I’m thrilled to share that the experienced reviewers at Kirkus Reviews appreciated the Strategy Guide’s unique and accessible take on the video game industry, yielding a “Get It” recommendation for their readers.
“Platz treats the history of gaming with reverence, mentioning deep cuts such as MadMaze alongside indie darlings like Unpacking; this makes the guide feel truly all-encompassing—as expansive as an open-world RPG—in a way that will resonate with industry insiders, newbie developers, and curious players alike. A wide-ranging introduction to how games are made, balancing insider rigor with accessibility.”
