Good Games Teach You Without Explaining
Some games teach players better than others, but the best ones usually do it without making the player feel like they're in a tutorial. In this video, I talk about how games like Minecraft, Deltarune, and Portal - and their genres - teach players through structures, trial and error, escalation, and just good game design. I also talk about how Dandy’s World handles teaching players, and why I think it sucks booty; like relying on other players to explain the game for you. Are tutorials always needed? Or can games teach players better by just letting them play? Check out the video to find out!
