Structured Design Editorial Review
The Art of Game Design is a book that is highly recommended for game designers and even designers of websites and apps. It provides excellent insights into principles of design and social responsibilities of designers. Although the book is verbose, it is written in an accessible style, and the language makes the ideas easy to understand. However, the excessive length and over-ambitious scope make it less suitable as a textbook for undergrad students. Nonetheless, the book is a great inspiration to those who are passionate about game design and want to learn more.
