go? What
happened to
everyone?
This mystery
slowly
unravels as
you navigate
your way
throughout
the house.
The themes
at play here –
uncertainty,
fear, romance – can be found in many
games, but such things feel often feel
tacked on or not wholly believable. In
Gone Home they come off as organic
and relatable.
The writing is engaging, but so is
the atmosphere of the house. It just
begs to be explored, and it is a joy to
do so. Since you are a family member,
it doesn’t seem odd or creepy to paw
through drawers, shelves and books.
Everything can be picked up and
examined at your own pace.
While it is a tad pricey for the short
length, the superb atmosphere and
story at play here make it hard not to
recommend. Children are likely to find
the game boring, but anyone who has
gone through growing up, or has fallen
in love before, will find a thoroughly
engaging title to play.

A Lego game based on Jurassic
World was pretty inevitable, given
the unending stream of Lego movie
adaptations in recent years. And,
to be honest, the format will seem
very familiar to anyone that has
played any of those other games,
consisting mainly of running around
and solving puzzles and switching
from one character to another as
you explore the various areas within
Jurassic Park.
The game recreates scenes from
all four dino-movies, going right back
to the original Jurassic Park. Many
people will remember the ‘raptor raid’
scene from Jurassic Park, and that
scene works well here as your little
Lego characters sneak around and
