After Console Wars: 10 Other Great Video Game Documentaries To Stream

Thank You For Playing – Tubi

One of the best examples of a great video game documentary is Thank You for Playing, a 2015 film following video game designer Ryan and Amy green as they create That Dragon, Cancer, a game based on the couple’s experience raising a son diagnosed with terminal cancer. The documentary, much like the game on which it is based, will break your heart. I’m talking Dear Zachary levels of heartbreak, especially for anyone with a child.

The thing about Thank You for Playing is that it goes beyond the trappings of a video game documentary and instead shows two parents and video game designers at their lowest moments and still trying to create something out of it, something that will help them remember their son. This existential, powerful, and downright heartbreaking tale of love and loss is unlike anything to come before or since.
