What is it about?
How easy to learn (learnability) and navigate (usability) a game can improve the level of immersion, flow and the general appreciation of the game. The model that was obtained in this research support the idea that the perceived usability level influence the perceived level of appeal of the game which then has an impact on the immersion level. Immersion and flow also both contributes to reaching a high level of enjoyment.
