Strategy Games Are Terrible at Teaching You Anything (Ep.37)

Why are strategy game tutorials so bad and who’s fixing it? In Episode 41 of Critical Moves, we’re joined by Joe from Example of Play to talk about the gap between what strategy games teach and what players actually need to know.

We cover:

• Why tutorials often fail in complex strategy titles.
• How content creators like Joe step in to bridge the gap.
• Joe’s own gaming background and what’s on his radar next.

It’s part interview, part rant, and part public service announcement for any developer who still thinks ‘just read the tooltips’ is enough.
