Specs Ops: The Line.

Flew under my radar at the time of release, I was more focused on other, bigger games. Finally got around to it years later. Damn good game, one of the best examples I can think of of video game violence serving a narrative purpose, plus refreshing in its unpredictability in that it didn't stick to formula and often outright subverted it.

I've heard so much about this game. Assumed it was one of those generics military games. I'm gonna buy it today!

...and probably play it next year. 😥

Yeah I think a lot of people might've skipped it cos of that; it even starts out like a very generic military shooter. 

As it goes though it becomes deeper, darker, and more subversive, until it becomes something akin to something like Apocalypse Now, an almost surrealist journey where normal morals and logic are blurred and warped.
