Can games be seen as educational?

PS4 Attitude: "With the explosion of mobile gaming and the huge expansion of the casual market, our favourite pastime has never been more accepted than it is today. However, there still remains a perception that video games are purely for entertainment, and therefore lack the ability to teach you anything. To counter this rather limited view, I thought I would show how games in fact have the power to inspire, and encourage players to learn more about the world we live in."

Of course. There have been educational games around for a long time on multiple platforms. People who say games lack the ability to teach anything are as out of touch as those who say games are just for kids.

I used to play educational type games in elementary school. Gizmo's and Gagets, O-Trail, all kinds like that. I learned many things and it was fun! Kids need learning to be fun!

Civilization games taught me more about our historical leaders than two courses of World History in college.

I was impressed with the trailer and hoped to find out more and then it fell off the map with no new information. Not sure if it's vaporware or not but I stopped thinking about it and moved on. Maybe it was moved to a new and improved engine, moved to PS5 development and suffers the long Dev times that many games had/have suffered from lately. Who knows. But we'll see.

As for gaming bolt, that video was trash. A long winded video that says nothing for 7 minutes going back and forth on it may or may not still exist and just kept going and going and going trying to produce an informative video with barely any information. Like an article with a word quota that's just paragraphs of nothing. Showing me that they haven't gotten any better at game journalism. If we can even call it that.

Gaming bolt is a low effort scam that only exists to collect ad revenue. They don't play the games they review either and everybody knows
