Positivity in Perspective: Top Conversations in Gaming & Entertainment from Q1 2021
Video games and entertainment continue to be an escape for audiences – both old and new. Whether diving into a fresh show, enjoying island life with friends, slinging Poké Balls, or finding the imposter among us, gaming and entertainment offers something for everyone.
Let’s celebrate the conclusion of another year by reflecting on the topics that brought us the most joy across gaming and entertainment in 2021, curated using Spiketrap’s exclusive and AI-powered sentiment metrics.
To get started, let’s look at the top convos from January, February, and March.
January
For the second year, Animal Crossing brings us our top conversation of January, with a giveaway that saw an overwhelmingly positive 98/100. Goes without saying that Animal Crossers are a happy bunch, but the proof is in the sentiment!
Animal Crossing is joined by conversations around Zendaya and John David Washington’s Malcolm & Marie on Netflix, the return of Genshin Impact’s beloved and highly anticipated Lantern Rite Festival, two Zelda topics (trick shot and wild NPCs!) and more.

The 2021 Grammy Awards also sparked high engagement conversations for various subjects (from Taylor Swift applauding Beyonce to BTS’ first performance at the show), but the performance of Bruno Mars’ Leave the Door Open came in highest at a 94/100 sentiment.
