That is not me saying that. That is the latest episode of Extra Credits. A very intelligent and insightful look into the understanding of this art. This week they talk about why all games do not have to be fun.
I agree with it! If all games were fun, then Spec Ops The Line, and The Last of Us (while it was fun) would not really be here in a since. Spec Ops is a game where it shows you that real life war and conflict is NOT fun and is downright haunting. Now, imaging the White Phosphorus scene being depicted as "FUN".

Fun in war games is not having to face what you have done. That's why Spec Ops was ingenious.
