Review of 'Blood, Sweat, and Pixels : The Triumphant, Turbulent Stories Behind How Video Games are Made' on 'Goodreads'

4 estrellas

Entertaining recollection of the production experience of ten games developed in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

Some people have a negative concept of the book because they think it lacks criticism about death marches, crunch and how the last stages of a game take precedence over every other life aspects of the team. I think the book has an inherent, and at times explicit, criticism of the game industry, specially of the North American one, but at the same time celebrates the outcome of publishing great games and the passion of the developers.
