Abstract

As artificial intelligence (AI) agents become increasingly embedded in digital games and entertainment systems, anthropomorphism (the attribution of human-like traits to artificial agents) has emerged as a key factor shaping player engagement and experience. Despite growing empirical interest, existing findings remain fragmented across domains and lack a coherent synthesis focused on gaming-specific interaction dynamics. This study presents a critical literature review that systematically examines prior empirical and conceptual research on anthropomorphic AI agents in gaming and entertainment contexts. Drawing on Computers Are Social Actors (CASA), Cognitive Load Theory (CLT), and self–AI connection frameworks, the review classifies and compares six core anthropomorphic traits (emotions, social cues, individuality, autonomy, user connection, and appearance) and analyzes how each trait contributes to player engagement, attachment, immersion, and cognitive load. The analysis identifies recurring patterns, trade-offs, and design tensions, showing that while anthropomorphic features can enhance realism, trust, and emotional involvement, excessive or poorly aligned traits may increase extraneous cognitive load or foster over-attachment. By consolidating dispersed findings and highlighting underexplored areas, this study provides a theory-informed synthesis that advances conceptual understanding of anthropomorphism in games and offers actionable design implications for developers, as well as clear directions for future empirical research.

This title is mandatory in the article. Authors are required to include a statement of responsibility in the manuscript that specifies each author's contribution. The level of detail varies; some disciplines produce manuscripts that comprise discrete efforts readily articulated in detail, whereas other fields operate as group efforts at all stages.

Conflict of Interest
This title is mandatory in the article. A conflict of interest exists when judgment regarding the research is influenced by factors such as financial gain or personal relationships. All authors must disclose any financial, personal or other associations that may affect or be perceived to influence their work.

Data Availability
This title is mandatory in the article. A sample text can be as follows. "The datasets generated and analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.". If there is any specific information about the data, it should be shared here.

References
It is the Authors responsibility to ensure that the information in each reference is complete and accurate. Only published and “in press” references should appear in the reference list.

Tables
Tables should be self-contained and the data should not be duplicated in figures. Tables should be numbered consecutively. Each table should be presented on a separate page with a comprehensive but concise legend above the table. Tables should be double-spaced and vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Column headings should be brief, with units of measurement in parentheses. All abbreviations should be defined in footnotes. Use superscript letters (not numbers) for footnotes and keep footnotes to a minimum. *, **, *** should be reserved for P values.

Figures
Only necessary illustrations should be included. All illustrations (line drawings and photographs) are classified as figures. Figures should be cited in consecutive order in the text. Figures should be sized to fit within the column or the full text width. Line figures should be supplied as sharp, black and white or colour diagrams, drawn with a computer graphics package. Photographs should be sharp and magnifications should be indicated on photographs using a scale bar. Graphics should be supplied as high-resolution (at least 300 d.p.i.) electronic files. Digital images supplied as low-resolution cannot be used and will not be accepted. The legend should incorporate definitions of any symbols used and all abbreviations and units of measurement should be explained so that the figure can be understood without reference to the text.

Abbreviations and Units
SI units as outlined in the latest edition of Units, symbols and Abbreviations: A Guide for Medical and Scientific Editors and Authors (Royal Society of Medicine Press, London), should be used wherever possible. Statistics and measurements should always be given in figures; except where the number begins the sentence. When the number does not refer to a unit measurement, it is spelt out, except where the number is greater than nine. Use only standard abbreviations. The word Figure should be shortened to Fig. unless starting a sentence.
