<upd_detl>As can be seen from the hatena explanation, the term is rather vague.</upd_detl>

"主にビデオゲーム雑誌やゲームファンの間で日常的に使われる言葉だが、その定義ははっきりしない。一言で言うとすれば「そのゲームならではのおもしろさや醍醐味」程度の意味とでもいったらよいだろうか。"

<upd_detl>I think this is better. "playability" is also a famously vague term.
We usually do adj-no for ～性, no?</upd_detl>

過去の遺産や、ゲーム性のな い作品が多い。 report.cesa.or.jp
There are a lot of legacies from the past and games with no playability. 
PS3等のグラフィック重視よりも、Wii等 の ゲーム性 重 視 の方が個人的には好き。 report.cesa.or.jp
Personally, I like consoles such as Wii that focus on playability more than consoles such as PS3 that emphasize graphics.</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>"gamelike-ness" gets two Googits, both for the same quotation. We should be using real terms as glosses.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I would translate that as "add/increase playability". But it doesn't hurt to have another gloss.
I don't think this is [adj-no]. We only have it on certain ~性 words (e.g. 可燃性). You can't say "ゲーム性の" to mean "playable".
Not really [col] either.</upd_detl>
