I spend a lot of time playing games as a way to study Japanese. So I wrote a blog post summing up everything I've learned!

From picking the right game, to finding scripts, to study strategies, this is how I get the most learning out of the time I spend playing.

If you have any thoughts/question/comments please let me know!

important note, dont learn too much spoken Japanese from games as much like learning from anime the way the characters speak is a little different from how people actually speak in real life so you may actually sound a bit odd (imagine a foreigner speaking to you in English but with Marvin The Martians voice) im not saying dont use it just dont make it all you do or youll both sound strange and be unprepared for the machine gun pace of day to day conversation

Yeah, definitely a good point.
