Telltale's The Walking Dead games. Made me cry more than when my dog died.
A thousand times, this!
Playing the walking dead games made me finally realize what the zombie genre is really all about. Zombie apocalypses are really a metaphor for the experience of life, In the end death takes everyone, in a zombie apocalypse it's just accelerated. But death is a reality we all face, there's no escaping it, there's no running from it, there's no outsmarting it; eventually you slip up or maybe you're careful and responsible the whole way through, it actually doesn't matter, you'll still die in the end. What does matter are the choices you make along the way, the people's lives that you touch, the world you can either leave better than you found it, or worse.
