Marx’s death because it felt cliché and unnessecary…Sadie and Sam shouldn’t be together…but I thought the commentary on video game character death was really intriguing.Graphic: Death, Gun violence, and Medical trauma

Minor: Abortion and Vomit
mal_reads_books's review against another edition
The narration, while easy to read, also had some issues. Too much tell, not much show. It felt slow and focused too much on the game designing process, in my opinion. The social commentary included in this story felt forced to me. That and the author’s constant use of archaic vocabulary felt pretentious. I felt this book was lacking in depth for what the author was trying to accomplish.
