Video game that still gets you

Hot on the heels of (the better) Dunkirk comes 1917.
There are two distinct chapters to this film: the first half all mud and macabre; the second despair and hallucinatory. In the first half, we have the brown landscapes of trenches and into No Man's Land. The second an orange bombed-out French town.
While the two-take structure works well for ramping up the claustrophobia, it comes close to veering into Indiana Jones territory. What saves things, is that you instantly relate to our two heroes, which brings the pay-off at the finale.
