Abstract

"Accurately quantifying player experience is challenging for many reasons: identifying a ground truth and building validated and reliable scales are both challenging tasks; on top of that, empirical results are often moderated by individual factors. In this article, we present a study on the rogue-like game Hades designed to investigate the impact of individual differences in the operationalisation of player experience by cross-referencing multiple modalities (i.e., questionnaires, gameplay, and heart rate) and identifying the interplay between their scales."
