Visibility

The degree to which the current state of the game and its possible actions are apparent to the player at any given moment.

In games, this means

A player should always know: what they can do, what just happened, and what will happen next. Hidden cooldowns, invisible walls, or missing feedback all reduce visibility and increase player confusion.
