Games play a vital role in this generation. Not only children 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 huge turn in the last two decades. With such a huge increase in demand, the need for exciting games with a great plot and characters has also increased. Games nowadays are not just silly with funny graphics but they have everything to immerse the player in a story with high-end graphics.
All the successful games available have something that appeals to 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 the ones developers are working 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 is not connected to the story and does not feel that it is engaging enough, he tends to stop playing. But once players are interested in the story, they feel the quests and challenges are their own and do their best to reach the end and complete the story. The main characters are also the ones that need to be well developed, since the players represent the characters. 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 players hooked. Controls and gameplay should be fun and interesting, not awkward; otherwise it will be hard to play the game and reach the goals. Developers tend to work on gameplay primarily because that’s what players are looking for the most. Types of challenges, campaigns, multiplayer modes, controls, etc. are included in the game and these decide whether the game will be a success or failure.
Art and Graphics
Have you ever played a game that has lousy graphics and art form? It’s quite common for gamers to tend to lose interest in a game if the art doesn’t grab their attention. Graphics are what players see visually and 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 stunning visuals, which makes the player feel that they themselves are in that situation trying to reach a certain goal.
