The Cultural Impact of Video Games: A Systematic Review of ... - MDPI

Patterns and agents of cultural representation, transmission and communication were identified, allowing researchers to evaluate the impact of video games on culture and to approach this object of study from an academic perspective, helping to open up other lines of research related to the influence of video games on the assimilation of culture, the learning of relevant issues related to it or the transmission of specific cultural elements. The most in-depth research in the area of study is another systematic literature review published in 2020, which delved into the impact of video games on their players, concluding that video games have the potential to help acquire cultural knowledge and develop socio-cultural literacy [29]. Fields relating to the methodological area were also included: subject, type and methodology of the study; next, we studied the conceptualization of the video–ludic aspect: the type of game, form of introduction and technology or video game used; and finally, we analysed the thematic or cultural perspective investigated, the cultural approach made and the results stated by each work of research.
