How Games Move Us: Emotion by Design

outlines the concepts of how games of all types are able to evoke emotion and connection in and between humans

3,5*
Good overview, although quite shallow. This is not really a study of game design around emotions, but a set of different aspects of games which can create some emotions. The UI, the networking elements, etc. As it is a very quick read, the book serves well as an introduction to the topic and also helps to get a new angle on some aspects of what makes us ‘feel' in games.
