Game Comparison Essay Reflection
For this essay, I followed the instructions of the assignment and wrote out a 3-part essay with the addition of an introduction as a hook. Instead of working from a thesis I have already built up, this time I concluded my thesis based on what I have written in the two parts prior to the ending paragraph. Although I have never done this before, I was quite surprised at how easily I came to the conclusion and built my thesis.
While working on the essay, I really got a chance to take a closer look the games I compared/contrasted with a second play through. I was able to find a lot more details in each of them relating to the theme of depression/trauma as I went in with a purpose this time. When I played through “Gris” and “Gone Home” for the first time, was not able to put myself into the situation and feel some of the emotions that I felt while playing through this time.
