In the early minutes of War of the Worlds (2025),I realized that I’ve seen this before. No, I’m not referencing the 2005 War of the Worlds movie. I’m not referencing a film at all. I’ve seen this premise in The Operator, a point-and-click adventure published on Windows PC in 2024. Both unfold entirely through a computer screen. However, one is a tense, slow-burning conspiracy. The other is War of the Worlds.
The Operator shows War of the Worlds would have been so much better as a video game
