Corruption of Among Us, the name of a 2018 social deduction game developed by Innersloth. Popularized by memes around January 2021, in which a StoneToss comic is edited to say "amogus" in a humorous non sequitur.

etymon

Can I get a^([sic]) ipad,^([sic]) and pillow that looks like Amogus and a Baby Alive. Love, Kyleigh […] For Christmas, I would like an Among Us plushy^([sic]) because I love Among Us. […] Love, Jaxton

2021 December 15, “Santa Letters”, in The Cadiz Record, volume 138, number 50, page S5:

While the peak of Among Us memes has been comfortably left in 2021, there are still dark remnants of the past remaining in pop culture today. One has to look no further than a surprise "amogus" in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

2022 April 13, Jamie Dunkin, “You can't escape 'Among Us' memes, even in 'LEGO Star Wars'”, in We Got This Covered:

We reached out to Innersloth to hear the devs' thoughts on the popular amogus art template. Community director Victoria Tran sent over a brief comment.

2022 October 17, Austin Wood, “Among Us is now the best worst art tool, and the devs say it's "absolutely inspired"”, in GamesRadar+:

For example, the Scholar’s Scavenge that spanned most of the first day sent randomised teams to the Siam Amazing Park to tick off a list of increasinbly bizarre ice-breaking prompts, including “film a singing duel between the best and worst singers”, “show a WSC staff member a wild amogus”, “Initiate a dinosaur-alpaca feud”, and many, many more.

(Internet slang) A crewmate or impostor character from the video game Among Us.

They're all able to make up new punny names based on their altmode without being told what they turn into--presumably their computers might even recognize the scanned Beast Mode immediately, like a Pokedex; "You've scanned a cheetah. Cheetahs are really fast."

2012 June 5, Onslaught Six, “Does Beast Wars Deserve a Revisit?”, in alt.toys.transformers (Usenet):

Entomologists use catalogues and checklists to record species, such as the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) online database. The ALA includes data like a Pokédex does, including species distribution and collection information.

border gore

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-border gore.wav

From border + gore (“murder, bloodshed, violence”), jokingly suggesting that such borders are so gruesome they might cause someone to become physically ill.

com

You started a world war, killing millions, just to fix some of your border gore?

For the most part, you can enjoy a game of Crusader Kings II without ever playing as a merchant republic. Although, it's worth noting that their trade posts can cause quite the border gore when using its specific map mode.

2018 November 27, Jason Rodriguez, “Crusader Kings II: Best And Worst DLC Expansions”, in PCInvasion, archived from the original on 2022-12-04:

The Kingdom of France can end up having more Finnish land than French. The Spanish King might decide to conquer just the north of Ireland. An Indian prince may end up ruling Poland. This delightful phenomenon is known 'bordergore' and adds a flavour to the game that many others struggle to replicate.

[2020 October 11, Robert Macilraith, Joshua Walker, “Tutorial Level: Crusader Kings 2- More Than Just a Colourful Map”, in The Oxford Student, archived from the original on 2022-06-26:

The developers add that this new feature "will allow you to ask for things directly without resorting immediately to war, which will remain a last resort when you need to topple a king whose tolerance of border-gore clearly proves their illegitimacy".

2021 September 22, Andy Brown, “Royal Court DLC for 'Crusader Kings 3' will let players formally beg for help”, in NME, archived from the original on 2021-10-22:

France, but the shape of a giraffe, with a number of its counties belonging to Wales, with an odd little exclave far up North in Norway? That's border gore.

2022 August 24, Ruth Cassidy, “Crusader Kings 3 update looks to tone-down the 'border gore' of endless conquest”, in PC Gamer, archived from the original on 2022-10-03:

I will be blunt dear reader, I was never a fan of the Peace Conference system in Hearts Of Iron IV up until this point; it felt underdeveloped, was prone to border gore, and it was hard to get a decent settlement for your efforts.

2022 November 4, Chris Hall, “Hearts Of Iron IV: By Blood Alone Review: Planes and More!”, in KeenGamer, archived from the original on 2023-01-19:

South Georgia could unite with Florida. Eastern Colorado could join Kansas. We might end up with some ugly boundary lines — what map-based video game enthusiasts call "border gore" — but that's a small price to pay for a little more harmony.

raising sim

Thankfully, it was fan-translated in 2001, and should be familiar enough even for those who've never dabbled in raising sims.

