Abstract
In this paper, we propose an analysis method that categorizes the Core that essential behaviors in game, the Primary that solves the game problem, and the Secondary that helps the Core and the Primary. The proposed method can analyze the genre similarity and characteristics of the game, the richness of the content, and the proficiency level of the game. case study were conducted to confirm whether the analysis items were consistent with the objective game experience. The results of this study are expected to be helpful in improving game design ability.
