Games play a vital role in this generation. Not only kids but also adults also enjoy playing video games and games on their digital devices, spending their free time in front of the screen shooting and kicking their (in-game) opponents. This is why gaming culture has taken such a turn in the last two decades. With such an increase in demand, the need for exciting games with a great plot and characters has also increased. Games nowadays are not just silly with fun graphics but have everything to immerse the player in a story with high end graphics.
All the hit games available have something that attracts the players the most. These characteristics are what make them return from their jobs and sit in front of consoles and computers for a long time. These features are what developers work on the most and are discussed below:
Catchy story and characters
The first thing every player tries to connect with is the story and its characters. Each game comes with a backstory that is evident throughout the game, tying the characters and locations together. If the player isn’t connected to the story and doesn’t feel it’s compelling enough, he tends to stop playing. But once the players are interested in the story, they feel like the missions and challenges are their own and give their best to reach the end and complete the story. The main characters are also the ones that need to be well-developed as the characters are portrayed by the players. So a compelling game story and characters should always take center stage around how the game is built to keep it real and connected.
how to play
The next feature is the gameplay of the respective games. Each game has its own type of gameplay and this is what will keep the players hooked. Controls and gameplay should be fun and interesting and not uncomfortable; otherwise it will be difficult to play the game and achieve the goals. Developers tend to work on gameplay mainly because that is what players are looking for the most. Challenge types, campaigns, multiplayer modes, controls, etc. they are included in the game and they decide if the game will be a success or a failure.
Art and Graphics
Have you ever played a game that has lousy graphics and art form? It is quite common that players tend to lose interest in a game if the art does not capture their attention. Graphics are what players see visually and are therefore the first thing they will visually connect with about the game. The characters, the locations, the environment, the props, etc. they are the ones that are represented in the game through art. Nowadays, gamers like realistic and hyper-realistic games that have impressive visuals, which makes the player feel that they themselves are in that situation trying to achieve a certain goal.
