    Girl Games with Sarah Maria Griffin

    Girl Games with Sarah Maria Griffin

    Gaming used to be for everybody, like Lego. But somewhere around the early noughties gaming became extremely gendered, with first person war shooters dominating mainstream gaming and “girl” games arrived. We talk The Sims, Harvest Moon, Pokemon, Stardew Valley, tv and movie franchise games, horse riding games, a little bit of Zelda, and a little bit of Skyrim. We also discuss Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, and finish with recommendations for new gamers. Recs include:
    Wandersong
    Chicory
    A Short Hike
    Cult of the Lamb
    Boyfriend Dungeon
    Going Under 
    Wychwood
    What Remains of Edith Finch
