Through the Darkest of Times. Why? Well, to be honest it’s just because the game forced me to a dead end and I wasn’t able to continue playing it and finish it. This is a great game, at least good. I enjoyed it a lot. But just a disclaimer, it’s not a game to be played once, finished and shelved. Because in your first playthrough, you will not be able to achieve much.

There is also the very big chance of coming across a dead end like me. Checkpoint system is broken so a few mistakes again and again cause you to get stuck like me and force you to start a totally new playthrough. I, just wasn’t up to doing that while playing the game. It’s also an emotionally difficult game by the way.

There are these story moments that are fixed, they always happen. And they show you some brutal realities of living in Germany at those times. I really liked those narrative parts and the gameplay is fun but like I said, it’s not totally my style of game because it just wants you to start over and over again. Learn from your mistakes, get stronger and reach the end with that.

Again, that’s not for me. I really recommend this to you though. Check it out. Especially if you enjoyed something like “This War of Mine”, this is totally for you. This is a good game, just not for me with some aspects. And even in that case, I appreaciated parts of it a lot.
