There is a lot of different kind of games which creates many different ways to balance the difficulty of games. This study will look at if damage output from a player is a good variable to scale in order to create a better balance and make the game feel more rewarding overall, based on that a game would be enjoyable if a player feels that it is rewarding to play the game. By letting both inexperienced and avid players test a part of a game with different settings for the damage output to see if the players finds the game to be more rewarding if the difficulty is set to a higher setting (lower damage output). The conclusion is that it is that damage output cannot directly affect how overall rewarding a player finds the game, but can affect other variables that in turn make the game feel more rewarding.
