Alfonso Freire Sánchez
The light cast by four decades of video game history has created an intriguing darkness from which emerge characters as complex as they are imperfect, as powerful as they are violent: the antiheroes.
The book "The Antihero's Journey in Video Games," written by Alfonso Freire Sánchez, proposes a fascinating exploration of some of the most iconic and enigmatic characters in the video game industry, thus exploring the lights and shadows of a cast formed by Kratos, Bayonetta, Joel Miller, Ada Wong, Dante Sparda, Geralt of Rivia, Max Payne, Marcus Fenix, Arthur Morgan, Duke Nukem, Wario, or Shadow, among many others.
This book immerses the reader in an unprecedented journey that combines elements of character construction and evolution with a historical tour filled with curiosities and secrets that surround these antiheroes and their video games. This perspective is also combined with a deeper look at the narrative complexity that addresses issues such as redemption, loss, sacrifice, the thirst for revenge, or the mental health problems that some of these characters suffer from. In this way, the motives and emotions that incite and empower these contemporary antiheroes and anti-heroines are explored.
