8. This Is a True Story
It would be great to get more experimental games on Netflix’s slate like This is a True Story, a game about a young woman struggling to cross a harsh landscape as she attempts to collect enough water to cook a meal for her family. As much as I appreciate what it tries to do, there’s a part of me that wishes the games’ controls made you feel more of the drudgery of the characters’ long trek across the landscape rather than just pressing right on the screen. As it is, the game focuses on telling its story with no real control.
