What is Chris On Videogames?
Chris On Videogames is a collection of reviews that critique the medium of videogames through the Experience of Art. I hope you’ll read the essay I wrote explaining what that means:
But to put it simply, these reviews examine how videogames generate a response in an audience and how that response creates meaning. Instead of asking “is this game good?” these reviews try to ask “what does it mean (or what should it mean) for a game to be good?” Instead of comparing games against an imaginary quality rubric, these reviews examine the creative impact of each game.
New Reviews
This project is a hobby for me, so new reviews are posted sporadically, whenever I have the time to write them. There’s no set release schedule at the moment, but I aim for at least one new review a month.
All reviews are published on Substack and Medium with video versions posted to YouTube. You can also follow me on Backloggd where I post links to each review.
Support
If you enjoy this work, the best way to support it is to subscribe via Substack so I can keep you updated via email.
Subscribing on Medium or YouTube is also a huge help.
If more folks subscribe, I can justify dedicating more time to this work and could even expand this project, offering additional content and potentially moving to a more flexible platform.
