I particularly enjoyed learning about the behind-the-scenes stories and the creative processes that went into creating some of my favorite games. The book is well-researched and filled with interesting anecdotes. While some chapters might be more engaging than others, overall, it's a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of video games.