2011 June, “Wonder Project J”, in Retro Gamer, number 91, page 59:

The long-running Princess Maker series is a good example of a raising sim, requiring the character to raise a daughter to become a princess.

2021, Matt Barnes, Dazz Brown, Greg S-C, Region Locked: The Key To Gaming's Buried Treasure, page 208:

Those who play these Raising sims are responsible for characters’ clothing, as well as their battle training.

Soulsborne

Blend of souls + bloodborne, after the Dark Souls trilogy and Bloodborne.

As the director of each of the Soulsborne games, Miyazaki is a strong influence on all aspects of the final product, including visual design, gameplay, and narrative content.

2019, “Introduction”, in Matthew Wilhelm Kapell, editor, Narrative Design and Authorship in Bloodborne: An Analysis of the Horror Videogame, page 4:

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice was created by FromSoftware, the developers behind the Soulsborne titles.

2020, James Palmer, "Why did UK games sales drop in 2019?", The Boar (University of Warwick), 13 February 2022, page 32

Sure, “Death's Door” does little to hide its love for both the Zelda and Soulsborne franchises, cramming in dense lore to creepy dungeons filled with puzzles and enemies galore, but it manages to take the best part of these series and form something wholly unique.

2021 July 29, M. Deitz, “Fighting against your death in 'Death's Door'”, in The Michigan Daily, University of Michigan, page 9:

(fandom slang, video games) A loose series of dark fantasy action role-playing video games developed by FromSoftware, generally held as including Demon's Souls (2009), the Dark Souls trilogy (2011-2016), Bloodborne (2015), and Elden Ring (2022).


Soulsborne

en-noun

Soulsborne (countable and uncountable, plural Soulsbornes)

Because FromSoftware's Demon's Souls is the granddaddy of the soulsborne genre, and one of the PlayStation 3's overlooked classics.

2020 October, “Have Your Say: Demon's Soul”, in PlayStation Official Magazine, page 27:

“Blasphemous” is a masterfully crafted game that would entice hardcore fans of Soulsborne and Metroidvania games.

2022, Gabrielle Cabello Torres, "From The International: Video Games From Different Cultures", Mace & Crown (Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA), Spring 2022, page 36

The Soulsborne formula has been imitated countless times but mastered by few apart from FromSoftware, the original pioneers.

2022 December 29, Cameron Rasmusson, “Elden Ring recaptures magic of video game discovery”, in Reader, page 17:

(fandom slang, video games, uncountable) A video game subgenre influenced by this series, characterized by high difficulty, trial-and-error progression, esoteric enemy movesets, environmental storytelling, and complex lore.

Do you have room for another Soulsborne in your life?

2018, "Team Ninja's Nioh 2 is back for more", PlayStation Official Magazine (UK), August 2018, page 11 (image caption)

Diagrammatics allows us to properly think about how something like a “soulsborne” can be created: It is a set of mechanics, modes of storytelling, and player expectations that branch out and proliferate from the original object.

2020, Cameron Kunzelman, "How we deal with dark souls: The aesthetic category as a method", in Hybrid Play: Crossing Boundaries in Game Design, Players Identities and Play Spaces (eds. Adriana de Souza e Silva & Ragan Glover-Rijkse), unnumbered page

Lee confirms it offers the challenge of a soulsborne but with a greater level of flexibility in how you approach that challenge.

2020 December, “Godfall”, in PlayStation Official Magazine, UK, page 56:

(fandom slang, video games, countable) An individual game of this genre.


life simulation

life simulation (plural life simulations)

Activision's Autumn titles were up and running, and some Winter games were previewed, including Alter Ego, a "life simulation" game, and Fast Tracks, a slot car racing program.

1985 November, Chris Jenkins, “PCW Show: promises, promises!”, in Commodore Horizons, page 10:

Life simulations and dating games also influenced Yasuhiro Wada, the designer of the gentile farming sim series Harvest Moon, which first appeared in 1996 on the Super NES.

2010, Tristan Donovan, Replay: The History of Video Games, page 157:

While the mechanics changed very little in the DS version, Nintendo's snarky little life-simulation title [Animal Crossing] found its perfect ally.

farm sim

A PlayStation update of the SNES and Game Boy cult smash, this is essentially a farm sim in which you have to milk cows, herd sheep, feed chickens and pull up oodles of home-grown veggies.

