Ruins are this mixture of horror, regret, nostalgia - and majesty. If you've ever walked through ruins of antiquity - be they Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Chinese or otherwise - you always marvel.
Their ability to become so loaded with story is perhaps why ruins feature so prominently in games, a highly visual and interactive medium.
Take a look at some of your favourite games, and I bet there is at least one scene exploring some kind of ruin - an old, abandoned gas station; a temple to some unknown deity; a dungeon of some lost castle; the diary of someone lost.
Ruins are everywhere in games. They are one of the prominent motifs in gaming.
So… why?
