Review Detail

A Game of Noctis is perfect for fans who like competition, masterful gameplay, and a sense of achieving something better than what you have been dealt. It is an island where you are focused on achieving a higher game standing every day so you can live a better life and avoid the life of a pawn (a nonplayer). I found the games creative, usually based on a game we all know but with twists. It is a high-stakes game played out in an arena, so we get a bit of a downplayed hunger game, but we still have a mastermind game maker pulling all the strings. It is an exciting "trials" read that will please those who are not only gamers because it has excellent lessons of honor, friendship, respect, team play, family values, wanting to protect others, a sense of community, honesty, trust, defeating corruption, giving people choices, freedom and returning happiness to something that history turned into a death sentence: joy for playing with another without stakes.
