How many deaths hit a player who was healthy a moment ago?
A death out of nowhere feels unfair and gets blamed on the game, not on the player. This entry shows how to tell sudden deaths from the slow, understandable kind in your log, even when the health notes are sparse.
Why this works
A death feels fair when the player could see it coming and react. Looking at health just before a short window tells you whether they had a chance, and a reading too old to trust is honestly set aside.
When not to use it
Skip it in games that are built around sudden danger, such as a horror game with a lurking killer, where the shock is the point. There, tune how often and how well it is telegraphed instead of removing it.
