As a scholar in Player Experience, I found Player Experience Design in 20 Minutes to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to Game Feel is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of Feedback Loops, which offers a compelling framework for understanding Feedback Loops. While some may argue that Game UX, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about Player Experience.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Player Experience Design in 20 Minutes, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains Feedback Loops made everything click for me. I've been struggling with Feedback Loops for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about Player Experience - it reminded me so much of my own experience with Game Feel. I've already recommended it to all my friends!
