Don't Look Back

  Don't Look Back is a game where the story behind it is most of what makes the game great but you really have to think about it in order to fully grasp what's going on. This game can be sad. It takes a dark look at what many people go through when they lose a loved one. This game is also very beautiful, and may touch your heart when you play it.
  This game is about a man. This man seems to have just lost someone he loved very much. The game starts with the man standing over a grave. Then he's off. His target is the depths of the underworld. With a gun he finds along the way, he battles through the pits of hell in order to find the one he loves. Things take a turns for the strange when the man encounters the meaning of the title "Don't Look Back". It all end with a scene that will make you both sad and angry.
  My favorite part of this game is the respawning. This game could have been alot harder and more frustraighting if you went back very far after dieing, but thankfully you only go back to the beginning of the current screen you were on. I also really liked the message. Like many of the really good indies of today, it seemed more like an art piece than a video game.
