Virginia is a game where you play as a detective that has zero dialogue and minimal text which is certainly a choice. It isn't about figuring out the case in order to progress as the game pulls you along for the ride in its short run time. You move and look around a bit and press X every now and then. I found the music did the heavy lifting in terms of keeping up the energy throughout the game. I was somewhat enjoying the story for the first while but it began to lose me in the imagery laden last third. I respect that the game has a vision and is trying to achieve something different from other games but I just didn't appreciate what it was going for.
