松永 伸司 Format: Tankobon Hardcover Art Theory & Aesthetics Editorial Review
The reception of the Video Game Aesthetics Tankobon Hardcover seems to vary among readers. One reader states that it is a serious book, recommended for game history class teachers, touching on state-of-the-art aesthetic theories and digital game implementation from the 70s. They praise the book for its readable game studies and retro approach and emphasize its connection to art theory and philosophical discussions. However, another reader found the book boring initially but admits to making discoveries and enjoying the author's detailed and playful approach to the game world. They believe that the book is a groundbreaking Consideration of video games from the perspective of art philosophy, despite the misleading association of aesthetics with graphics. On the other hand, a reader criticizes a small part of the book, particularly a chapter on player misconduct, expressing dissatisfaction with the presented theory and offering their suggestions for improvement. In conclusion, the book offers a detailed and philosophical perspective on video games from an art and aesthetic standpoint, making it a valuable resource for some readers, but also disappoints others due to differing expectations and the perceived quality of specific chapters.
