The whole is much more than the sum of its part?

What does that even mean? xD

Hmm, I thought it was a common phrase in English too. Anyway, what I mean is that what's important isn't only individual features but also how different parts of a game interact which each other. This is especially visible in many open world games, where there's a ton of features but they have very little interaction with each other, leaving the game to feel like a set of distinct features instead of a whole. In other words, a lot of open world games miss the forest for the trees.

It is common.  The concept of synergy is used in a lot of places, from businesses to sports teams.
