Pelinkulkuun

Pelinkulkuun is a Finnish term that translates to "playthrough" or "game progression" in English, particularly in the context of video games. It refers to the entire experience of playing through a game from start to finish, encompassing the player's journey, decisions, and the sequence of events that unfold. This term is commonly used by gamers when discussing their experiences, strategies, or the overall narrative arc of a game.

A pelinkulkuun can be influenced by various factors, including the player's skill level, chosen difficulty, and specific playstyle. Some players might aim for a "100%" pelinkulkuun, meaning they complete every objective, find all collectibles, and achieve all possible outcomes. Others might focus on speedrunning, aiming to complete the game as quickly as possible, which constitutes a very different kind of pelinkulkuun.

Discussions about pelinkulkuun often involve sharing walkthroughs, tips, and tricks to help other players navigate challenges or discover hidden content. It can also refer to the act of watching someone else play a game, such as through live streams or recorded videos, where viewers follow the streamer's or creator's pelinkulkuun. The concept emphasizes the sequential nature of gameplay and the player's active participation in the unfolding story or challenges presented by the game.
