Well it maybe is technically correct to call many games with level-up progression incremental, but it is not what the term means.
In essence it means cookie clicker-likes or games more akin to that experience. They’re “incremental” because in all of them the main end goal is to make some number bigger in an incremental (comically repeated action, ie “clicking cookie” or “producing paper clips” etc).

I disagree, A it’s a mechanic in most incremental games, and the sidebar of their community defines that as what makes it incremental.
Ah that makes sense. Thanks