2000, "Orient Express", Official PlayStation Magazine (Australia), August/September 2000, page 16

The Playstation 2 is quickly becoming a harbor for sequels to nearly every genre that you can come up with—even super-odd, farm sims that only people like ECM and Shidoshi can love.

2001, Haohmaru, "Harvest Moon 3", GameGo! Magazine, Volume 1, Issue 2 (2001), page 21

Jenga is by all means a greater tragedy, but in a way, Jenga would never have happened if literally every other possible thing weren't already a game. And farm sims certainly had a role in that.

2008, Seanbaby, "Nintendo's Party of Pain", Electronic Gaming Monthly, July 2008, page 93


life sim

Although there are other life sims such as Theme Park, Sim City and so on, they've all had a gameplay objective, a purpose for playing.

farming sim

Down on the farm... Clear your land, till the soil, plant some seeds – there aren't many farming sims out there, but Harvest Moon proves that they should be more popular than Lara.

1999 December, “Arcade's Top 10 Game Boy games”, in Arcade, page 119:

While many millions of people are wasting away their life on social game Farmville, many of us have been there, done that with the master of the farming sim, Harvest Moon.

2010, "The Cheat Mistress, The Games of the Decade, unnumbered page

1996, "Et tu, Build Rome!", InterAction, Spring 1996, page 32

Most modern city sims content themselves with jazzing up some core element, offering a simpler, more accessible experience, or transplanting the production to an unconventional setting.

2006 September, “City Life”, in Computer Gaming World, page 98:

This is exactly the kind of playfulness I expect from Tropico—it may be a city sim, but it’s never been about building by the book.

2010 September, Evan Lahti, “Totalitariani-sim”, in PC Gamer, page 84:


tile-matching game

tile-matching game (plural tile-matching games)

dating sim

Unlike typical Western games, the goal in Japanese dating sims is to attain true love rather than defeat level bosses.

2004 September, “Dating Lessons With Anime Play?”, in CPU: Computer Power User, page 9:

Tokimeki Memorial was hugely influential not just in kickstarting the entire dating sim genre in Japan but also in the way its gameplay influenced the love mechanics I've already described in Persona 4 and Dragon Age: Origins.

2015, Nicholas Ware, “Interative romance and button-mashing sex: Gameplay design and video games' Nice Guy Syndrome”, in Evan W. Lauteria, Matthew Wysocki, editors, Rated M for Mature: Sex and Sexuality in Video Games, page 234:

2018, Eddy Webb, “Buy Gems to Woo Your Lover: Free-to-Play Narratives”, in Toiya Kristen Finely, editor, Narrative Tactics for Mobile and Social Games: Pocket-Sized Storytelling, page 238:

1988 August, “Action Packed”, in ST Action, page 2:

Lots of levels and cool power-ups make it last longer than most brick-busters.

2009, “iPod Click Wheel Games”, in iPod + iPhone Buyers' Guide' 2009, page 102:

The Power Glove is indeed bad in the literal sense of the word, but not when used for Super Glove Ball, which put a new slant on such brick-busters as Breakout and Arkanoid.

2016, Pat Contri, Ultimate Guide to the NES Library 1985-1995, page 313:

grand strategy game

[…] and World Empire, a Risk-style computer grand-strategy game published in 1991.

2013, Nick Dyer-Witheford, Greig de Peuter, Games of Empire Global Capitalism and Video Games, unnumbered page:

As [Marc James] Carpenter (2021) prompts us to consider of one popular grand strategy game, “will a seasoned Europa Universalis player who succeeds at the enormous challenge of pushing back colonial invaders playing as the Cherokee gain an appreciation of Cherokee sovereignty, or an arrogant assumption that colonial conquest could have been avoided with superior strategy?"

2021, Kristine Levan, Steven Downing, Crime, Punishment, and Video Games, page 91:

Crusader Kings II is a grand strategy game set in medieval Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.

2022, Jere Kyyrö, “Particularizing the universal: Medievalist constructions of cultural and religious difference in Crusader Kings II”, in Reima Välimäki, editor, Medievalism in Finland and Russia: Twentieth- and Twenty-First Century Aspects, page 138:

utsuge

Borrowed from Japanese 鬱ゲー (utsuge, “depressing game”), a combination of 鬱 (utsu, “melancholy, gloom”) and ゲー (gē), a shortening of ゲーム (gēmu, “game”), itself from English game.

bor

Utsuge, on the other hand, stands for pretty much the opposite of nakige, aiming to be as depressing an experience as possible.

