Help with Essay Structure (1 Viewer)

This may be an abnormal choice for a related text but I've chosen a video game and I'm having a lot of trouble structuring it for an essay with 3 other poems (which are prescribed texts). I'm not sure if i should assume the writer knows the text like others text types or if i should explain it.

Are you doing ''scenes'' that form part of the game's storyline or actual gameplay?

I'm not sure how reliable it is as a text type though - you should discuss it with a teacher/marker in your school.

NOTE BOLDED: Do not story-tell - you are marked on ANALYSIS.

3 prescribed poems might be a bit too much - I'd recommend doing 2.

Structure becomes more simple:

BODY 1 - Poem 1
BODY 2 - Related and link to Poem 1
BODY 3 - Poem 2
BODY 4 - More on Related and link to Poem 2

Instead of scenes and gameplay i've chosen to talk more about the characters themselves.
My teacher previously stated that we are able to do it as long as it's not rambling on about things like gameplay.
For explaining, should I explain key ideas that are somewhat part of the story itself but relates to the question. For example the question requires that we talk about identity and in the game one major aspect of the game itself has to do with identity (gameplay)
Thank you for the advice on doing 2 poems instead of 3 and giving helping with structure.
