Videogames explores the design and culture of videogames since the mid-2000s, investigating the ground-breaking contemporary design work, creative and rebellious player communities and the political conversations that contribute to the defining genre of our time.
A star-studded cast of contributors consider the wide spectrum of gaming life, from blockbusters The Last of Us and Overwatch through to cultural phenomena such as Minecraft, and alongside less mainstream productions like Consume Me.