2019, Robert Ciesla, Game Development with Ren'Py: Introduction to Visual Novel Games Using Ren'Py, TyranoBuilder, and Twine, page 90:

The related genre “utsuge” (“depressing game”), unlike “nakige”, does not typically achieve a happy ending.

2019, Ema Bícová, "Visual Novel and Its Translation", thesis submitted to Palacký University Olomouc, pages 12-13

Nitroplus, the company behind Saya no uta, specializes in utsuge containing body horror, gore, rape, and depression—in short, as scholar Clarisse Thorn puts it, games that are “not ‘fun’ in the way most people think about ‘fun,’ that’s for sure.”

2020, Ana Matilde Sousa, "She's Not Your Waifu; She's an Eldritch Abomination: Saya no uta and Queer Antisociality in Japanese Visual Novels", Mechademia, Volume 13, Number 1, Fall 2020

tycoon game

Since its 1999 debut, Rollercoaster Tycoon has become one of the most successful and influential computer games of the past decade, selling millions of copies and inspiring every third-rate game designer to cash in on its success with their own tycoon game.

2017, Christina Majaski, The Ultimate Unofficial Guide to Robloxing: Everything You Need to Know to Build Awesome Games!, New York, N.Y.: Sky Pony Press, →ISBN, page 67:

Have you ever wanted to run your own business? You might enjoy tycoon games. In one game, you might get to build your own theme park.

Try to make as much money as possible with your new business!

2021, Josh Gregory, Games and Genres in Roblox, Cherry Lake Press, →ISBN, page 19:

In modern renditions of tycoon games, developers will often take advantage of non-player characters (NPCs), more complex ways of unlocking new items, infinite expansion capabilities, and sometimes stunning visuals.

nakige

Borrowed from Japanese 泣きゲー (nakige, “crying game”), a combination of なき (naki, “crying”) and ゲー (gē), a shortening of ゲーム (gēmu, “game”), itself from English game.

Nakige are known for their sense of melancholy. Take 2001's Kimi ga Nozomu Eien (The Eternity You Desire), for example, which was released by eroge label âge, a division of ACID. Soon after high school student Takayuki Narumi falls for his classmate Haruka Suzumiya, she goes into a coma after a car accident. Depressed and shocked, Takayuki develops post-traumatic stress disorder and becomes involved with Haruka's best friend, Mitsuki. "To put it simply, a nakige brings players to tears as they read the in-game text," says [ACID CEO Hirohiko] Yoshida.

2010, Brian Ashcroft, Shoko Ueda, Japanese Schoolgirl Confidential: How Teenage Girls Made a Nation Cool, page 154:

The medium is dominated by nakige, the crying genre, much like how superheroes dominate comics and sitcoms television.

2011 November 10, Alex Mui, “Visual Novels: Unrecognized Narrative Art”, in The Johns Hopkins News-Letter, Johns Hopkins University, page B5:

A Japanese visual novel of a genre characterized by melodramatic plots intended to move the player to tears.


tactical RPG

2000 January, “Vandal Hearts II”, in Electronic Gaming Monthly, page 234:

The PSP is a treasure-trove of tactical RPGs, with stuff like Disgaea, Tactics Ogre and Growlanser, but for many FFT is the pinnacle of the genre.

2013 May, Sam Smith, “Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions”, in Play, page 95:

Still, Valkyria Chronicles remains one of the best tactical RPGs of the 2000s, with a fresh take on the genre, an involving story and gorgeous visuals.

2022, Felipe Pepe, editor, The CRPG Book: A Guide to Computer Role-Playing Games, Expanded Edition, page 405:


nukige

Borrowed from Japanese 抜(ぬ)きゲー (nukigē), a combination of 抜(ぬ)く (nuku, “to jerk off”, literally “to extract”) and ゲー (gē), a shortening of ゲーム (gēmu, “game”), itself from English game.

ja-r

Eroge is a hugely popular genre of visual novel both from established producers and fan circles, and can be further divided into smaller categories such as nukige (抜きゲ) or ‘jack-off game’, referring to a game that is intended to provide easy access to sex scenes or other erotic material to facilitate masturbation.

