★★★★☆

Game Design and Development: Code, Psychology and Analytics (Paperback) offers a compelling take on games, though not without flaws. While the treatment of programming is excellent, I found the sections on Programming less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about game analytics that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing analytics more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for programming will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on games, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved Game Design and Development: Code, Psychology and Analytics (Paperback)! It completely changed my perspective on games. At first I wasn't sure about JavaScript, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Books is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in psychology. What I appreciated most was how the book made Computers & Technology feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
