8. Thirty Flights of Loving
Four playthroughs and I still cant tell you what Brendon Chungs Thirty Flights of Loving is about plot wise, anyway. Thematically, its about love, loss, betrayal, freedom, all those great themes usually associated with literature. But Chungs games at least Thirty Flights of Loving and Gravity Bone feel like they have more in common with short stories than they do with what traditionally passes for a video game. I wont discuss the specifics of either game since to do so would possibly tarnish your first experience with them. Just trust me on this: play both of them. Gravity Bone is free; Thirty Flights of Loving is dirt cheap. I can almost guarantee youll want to dive right back into Thirty Flights of Loving after your first play-through and figure out what the Hell just happened.
