For this Critical Thought, I talked about the problems of dissonance in video games and game design. I coined the term: Ludomechanical Dissonance to discuss when mechanics clash with each other and how this can lead to bad design. For more on my thoughts, you can read this post over on Game-Wisdom *will be updated*
