Gone Home has a powerful story to tell and the whole game is built around it. But this game isn't for everyone, however fantastic the story is. Those who emphasize the importance of gameplay and who put it high above the story department, should probably give it a pass. But those who value story, world building, writing and characters the most should definitely check it out, but again a fair warning - there's very little gameplay to be found here and you'll spend most of your time wandering around the house exploring, piecing together and listening to the story.
Pros: Exceptional voice acting, fantastic writing, superb story(telling) and characters, attention to detail makes the world, house and characters feel authentic, great atmosphere, magnificent exploration
Cons: Visuals make the environment feel too sterile, ''ghostly'' avatar, little gameplay to be found, music cuts off too soon
