Sure, We Are Chicago forces you to witness a terrible event, but it does nothing to capitalize on the unique strengths of gaming. You can’t fruitlessly attempt to prevent the atrocity from happening or speak to anyone about the aftermath; you just go from point to point and listen to actors who sound completely detached from everything. If there were options to take Aaron’s life down a different path, the game would be far more interesting.

Good-nature intentions aside, however, We Are Chicago stumbles when it comes to presenting a polished and ultimately memorable gameplay experience, failing to capitalize on the depth of its poignant subject material. As one might have expected in a game that places such an emphasis on its interview-curated dialogue, most of We Are Chicago is spent listening to characters talk and discussing things like college, work, gangs, and the importance of friends and family.

We Are Chicago really wants to tell a story that most games don't want to touch upon, but it completely fails at delivering that story in a satisfying manner.(
