    As a middle aged guy with a young daughter at the time, I cried at the opening and had to take a break before actually playing the game.

      This is the correct answer and what I was going to say. First played as an engaged young man. While an amazing story, didn’t hit until I had my daughter and replayed 10 years later. The impact of his decisions and my struggle with how I would’ve handled it, wrecked me. Neil is a genius and I think an incredible story teller.

      I played through it originally years ago and remember it being sad but it kind of fell out of my head. I played it again few years ago after acquiring a bonus kid and having a baby, both the intro and the ending were gut punches.