2016, Matthew R. Bird, "Eustia of the Tarnished Wings: The Visual Novel in Translation", thesis submitted to the University of Massachusetts Amherst, page 17

As well as the effect of loosening content restrictions, the key point here is that Japanese videogame regulation is fractured by platform multiplicity. Small publishers producing games such as dating sims, visual novels, and ‘nukige’ (masturbation games) cohere to self-regulate, and more serious sexual content is confined to the PC market, dominated by adult consumers.

2019, Catherine Driscoll & Liam Grealy, "In the name of the nation: Media classification, globalisation, and exceptionalism", International Journal of Cultural Studies, Volume 22, Issue 3, May 2009 (link)

Unlike nukige, visual novels that focus primarily on sexual interactions between characters, the focus of eroge is on the story, including more romantic or emotional relationships.

2022, William Schrage, "Hiding Hobbies and Saving Social Lives: About the Representation of Otaku Struggles in Ore no imōto ga konnani kawaii wake ga nai", Mechademia, Volume 14, Number 2, Spring 2022

(video games) A Japanese visual novel genre featuring sexually explicit content for the sole purpose of masturbation or sexual gratification.


Mobian

From Mobius, the fictional planet such characters would inhabit in some incarnations of their universe.

Now, their accents do in fact fit them well, and do represent (as someone said formerly) the fact that they're a group of Mobians from different cultural worlds..

1998 August 25, RazJMastrs, alt.fan.sonic-hedgehog (Usenet):

"Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble" (1995) has manifestations in both a comic book trilogy and as a video game. We'll simply make note of the saga's floating islands. “Panic in the Sky” starts off with a group of happy Mobians playing volleyball until interrupted by a shadow.

2015, Richard J. Heggen, Floating Islands: an Activity Book, published 2021, page 172:

Both [the Pokemon and Sonic franchises] are home to a wide variety of creatures capable of feats of great strength and speed and elemental manipulation. The only difference is that those from the Sonic universe, also known as Mobians, can speak.

2023 February 4, Dexter Adams, “9 Pokemon That Look Like Sonic Characters”, in TheGamer:

(fandom slang) An anthropomorphic character from, or in the style of, characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog universe.


blast 'em up

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-blast 'em up.wav

As destruction games go, Silkworm is fine. It's definitely a bit easy (I completed it after a dozen goes), but if you find the normal level of blast-'em-ups too difficult, this one should be rewarding. The two-player option is brilliant (one takes control of the jeep and the other the helicopter) and increases the addictivity.

1989, "Silkworm" (video game review) in Crash (issue 66, pages 24-25)

(video games) A shoot 'em up video game.

EverQuester (canonical)
EverQuesters (plural)

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-EverQuester.wav

Well, millions of Quake freaks would beg to differ, but there’s no doubting the depths of the Everquesters’^([sic]) passions; already tales are circulating of companies’ banning the game from their in-house machines and college girlfriends stealing the discs from their boyfriends’ PCs.

1999 June 21, Michael Krantz, “Grab Your Breastplate!: Everquest^([sic]) reinvents the Web role-playing game”, in Time, volume 153, number 24, page 63:

The new race and its new tracts of land have been welcomed with open arms by EverQuesters.

2000 September, Alex Handy, “EverQuest: Ruins of Kunark”, in Computer Gaming World, number 194, page 118:

Such players, say the EverQuesters, discount the fun involved in questing and, due to their desire to get quality items, increase a propensity among players for camping near monster hotspots.

2001 April, “EQ Banned: eBay Cracks Down on Item Farmers”, in PC PowerPlay, number 59, page 13:

Internet humor is abundant on EverQuest in particular, depicting the lifestyle of an EverQuest'''er as a comical addict, hooked on “digital crack” or EverCrack.

2001 February 15, John VanDenburgh, “Caught in the web: Thousands of gamers have been bitten by online role-playing bug”, in The Arizona Republic, 111th year, number 273, page 35:

Community is certainly something Gollop and his Codo cohorts are keen to build up, for while Nemesis won’t be offering the same kind of persistent world EverQuesters enjoy for 15 bucks a month, for the same price you will get six months of tactical gameplay, in which each battle won gradually gets you higher and higher up the Nemesis league table.

2002 January, Richie Shoemaker, “Laser Squad Nemesis”, in PC Zone, number 111, page 89:

Want to spend hours just chatting with and annoying other EverQuest'''ers? It’s your call.

2003 January, Shane Bettenhausen, “EverQuest Online Adventures”, in Electronic Gaming Monthly, number 162, page 86:

That places the playtime of the 400,000-strong nation of EverQuesters higher than that created by the full-time work of countries such as Syria, Egypt and China.

