The God Game
by Danny Tobey
REVIEW: 3 stars
The God Game is a very dark thriller that focuses on an augmented reality game and how the virtual choices we make can affect reality. "Win and all your dreams come true. Lose, you die!" Truthfully, this game has a lot of issues. There aren't many people who would truly play this game. It isn't fun , and it has real life consequences. People don't play games to change their real lives they play to escape, and that I think is one of the fundamental flaws for me. The characters weren't fully rounded and the only one I connected with was Alex. The plot was ok I wanted to see how it would end, and the imagery was super cool it reminded me of DND, but the kind of game they played really killed the story for me. It wasn't for me, but I do think it will have an audience. If you really enjoy auguemented reality, life and death choices, and ready player one pick this up! Thank you St. Martin's Press for sending this to me in exchange for an honest review. This book is available January 7th.
