Newsgames are a genre of video games that apply journalistic principles to their creation. They are a branch of “serious games,” or games that are built with purposes other than pure entertainment.
Newsgames can provide context to complex situations or systems that are difficult to explain without experiencing firsthand. They are a young genre of digital journalism that have great journalistic potential when using the correct choice of mechanics and dynamics that allows.
Newsgames can be used to expand on stories so the audience can learn more about the information in an immersive way. They can also serve as a means of participating in public discourse, utilizing the unique affordances of the medium to engage.
Although newsgames are far from being considered an established news format, games that have been developed so far show great potential in doing so. Games allow us to address systems instead of stories, and, in some ways, they can offer more depth.
