Description: Check out GiantGrantGames: youtube.com/channel/UCdHKiETyuMbV6a86GRK-MWA Support the channel on Patreon!: patreon.com/ArchitectofGames Follow me on twitter!: twitter.com/Thefearalcarrot Sacrifice as a concept has been a part of human culture since the very beginning - and as the concept has evolved and changed, it's taken on a variety of forms: Personal, emotional, financial... as well as a few rather more grizzly varieties. But through our culture's long relationship with sacrifice, they've always been seen as emotional, dramatic and memorable moments that define a story... so why can't the same be said for videogames? Despite getting a lot of mileage out of the aesthetic of sacrifice, very few videogames have managed to create ones as satisfying as the literary and cinematic greats. Videogame sacrifices almost always end up as unsatisfying, arbitrary distractions that feel bad to engage with - but why? The Architect is going to find out, even if it means venturing into spooky woodland cabins, more than one type of dystopic future and the worst, most poorly thought out bowels of the Fallout universe.
