Have you ever spent hours in anticipation of your next escape, only to find that you can't quite see yourself in that narrative?

If you're a gamer, you might find that to be common, depending on the category of game you're primarily interested in. This week, we're discussion the issue of representation in big box video games. Video games have to walk a fine line between representing an escape, while allowing the player to immerse themselves into the world.

The details of immersion can often make or break how invested the player is. We discuss examples of how immersion deepens or breaks from the experience, from Witcher - Blood Origin to Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Have you played a recent video game that helped you immerse deeply in its lore and universe? Let us know what you played in the comments below or on our social media!
