The building of games is discussed in a user-friendly way that doesn’t make it boring at all, quite the contrary it actually made me admire the different components of game building even more.
But in reality, this is not a book about videogames, but about our characters, their flaws, their virtues and the way that they interact and react to each other. A complex but easily web of actions, assumptions and the consequences of all that. Definitely recommending it and definitely going to reread it at some point in the future.
Moderate: Suicide, Death, and Death of parent
