Meat - Games

In gaming, 'meat' often represents visceral core mechanics or raw content that drives player engagement. It can symbolize the brutal physicality of combat systems, where health bars literally depict flesh and survival. In survival genres, meat becomes a primal resource for sustenance, tying progression directly to hunting and butchery. The term also metaphorically describes substantial gameplay elements—the 'meaty' parts of a game that offer depth and challenge, as opposed to superficial features. From grotesque body horror to the tangible rewards of crafting systems, meat grounds virtual experiences in tangible, often gory, reality.
