Representation is key, they say.
One of the most beautiful and soul-stirring thing about video games is that not only can they offer enriching experiences that make us not want to put down our controllers, tell rich, deep stories but they can also create compelling, often relatable characters. Characters that really strike a chord with us.
This can be particularly true for players who, like myself, are on the autism spectrum.
