Playtesting

Players play your game while you watch: is it fun, where do they get stuck or quit, are the rules clear.

Unlike usability testing: measures enjoyment of the game, not interface ease of use.

Questions and answers

Which tools run unmoderated usability tests with AI analysis?

Unmoderated testing platforms send your site or prototype link with tasks to participants, record their screens and use AI to pull out findings; always check AI output. In Userbrain, panel testers record video walkthroughs while AI highlights key moments and answers questions about the tests. Maze runs prototype tests and AI-moderated interviews and has an official MCP server for Claude. UXtweak offers a free plan. Loop11 can send AI agents through your site instead of human participants.

What are free heatmap and session recording tools for websites?

Microsoft Clarity is free: it records sessions, builds click and scroll heatmaps, and its AI summarizes what visitors did. In the catalog, most behavior analytics tools have a free plan. Contentsquare (formerly Hotjar) has a free plan and AI that answers questions about behavior data; always check AI output. FullStory has a free plan with a monthly session limit. UXSniff flags rage clicks and exits automatically. Clarity, Contentsquare and FullStory connect to Claude via official MCP servers.

How can AI analyze customer reviews and feedback at scale?

AI feedback tools group reviews and open-ended answers into themes and score sentiment, so you see what customers complain about most; always check AI output. Caplena imports reviews from Trustpilot, Google or Qualtrics and shows theme frequencies on a dashboard. Cynthia lets you ask in plain language, for example “what do people complain about most?”. Dovetail has a free plan and an official MCP server for Claude. Survicate builds surveys and categorizes answers by theme and sentiment.

Can you run eye tracking with a webcam instead of a lab?

Yes: participants take the test at home, and the tool uses their webcam to estimate where they look and to read facial emotions. RealEye takes an image, video or website link and returns gaze heatmaps. Entropik also analyzes voice and has a free plan. Emotiva shows an ad to a panel of viewers and measures attention and emotions within a day or two. With no participants at all, Neurons and Clueify predict attention heatmaps from the design itself.

How do I run remote playtests for my game?

Use a playtesting platform that recruits players, records gameplay and collects their feedback. Antidote records gameplay with players' spoken commentary, runs post-session surveys and uses AI to turn the data into insights and sentiment (always check AI output). Game Tester recruits from a large international pool of players on PC, Android, iOS and VR, and has a free plan. Go Testify lets you invite your own community, watch sessions live and analyze recordings with AI; it also has a free plan.
