English term

nonlinear play

GBK English to French Tech/Engineering Gaming/Video-games/E-sports
Definition from What Games Are:
Nonlinear play is the middle ground between linear and sandbox play. It may be somewhat restricted, such as by geography or tests, but allows for a significant amount of player choice in how it is played. Nonlinear games often use combinations of levels and spaces for their geography. The term is commonly used informally to describe games which have high optimality.
Example sentences:
