Not only do these features make it more accessible, it also makes it stand out from games within the same genre. Playing other games not only gives you more insight into what makes a game creative, but also some perspective on what players seek in games.

If the game feels too predictable, it’s time to infuse some bold creativity. I’d organize a dynamic brainstorming session with the team, encouraging them to pitch unconventional ideas. Introducing unique mechanics, blending genres, or crafting unexpected storylines can give the game a distinctive edge. The aim? To captivate players by balancing market trends with originality.
