The Best REWARD a Player Can Get

What causes a game to make the player strive to be better at It? What rewards do games use to incentivize the player to play with higher skill? In this video I talk about my favorite skill based games and why perfecting them can feel amazing. Games like Celeste and Hollow Knight are some good examples, and so I wanted to make a video about other games that do something similar.

0:00-1:03 Skill Issue? Git Gud.
1:03-2:14 Cuphead S Ranks are Visual Rewards
2:14-3:27 How Hollow Knight rewards your skill with Lore
3:27-5:06 Enter The Gungeon Wants you to Succeed
5:06-7:55 Why Ultrakill is the Game of All Time
7:55-8:31 The Future of Skill-Based Action Games

If you are wondering about a specific game I used footage of just comment and ask with a timestamp!

Songs Used:
Celeste Beyond the Heart
Downstream
Cuphead Forest Follies
Hollow Knight Grimm
EtG Oubliette Sting
