Going Cardboard serves as a niche cultural study of the analog gaming resurgence rather than a vehicle for storytelling that reflects multiple aspects of identity. It succeeds in exploring a specific social phenomenon and provides a mild critique of our contemporary technological reliance. However, the documentary prioritizes the preservation of a specific hobbyist culture over the active deconstruction of social hierarchies. Because it focuses on a specialized subculture, it lacks the systemic character development needed for a higher diversity score.
