I have to ask them: what’s the difference between a good game and an entertaining game?
From my perspective, games exist to be entertaining so if a game is entertaining then it is a good game. I don’t know what other metric would be used to determine if a game is good.
Mobile games, case in point. They often aren’t designed to be good or even fun, they’re designed to maximize playtime over the long term
That means you start off making it fun and easy to advance, but then you start to back off on the rewards and make them grind and wait more and more. It’s the Facebook technique
