When you think of “intense” games, you might recall some shooter’s bullet-laden climactic scene, or a particularly impressive combo in a fighting game. But intensity doesn’t just exist in moments of over-the-top violence or during awe-inspiring displays of skill. It can come from the way a game affects your mood and your mind as you play it. In that sense, Lone Survivor is one of the most truly intense games in recent memory: it’s a game that, from the opening menu, grabs a hold of your senses and keeps them locked onto your monitor until the adventure is over.
