Playtesting

Playtesting is the process of evaluating a game by having real players experience it before its final release. During playtesting, designers gather feedback on gameplay, difficulty, and overall enjoyment. This helps identify issues, such as confusing rules or unbalanced mechanics, allowing developers to make necessary adjustments. The goal is to ensure the game is enjoyable and functioning as intended. Playtesting can be informal, like having friends try the game, or formal, involving targeted sessions with specific demographics. It’s a crucial step in game development to enhance quality and user experience.
