In the last decade, and especially in the last five years, there has been an increase in the implementation of video games as an educational resource for the transmission of learning in non-university education. This interest has provided the scientific community with an enriching field of work for its analysis to make known the advantages that video games can provide to students and teachers in the teaching-learning process. The study aims to analyze the effect that the use of video games as an educational resource for learning development on students. To this end, a bibliographical review has been carried out of research carried out between 2015-2020 in Spain and Portugal, published in journals indexed in the WoS and Scopus databases, classified in Q1 and Q2, and with open access. Using the program Atlas.ti.9, the qualitative analysis has focused on two main blocks: a) the contents of the research (didactic video games, didactic approach, and methodology) and b) the research instruments used. The main finding is that there are multiple factors in which video games favor the development of student learning and, therefore, their implementation as an educational resource to be considered in formal education is positively valued.
