Malls aim to sell goods to consumers, and you can't really do that in a video game. Or, at least, you couldn't until recently. So, why ARE there so many malls in video games? The answer, as you'll see from the video, lies in mall aesthetics and how they can be used to create a sense of familiarity. But there's more to it than that.
In this video, we'll explore some of the best malls in video games and get into why developers have turned to these enclosed environments again and again over the years. So please, make yourself comfortable, and let's hit some virtual malls!
