Playing to Learn: Game Review

What did you learn from your choice of games and genres to review.?

What I learned from my choice of games and genres is that they can both be fun and educational for everyone.

Name any game features that stood out to you, either because they were interesting or because they could be improved.

A game that could be improved is Phylo because it does not give enough details on what to do and because it is confusing. I mean I dont understand the game and what to do.

Write down any questions you have about the game or genre you chose. Might answer them yourself later.!

Do Puzzles and Mazes have to be like a setting were you have to get out of something or can it involve critical thinking too.? And, do racing games have to involve racing or can it be something that has a time limit.?
