While some games "gamify" their game with gold stars and rewards for completing objectives, others focus on mastery loops. Mastery loops provide a deeper feeling of reward (think trackmania, nioh, counterstrike, streetfighter). This is a game all about the mastery loop. And the reason you see people with thousands of hours of playtime on steam is because it's an excellent loop. I love this type of game and what it gives back to me. I don't need a gold star to drive me forwards, and i don't need instant gratification. I'm 40 hours in and constantly learning and improving. It's almost a hobby now. This isn't a game for those that don't a shallow experience. This is for those that want to commit to something that gives back (as skater does in spades).
