15 Things Games Can Do But Movies Cannot

Explore, Expand and Indulge in the World

Aside from a movie’s limited running time, there’s only so much it can tell you within that space. The film version of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring won’t shove the Battle of Helm’s Deep into its narrative, for example, but it also won’t let you learn more about it. However, even in a game with an obtuse narrative like Bloodborne or Dark Souls, it’s possible to learn more about the world, the characters within it, the hidden significance of events taking place, secrets and whatnot.
