An architect reviews video game buildings (none would pass inspection)

Every fantasy castle has a 400-metre staircase with no railing, built over a bottomless pit, next to a lava river. Who approved this? Where are the fire exits?

Meanwhile Dark Souls levels, which loop back on themselves with shortcuts, are genuinely brilliant spatial design. I'd hire whoever did Lordran. I just wouldn't let them near a building code.

Which game would you trust to build your house?
