Rezensionen

"Brookwell cuts to the core of what it means to deeply engage with gaming as a whole in the modern moment, showing games as a means of engaging with the world instead of simply a retreat from it. Using this lens, we finally get to see the Gamer Citizens: people building communities and shaping society through games in what can be some amazing ways." - Josh Boykin, Founder, Intelligame
