Video games can be an incredibly adept way to tell emotional stories. Watching a character’s journey on the big screen or television is one thing. It’s another thing entirely to embody those experiences and moments of growth.
A recent example of a game leveraging its interactivity to tell a resonant and relatable story is Surgent Studios’ debut game, Tales Of Kenzera: Zau. The game recounts a young man’s struggle with grief, a hardship we all go through at one point or another. This gorgeous tale succeeds on every level as a narrative and manages to deliver a fun Metroidvania in the process. And for those who haven’t played through one of last year’s best indie games, Tales Of Kenzera: Zau is debuting on Game Pass this week.
