  It's the best feeling when you spin the analog stick and the character just...spins in place, completely unrealistically.

  4 seconds into the video and I already 1000% knew exactly where you were going with that

  this the type of stuff I want to hear whenever I look into a game review. But I guess I expect too much

  That sound the bad guys make when you jump on them in Donkey Kong Country goes a long way toward giving that game its feel.

  Playing Metroid Dread gave me that feeling:tm: super hard, Samus just feels so smooth and precise in that game

  Its funny that a lot of modern games try to keep physics "realistic" and restricted when they are bound to break anyways. If you know things like this are not fool proof you might as well lean into the fun of it rather than just making it feel bad as an alternative. Glad to see some others with the same design brain worms as me lol

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Msz7V6GLwfk&amp;t=68">1:08</a> Game feel is a term coined by Steve Swink in his book, &quot;Game Feel: A Game Designers Guide to Virtual Sensation&quot; <br><br>Steve defines Game Feel as the sensation of control produced by &nbsp;&quot;Real-time control of virtual objects in a simulated space, with interactions emphasized by polish.&quot; <br><br>I highly recommend giving this book a glance, you can easily find a pdf. He goes way deeper into the nuances of how human perception, input devices etc affect the feel of games and it all feels incredibly practical and useful for both discussing and developing games, it&apos;s a shame that like every video on this subject never mentions him

  Game feel is soooo important towards the enjoyment of a game. Sure, galaxy is a great game but running with the fluidity of rayman in origins makes me boot that up 10x more

  &apos;Tis very satisfying to hear people talk about this secret sauce. Sora moving like a damn car in KH3 drives ( Ha ) me up a flowmotion accessible wall.
