I'll take generic fantasy town over formless corridors.

DCC asks "Instead of writing a compelling world, You just read a GameFAQ's walkthrough". And not one that makes sense. Like so much minor minutia gets page time. We don't need to know every time they go to the bathroom or kill a mob. The game world is just tropes mashed together cause that's what games are. But since there's no base line for anything I simply don't care.

This book is weird insincere with its concept. More eager to pass off menu's and tutorials as actual text instead of developing a world or reason to care beyond surviving is good.

On one had the prose is insanely dull, and the literal tutorials and achievements and loot boxes feel so damn lazy. On the other hand, Princess Donut.

These Achievements and Enemy descriptions rub me the wrong way.

Loved the bit about how Henson designed the Muppets for TV. Also bit funny how the biographer postulates a potential origin of the nonsense term Muppet.

Probably the first biography I've chosen to read. So far Jones gives Henson's early childhood a much needed importance and properly lays out how things then bloom into the Henson we know. Still would be lying if I said I wasn't aching to get to the Muppet stuff.
