very good and i can definetly recommend it. but some of the examples are a bit old and most of the explanations are very far fetched to fit just his perspective.

also some of the views on gender and their preferences are highly outdated.

About so much more than just games, looked at through the perspective of games.

Overall I found this book quite informative and useful. I think the author tried to cover a bit too much ground, and I found his breadth of experience made some of the examples far fetched, contrived, or misinformed. The concept of the book is great, and I like that I can go back and look at the Lenses and recall the larger portions of the book easily. They are good in and of themselves when evaluating design decisions.
