The Greatest Stories Ever Played: Video Games and the Evolution of Storytelling | Dustin Hansen

1 post | 1 read

In this fun and informative YA Non-fiction title, Dustin Hansen, author of Game On!, a self-confessed video game addict with over 20-years experience in the gaming industry, examines the storytelling skills shown in some of the most beloved and moving games of all time. We all know that video games are fun, but can a video game make you cry? Can it tell you a powerful love story? Can a video game make you think differently about war? About the environment? About the choices you make? Whether it's playing through blockbuster-esque adventures (Uncharted, God of War, The Last of Us), diving deep into hidden bits of story and lore (Red Dead Redemption II, Bioshock, Journey) or building relationships that change the fate of the world itself (Persona 5, Undertale), video games are bringing stories to life in ways that are immediate, interactive and immersive. Focusing on some of the best, most memorable, experiences in gaming, The Greatest Stories Ever Played, examines the relationship between gaming and storytelling in a new way.

The Greatest Stories Ever Played: Video Games and the Evolution of Storytelling | Dustin Hansen

so-so

#NonfictionNovember

I was let down by this book. Aside from reading, playing video games is a favorite hobby of mine. Most of the games mentioned I have played. Perhaps knowing the stories for these games kept me from enjoying it more. I felt like it was just a synopsis of popular games and not really a look at the extensive storytelling I expected.

This book is written for teen readers, though, so it might work better for a younger crowd.