2003, New Scientist and Science Journal, page 44:

Hard-core EverQuesters will see new challenges, keeping many of the great elements that were integrated over the years, but other MOGs have helped improve the genre since EverQuest’s release as a first-generation MOG, and EQII takes advantage of some of those improvements, as well.

2004, CopperAngel, Sharkdog, “EverQuest I to EverQuest II”, in EverQuest II: Prima Official Game Guide, Prima Games, →ISBN, page 6:

Friends and family members of EverQuest'''ers often feel abandoned and angry about the amount of time (nearly one day a week for the average player) that their loved ones spend with the game.

Monk says, “Bye bye Everquesters^([sic]) ... monk gona^([sic]) go FD [feign death is a monk specific ability used to fool monsters that you are dead] one last time in Qeynos [one of the hometowns] .... if i knew you, well met ...... see you on EQ2 [Everquest 2] or WoW [World of Warcraft]”

2006, Mikael Jakobsson, “Questing for Knowledge—Virtual Worlds as Dynamic Processes of Social Interaction”, in Ralph Schroeder, Ann-Sofie Axelsson, editors, Avatars at Work and Play: Collaboration and Interaction in Shared Virtual Environments (Computer Supported Cooperative Work; volume 34), Springer, →ISBN, page 218:

Some Everquest'''ers^([sic]) gave up their day jobs to turn pro, building up virtual collections to sell

2008 August, Kate Berens, Geoff Howard, The Rough Guide to Videogames, Rough Guides, →ISBN, pages 40–41:

In the magical realm of “Everquesters,”^([sic]) where players from around the world create characters who travel through different “planes of power,” there are graduated levels of shawl quests involving ever-more powerful textiles.

2011, Beverly Gordon, Textiles: The Whole Story: Uses, Meanings, Significance, Thames & Hudson, →ISBN, page 262:

A player of the 3D fantasy-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game EverQuest.

A technique within competitive Super Smash Bros. performed by air dodging diagonally into the ground.

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-gameware.wav

It is very likely that children's use of computers in public libraries is similar to their home use – more for entertainment than for learning. Because recreation is a legitimate part of the public library mission, librarians need not be concerned to present only purely educational gameware but will exercise judgment in selecting materials in this area as in all other formats.

1995, Holly G. Willett, Public Library Youth Services: A Public Policy Approach, Norwood, NJ: Ablex Publishing Corporation, →ISBN, page 52:

(software, video games) Video game software.


ミニマップ

(video games) A small on-screen map to aid players in orienting themselves within the game.


skill floor

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-skill floor.wav

Coordinate term: skill ceiling

Hey, I like all the VS, it's just the skill ceiling may not be as high as on some other games. But I feel the difference is far enough from the floor that it provides a decent spread among players in the area. The problem comes in when the skill ceiling is close to or even ON the skill floor.

1999 February 21, Kid Vid, “VS=Good Game”, in alt.games.sf2 (Usenet):

Yeah, just you. If we set 3-ball cascade as the skill floor of juggling, 5 ball cascade is not an extremely low level.

2004 February 29, Scott Kurland, “poi/juggling communication invitation”, in rec.juggling (Usenet):

There's an old game design maxim: good games take minutes to learn but a lifetime to master. Another way to say this is "low skill floor, high skill ceiling."

2009, Steve Swink, Game Feel: A Game Designer's Guide to Virtual Sensation, Boca Raton, F.L.: CRC Press, →ISBN, page 302:

Enter Gnar, Azir, Kalista and the upcoming Rek'Sai. These are champions with considerably elevated skill floors – they’re simply difficult to play any kind of competently.

2015 December 5, Julian Aidan, “Complex Champions Means Longer Life For League Of Legends”, in Hardcore Gamer, archived from the original on 2022-01-23:

There may be no better example of how low the skill floor can go than getting literal toddlers to play Mario Kart and actually exercise a modicum of control over what's happening on screen: Kinect is the only other platform for which I can imagine that happening.

2018 January 9, Dave Thier, “It Turns Out You Can Get A Baby To Play 'Mario Kart 8' On Nintendo Switch”, in Forbes, New York, N.Y.: Forbes Media, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2020-11-09:

Designing a game with a high skill ceiling (where players must invest significant time and effort to achieve maximum skill) often results in a game with a relatively high skill floor as well.

