I'd say it, "a game has to tell you how the present situation resolves or what the new situation is, same thing either way."
You can push and pull what the process is like, what details it provides and leaves blank, what it abstracts and what it makes concrete, absolutely. To your taste! You can say that you're looking at situation-as-such instead of at conflict if you want, too - but that's just saying so. There's not really an "instead."
