The Game Overanalyser
Hi , I'm the Game Overanalyser, and this channel will be exploring the stories, themes, design and art of gaming. By my name, I suppose you can tell I'm curious about getting underneath the surface of why we love playing the games we do. Pretention aside, gaming is an artform, and we need to treat it as such to convince others of what we all know. That games are awesome!
On this channel, we will be going into the specifics of game design, critically analyzing individual games and their themes, mechanics and meanings, and trying to figure out what works and doesn't work. There will also be smaller episodes dedicated to specific philosophical and psychological concepts and how they relate to and are expressed in games.
