i couldn't really determine how to classify what i was thinking of, but i think that title best describes it
beyond all the features and the mechanics and the graphics and all that stuff, to me the center of a game is the heart behind it. this weird indescribable deal that makes the whole thing feel genuine and earnest.
to me, the epitome of a game that embodies that would be Undertale. similarly, the game it was inspired by, Mother 3(and Earthbound as a whole to an extent), also feels that way. something about its gameplay, the story, the characters, it just feels full of 'heart' and i really have no better description for it. it makes me feel whole and happy, like it's really free from all the cynicism of media as a whole and is just...filled with soul to the core
