Player Checklists
What three questions are asked when evaluating a new puzzle game?
Assess the main decision, the game’s feedback and how a session ends. Do you understand what to do, see the result of your actions and know when you can take a break? These questions help you judge personal fit, not assign a universal quality score.
Short answer
Assess the main decision, the game’s feedback and how a session ends. Do you understand what to do, see the result of your actions and know when you can take a break? These questions help you judge personal fit, not assign a universal quality score.
How do you try it in the game?
Adapt the steps below to your board layout. Predict the result before each move, then compare your prediction with what happens after the move.
- Call out the player's key decision.
- Follow the outcome of the move.
- After the break, check if the experience is suitable for you.
Mistake to avoid
Don't assume that the game someone else likes will suit your preferences equally well.
About the game
When reviewing your game experience, check the on-screen goal, move feedback, saved progress and settings separately. These are troubleshooting steps based on what you can observe. They do not establish the exact cause of a fault, guarantee data recovery or assume that every game has the same features.
