<b>Fascinating, revealing and thoughtful</b> ... Ross constructs loving, pastel-coloured visual narrative around titles such as Metroid, Doom and Papers Please, exploring not just the timeline of games but also the culture that makes and consumes them
- Keith Stuart, Guardian
A love letter to gaming in all its forms - from board games, to role-play, to virtual reality and video games. <b>For fans of gaming, this is the perfect read. For those new to gaming, it is the perfect introduction</b>

<b>A very fast paced and entertaining read</b>
Metro
<i>Gamish</i> is <b>warm, it has a sense of fun and humour and importantly it has a lot of optimism</b> for the media and for the way it can empower all sorts of people (the book takes pains to include a lot of diversity in the characters we see, which again I appreciated greatly), and right now that feels like a wonderful, uplifting notion to leave the readers on
- Joe Gordon, Down the Tubes
<b>I'm adding non-fiction comic book <i>Gamish</i> to my Christmas list</b>. It's a graphical history of gaming, with an emphasis less on the technological beats of the last 40 years, and more on the games themselves and the culture surrounding them
