Game-based learning is a very powerful and engaging trend in terms of teaching. It has many different advantages such us varied ways of engaging students, learning while entertaining, raising motivation towards subject-matter content as well as providing an opportunity to understand things in different formats. Those are reasons why these types of teaching trends deserve a space into our classrooms. However, making of it the "future of education" would probably end up being the "torture of education" as it would make from diversity and riches of educational practices a total monotony by only having one way of doing things. This is a justification for the need of awareness about understanding the thin line between use and abuse.
