About this listen

The Secret Science of Games is an accessible and entertaining guide to the hidden role of science in making games more fun. User experience (UX) research is a vital part of the story of how video games have become a cultural juggernaut, but game developers generally don’t speak publicly about how data shapes game design and game development.

This book is a friendly and practical tour of games research by someone who’s done the work, including true behind-the-scenes stories about how your favorite games really got made.

It’s a nice intro for people who want to start a career in the field.
Some nice stories from author’s past experiences.
But I wish there was more in depth knowledge of User Research. There’s very little how-to in this book

Nice introduction to User Research
