Checkpoint is a saved game progress point where players can restart after losing or exiting.

Checkpoint is a specific location within a game where progress is saved. It allows players to resume from this point after failure or exiting the game, without needing to restart from the beginning. Checkpoints offer a safety net, helping players manage difficult sections by providing a nearby restart option. This mechanic enhances user experience by reducing frustration and encouraging exploration, as players know they won’t lose all progress. Checkpoints vary in frequency and placement, impacting the game's difficulty and flow. They are essential in maintaining player engagement and motivation.
