All the Faces of Agency in Video Games by Biljana Mitrović

“…Apart from the fact that video games are still a current and wide area of study, the reason for academic interest and the publishing of books in this area is also methodological – video game studies use multidisciplinary interactions between various areas of theory and games while demonstrating how video games fit and influence the existing theoretical and methodological models in the humanities.It is in this context that we have an interesting example: Bettina Bódi’s Videogames and Agency (Routledge, 2023). …”
