Logan’s Reviews > Of Games and God: A Christian Exploration Of Video Games > Status Update

Solid chapter dismantling the tired trope that gamers are social outcasts who have no friends. Nice to see my friends at Everyday Gamers being represented.

Incredibly disappointing chapter on women in video games. Schut completely disregards the lack of clothing many female characters have in games (often for exploitative reasoning) and instead spends time pointing out that women play video games and taking a jab at complementarianism, a topic he shows to have a skewed, and surface level, view of.

"...we need to critically engage what we play...obviously, we're fallible players and we're going to miss things. And sometimes, it's okay to just play and have fun and not worry about deep things...I think God calls us to think about our entertainment and to use those thoughts to gain a better understanding of our world and our relationship with God."

Strong, sound, and fantastic opening. Very excited to dig into this more.
