The Dark Pictures: House of Ashes

I absolutely loved Until Dawn, so I've played every one of the Dark Pictures Anthology games, and I think this most recent entry is easily the strongest in the series so far. All of the characters are well crafted & acted, and they see notable growth over the course of the game in a way that makes you really want to save them all (or at least, they did in the game I played given the choices I made). The horror elements felt fresh and unique- I really enjoyed the basis in Sumerian mythology, which I knew nothing about before I played this game. Just like the previous entries in the series, characters will live or die based on both the choices you make and your ability to nail QTEs, so if you enjoy that style of game (which I do), this game continues to nail that particular formula. Finally, without spoiling anything, I found the ending of this game to be more satisfying than the previous 2 Dark Pictures games. (I still really enjoyed playing those games, but I did feel that their conclusions were weaker than the rest of the game, whereas the ending of House of Ashes felt like it delivered much more strongly on the suspense and mystery that it developed over the course of the game.)
