Welcome to my first game review! Please read the introductory post.
I wanted to start off with a positive review of a game from a feminist perspective: Dragon Age Inquisition. As those of you who know me from Reddit already know, this is my favorite game, but I will try to keep things objective.
WARNING - SPOILERS FOR ENTIRE SERIES
Dragon Age: Inquisition is not only a great example of a game from a feminist perspective, it also shows us that games can deal with important, difficult social themes on a level that no other media can achieve. DA:I also shows us that games are on the forefront of social progress, dealing with subjects like trans issues that mainstream movies and books still shy away from. Although it’s not a perfect game, it is a great example of a what a game can do for feminism. More importantly, DA:I is an example of role playing that creates an environment for heightened empathy and openness to new ideas.
