The Bosnian War begins in the early 1990s, leading to severe sieges and civilian hardship, events that inspired This War of Mine's portrayal of wartime survival.
One of the longest sieges in modern warfare history, the Siege of Sarajevo saw civilians trapped in a city under constant attack and bombardment, much like the scenarios in This War of Mine.
The video game This War of Mine is released, offering a unique perspective on war by focusing on civilian survival during conflict rather than combat itself.
Absolutely loving playing through this right now. If you like the old-school combat/puzzle mix that quite a few old jpgs have - this game is gonna blow you away. Dungeons, puzzles, bosses, nice progression - it's a love letter in the best sense of the phrase. Worth every penny and then some.
This game is such a beautiful love letter to old school JRPGs. Real Golden Sun vibes at times. If you enjoy any of what I just mentioned, it's worth giving this one a shot.
It's fun thinking about this game. I think it's a great game for people to play even if they don't have the nostalgia. Holds up well. Steam Deck verified (naturally). There are more and more indie FPS games inspired by Half-Life 2 and some of its styles and gameplay loops - and all of them are so fun. O.G. Halo + This, and you have the backbone and inspiration of a lot of great games.
