A very well put together and intriguing documentary, no matter if you do not enjoy the subject matter regardless, for a director's first debut the movie was very well done, and looked like he had been making films for decades, and if you didn't appreciate the amount of effort that indie game developers put into there work, you should after watching it. Highly Recommended.One of my favourite documentaries, maybe it's because i have a soft spot for indie games, especially The Binding Of Isaac, one of my favourite games ever made. The documentary centers around the creators of the games 'Super Meatboy' and Fez, the documentary also makes you hate Microsoft even more than you did before. It also gives you an interesting, back story to the creators, Ed Mcmillen and Phil Fish.

Telling the story of how to make a game by yourself by successful creators, and the life and problems that incur working without the financial support and security that a big company offers but also without the creative oppression so common in the mass media industry. Is especially commendable for non-gamer people and even game-haters that say things like "videogames are entertainment, not art nor beautiful": here you can see with your very eyes the same struggle that a painter, or a filmmaker has when its out of budget, out of time, etc... Very well made and well presented, almost empathic documentary. 7 of 10

**Includes some minor spoilers. will not spoil your experience**I watched the documentary last night and was just simply blown away about the people, their life-philosophy and the motivation to push forward and create something new. In one scene one of the protagonists told that "he would never want to work for EA or Epic cause he would lose his freedom of creativity in it". This in essence is what makes Artists great - they create something new and do it so well that it transcends the normal standard of standardized "materialistic" work processes - by far. It was interesting to see how the video game gurus in this documentary were actually even sad for people not understanding their work. In essence - they were disappointed for people doing shallow reviews after testing their games. Deep understanding of others creative work often springs into criticism - but thats only positive since it means that the other one has understood the creation and is able to add something new into it - thus being part of the logics of progress. 9.5/10 for the best documentary/movie I have seen this year.

The game developing process. What goes into it? What are the stresses that one may endure? This documentary takes a fairly in depth look at the lives of 3 particular games being developed, and the personal lives of those creating it(Fez,Super Meat Boy and Braid). Focusing more on the positive and negative aspects of how the process effects the people involved is what draws you in. There is no acting, action, etc. just the real life drama that goes into deadlines, marketing, and all things aside from what code to put on what page. The presentation may not be for all viewers but it definitely is interesting to see where a person can snap, or reap the rewards of years of hard work even when others wrote them off as crazy. I was personally drawn into the inner conflicts that were shown to real feel the real life emotions. Must see for gamers, that is for sure, but also for a casual viewer, I believe that it is something interesting to see just what goes on day by day (they seem to keep hours like me). 6.4/10
