Critical Play

Critical Play is an approach to gaming that encourages deeper thinking about the themes, messages, and social issues presented in games. It challenges players to reflect on their experiences and the implications of gameplay, rather than just focusing on entertainment. By engaging with games critically, players can explore topics like power dynamics, identity, and culture, fostering discussions that can lead to greater awareness and understanding of societal issues. Ultimately, Critical Play seeks to use the medium of games as a tool for learning and dialogue.
