Game feel is the reason you can keep shooting virtual human beings in first person shooters without feeling like an absolute monster afterwards. For example, a controller’s vibration or a pleasing sound effect that plays when you score a critical hit or a neat visual effect that appears every time that you fire a gun. In game development, there’s the concept of “game feel.” It refers to how a game, well, feels when someone plays it. Klee makes me wonder if animals actually transform into perfectly portioned steaks in the Teyvat universe.

Inazuma is filled with complicated new puzzles, and the Lightning Shogun constantly rains her deadly fury from the heavens. But I’ve been too distracted to complete it because hunting animals is too fun. Genshin Impact’s Inazuma update just came out last month.
