Oh hey, my review of Gone Home, GameSpot's last ever 9.5, is currently featured again on GameSpot, presumably because of the Switch release. It's one of the best and most important games of all time. You should play it.https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/gone-home-review/1900-6413000/ …

Remember that with Gone Home, it's all in the details. It's not just the overt narrative that's in Sam's journal entries, not by a longshot. It's in the dad's telling obsession with JFK. It's in the ceramic skull from Mexico on one of the shelves. All the pieces matter.

I don't know if you're the only one. I can only say that I didn't feel that way. I thought the ending was perfect.

It deliberately subverts horror tropes. I think one of the most powerful things about it is that it's ultimately an unequivocal validation of queer love. If there had been a "grim reveal" in the attic, I would have been quite disappointed.

But queer narratives SO OFTEN end tragically. It was actually rare and surprising in this case to have a story NOT do that, to say, for a change, YES, these two *can* make their love work in this hostile world.
