Kniestedt, I. (author), Gómez Maureira, Marcello A. (author), Lefter, I. (author), Lukosch, Stephan (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)Validation of serious games tends to focus on evaluating their design as a whole. While this helps to assess whether a particular combination of game mechanics is successful, it provides little insight into how individual mechanics contribute or detract from a serious game's purpose or a player's game experience. This study analyses the effect...journal article 2021
