Before Your Eyes
Play it on: PC, Netflix, PSVR2
Current goal: Remember there’s good in the world
The truth is that I’m probably not going to play video games much this weekend, so instead I’ll take this opportunity to recommend a game that might help remind you there’s good in the world in these trying times. Before Your Eyes is a blink-tracking adventure game that takes you through the life of a guy named Benjamin Brynn, with each blink jumping forward to a different point in his life. Its reflections on the way we try to play storyteller with our own lives make for one of the most affecting games I’ve ever played. It’s 90 minutes long and well worth spending a night in complete distraction-free darkness to finish it on one sitting. You won’t regret it. — Kenneth Shepard
