Ecogames in the Spotlight

We’re excited to share the news that the Ecogames book, featuring research from many members of the STRATEGIES consortium, just got a glowing review in Eludamos: Journal for Computer Game Culture.

At the heart of the Ecogames book is research that forms the foundation of STRATEGIES' second research pillar: promoting improved game design for sustainability. By providing actionable insights, the book helps game industries create experiences that align with societal transformation goals, making sustainability not just a message but an integral part of gameplay.

The review highlights the book’s rich contribution to knowledge. One standout comment emphasises its broad impact:

"Ecogames effectively demonstrates how digital games can engage players with complex issues like climate change, fostering understanding and action."

Another note praises its forward-thinking vision:

“This collection is a key resource for anyone interested in the potential of games to influence societal change.”

The insights in this book are also key to STRATEGIES' mission — particularly our work on designing games that empower players to take action on sustainability. It’s about using games as a force for good, and the Ecogames book lays down the blueprint.
