★★★★☆

Quickstart Guide to Game Design offers a compelling take on Game Design, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Project-Based Learning is excellent, I found the sections on Project-Based Learning less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Programming that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Beginner Coding more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Game Development Basics will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Interactive Design, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved Quickstart Guide to Game Design! It completely changed my perspective on Game Design. At first I wasn't sure about Beginner Coding, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Beginner Coding is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Coding for Beginners. What I appreciated most was how the book made Educational Games feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