2019 June 13, Game Design Snacks: Easily Digestible Game Design Wisdom, Pittsburgh, P.A.: ETC Press, →ISBN, page 111:

This is to say that I'm not predisposed to sticking to Valorant due to its genre. I'd tried my hand at both Counter-Strike and CS:GO and found that between the aesthetics and a high skill floor, neither of them really got their hooks into me.

2020 October 21, Ricardo Contreras, “'Valorant' Is the Tactical Shooter I Needed to Get Into Tactical Shooters”, in VICE, archived from the original on 2022-12-07:

I'm always here for lowering the skill floor while preserving a high ceiling. Many developers have tried to make unwelcoming genres like real-time strategy and fighting games friendlier, and I want to see devs continue to try.

2022 June 9, Alice O'Connor, “Former Blizzard folks announce free-to-play RTS Stormgate”, in Rock Paper Shotgun, archived from the original on 2022-08-14:

[…] we're also working on lowering the skill floor for our game by providing easier ways to take certain actions, such as building our equivalent of a barracks.

2022 June 21, Andy Brown, “Frost Giant Studios CEO Tim Morten on 'Stormgate': "The RTS genre's best days are ahead"”, in NME, archived from the original on 2022-06-29:

(chiefly video games) The minimum amount of skill required to be considered competent at some game or activity.


skill ceiling

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-skill ceiling.wav

Coordinate term: skill floor

Chess has an extremely high skill ceiling. Even the best chess-playing programs are constantly being improved.

A fighting game with a low skill ceiling will quickly get boring after one masters its mechanics.

Among 10 and 11-year-old children, boys' games have a higher 'skill ceiling', and are more competitive and longer-lasting than those of girls.

1984, Peter K. Smith, editor, Play in Animals and Humans, Oxford, Oxfordshire, New York, NY: Basil Blackwell, →ISBN, page 284:

The really fantastic thing about this "visible suits" idea is that it would have a negligible effect upon the skill floor – the additional information would not have to be used, whereas its effect on the skill ceiling would be considerable.

2010 August 18, Markgm, “game theory and design”, in alt.math.recreational (Usenet):

I think the appeal is the high skill ceiling mixed with ample opportunities for fun lucky shots.

2017 May 9, Toby Newman, “Free Rocket League for the weekend & sale on steam”, in comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action (Usenet):

However, the beauty of Rocket League as a competitive game and esport is that the skill ceiling is limitless. Take a look at the best goals from last season's World Championship and you'll see what I mean.

2018 December 26, Max Thielmeyer, “Brand New To 'Rocket League'? Here's How To Get Good Quick”, in Forbes, New York, N.Y.: Forbes Media, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2020-11-08:

NRG Apex Legends pro player Brandon 'Ace' Winn explained the inherent pitfalls that come with using a keyboard and mouse as well as a controller, comparing the skill ceilings and floors that the peripherals provide for players.

2020 January 22, Alan Bernal, “Apex Legends' Ace explains why controller players have higher skill floor”, in Dexerto, archived from the original on 2022-05-17:

I'm a huge fan of movement glitches (strafe-jumping and ramp-jumping made Quake 2 for me) so I hope CDPR don't patch this out, especially as it's a singleplayer game. It raises the skill ceiling without causing harm, other than perhaps to immersion - but that's already shattered by bugs like pedestrians disappearing when you turn around or, as seen in this video, cars which appear on the horizon then vanish as you draw near.

2021 January 5, Alice O'Connor, “Cyberpunk 2077 bunnyhopping is a bug I hope they don't fix”, in Rock Paper Shotgun, archived from the original on 2022-09-07:

This is another heavy hitter from Nintendo with a sound gameplay loop and a decent skill ceiling.

2021 June 28, Jordan Oloman, “'Mario Golf Super Rush' review: Another delightfully different Nintendo Switch sports game”, in NME, archived from the original on 2023-01-05:

[…] SSX Tricky is the kind of game that makes you feel cool in a number of ways which are all equally important. There's the low skill ceiling - you get to feel cool with very little, and you can invest in your skill and become really good at the game, a feeling I didn't really get to experience in other sports games until then.

2022 May 22, Malindy Hetfeld, “Few games obsessed me like SSX Tricky”, in Eurogamer, archived from the original on 2022-07-07:

(chiefly video games) The amount of skill required to master some activity (especially a game or character); the maximum possible skill.
