Some Video Games Are S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

There are literally millions of video games, so it takes something truly remarkable to stand out. Many games offer mere escape from our troubles, but some invite us to get invested in a richly detailed world where we discover fascinating characters and their intricate interrelationships, while resolving spectacular moral dilemmas that stick with us long after we've stopped playing. Such games are special, and playing one of them can be a meaningful and highly memorable experience, reminding us about the power of our moral decision-making, and in doing so, helping us experience the joy of doing philosophy. Fallout 4 is special.
