That Dragon, Cancer is the most powerful, gut-wrenching game I’ve seen | Fresno Bee
Fresno Bee video game columnist Rory Appleton writes:
"Perhaps the true strength of “That Dragon, Cancer” lies in its tackling of how we view the malady. The game serves as an analysis of the world’s constant war analogies concerning cancer: Patients win or lose their “battles” with the disease.
That language is used daily, and I’ve never been a fan. I’ve written obituaries. We say things like Susan fought hard, but in the end, she lost her battle with cancer. To me, that implies the person wasn’t good enough – made some mistake along the way.
That is just so far from the truth. As the game, personal experience and basic perception in the modern world illustrates, cancer takes many, many people who were more than good enough."
