Player Feedback Loop
The continuous cycle of action → outcome → response that players experience throughout gameplay. Distinct from game feedback loops, this refers to the macro loop of the full play session.
In games, this means
In a session of Valorant: play match → win/lose → see stats → identify weakness → queue again. Each part of this loop must deliver information that motivates the next step. A broken stat screen breaks the full player feedback loop.
