“…The concept of game mechanics has been assigned a variety of definitions in a number of research efforts (Lo, et al, 2021), ranging from explorations of meaning to practical applications of data about how users navigate the systems within games and other highly interactive interfaces. Most definitions focus either on the perspective of game designers and what could improve their craft, or on the experience of gamers who actually play the games.…”

However, a recent systematic review indicates a lack of consensus in the community on the formal definition [LTC21].…”
