Despite being barely longer than an hour, Adios might be the game I've thought about the most this year. It's a solemn, quiet story that plucks on the most sensitive emotional strings with impressive ease.

I can't say for sure what you'll take away from Adios, but for me it was primarily a story of acceptance. About reckoning with your past and accepting the consequences of your choices, about making peace on your own terms.

Adios is admirably restrained, and when it erupts in short dramatic bursts, it feels like an explosion in your chest. I'm going to carry it with me for a while, and I cannot recommend it enough.
