Digital game-based learning has emerged as a powerful pedagogical approach to enhancing intrinsic motivation and academic achievement among senior high school students. This systematic literature review reveals that game mechanics such as progressive challenges, immediate feedback, and narrative immersion significantly strengthen students’ internal motivation to learn. Cognitive and emotional engagement serves as a critical mediator between gameplay experiences and improved academic outcomes, particularly in STEM-related subjects. The effectiveness of implementation is highly dependent on curriculum integration, pedagogical design, and technological accessibility. While contextual barriers such as digital divide and teacher readiness remain, evidence supports the transformative potential of game-based learning in creating more engaging, student-centered learning environments. When thoughtfully designed, digital games not only increase motivation but also foster deeper learning and knowledge retention, making them valuable tools for 21st-century education.
