This is truly one of the greatest games of ALL time. Its story involves a girl (the main protagonist) trying to deal with her depression, anxiety and other negative emotions that have manifested into an entity (doppelganger) she must confront. As one of the greatest platformers I have ever played, its story is as equally brilliant. Hitting on heavy topics in a real way, the dialogue around these topics is seamless and organic in its execution. It can easily be adapted into a Netflix series or a motion picture film. Depression and anxiety are ills that are seemingly endemic to our generation. This game offers a bit of a nuanced approach to the overall discussion, along with an unforgiving yet addictive gameplay style that will have you frustrated and in awe at times. It will also certainly invoke emotion, which is what makes it especially unique and brilliant. 10/10. I also enjoy the fact that the protagonist is female. This is something that is still unfortunately uncommon in the gaming industry.
