This study explores how gamification in DOTA 2 cultivates 21st-century skills (problem-solving, teamwork, communication, and critical thinking). It supports DOTA 2 as an immersive platform for skill development. The study investigated various sources, including player surveys, meticulous gameplay analysis, academic research reviews, and expert opinions. By synthesizing this evidence, the study sheds light on DOTA 2’s potential to hone and refine abilities. Player surveys revealed individuals’ acquisition of adaptability in dynamic situations, cultivation of strategic thinking abilities, and enhancement of effective team collaboration skills. An in-depth examination of gameplay unveiled discernible patterns of collaborative effort and cognitive processes aimed at resolving challenges resembling real-world situations. Existing scholarly literature substantiates these findings and highlights gaming’s role in developing 21st-century competencies. The study emphasizes the potential implications of its results for stakeholders, such as educators, policymakers, and game developers, offering valuable opportunities for the practical application of gamification strategies. It sparks further investigation and exploration of unexplored research avenues. This study contributes to the growing body of literature recognizing gaming’s substantial advantages in fostering crucial 21st-century skills.

“…In another study, the skills of a player when playing games were determined using factors namely historical success, luck, and circumstances. The game developed and used was the RPG Lite game, which was analyzed to identify possible shortcomings [25]. The perceived ease-ofuse (PEOU), perceived usefulness (PU), attitude against use (ATU), intention to use (ITU), and actual use (AU), alongside additional variables of social influence (SI), personal (P), and excitement have also been used to identify online game factors for students [26].…”

(PANDEMIC Covid-19) is an educational shooter game inspired by the Covid-19 pandemic which occurred from the end of 2019 until early 2022. There are 2 game modes, namely Third-Person Shooter, or TPS, and First-Person Shooter, or FPS. This study was carried out to highlight the absence of a shooter genre game used in the student learning process. The research methodology in the development of this game applied the pressman method, and the stages include planning, analysis, game development and artificial intelligence, implementation, as well as evaluation. Furthermore, the testing phase used software testing techniques based on the ISO 9126 standard and involved a total of 100 participants. The age range was between 17 and 20 years, while the participants' gender percentages were 55% male and 45% female. Some of the factors tested include functionality, reliability, portability, usability, efficiency, and maintainability. There were 2 choices only in this test, i.e. agree and disagree. The functionality factor had an agreed rate of 85%; reliability 79%, portability 86%, usability 83%, efficiency 79%, and maintainability 87%. Therefore, it was concluded that this game is suitable for use in student learning in the shooter genre. Furthermore, this research was inspired because shooter games have not been developed for the student learning process. This game genre is currently used for hobbies and for profit by developers and professional players. Further research should develop game levels, enable features to play online together with other users, and should be extended to Android and IOS.
