Hi,

My game got rejected because of the following:

Guideline 4.2 - Design - Minimum Functionality Your app provides a limited user experience as it is not sufficiently different from a mobile browsing experience. As such, the experience it provides is similar to the general experience of using Safari. Including iOS features such as push notifications, Core Location, and sharing do not provide a robust enough experience to be appropriate for the App Store. To resolve this issue, please revise your app to provide a more robust user experience by including additional native iOS functionality.

Could this be resolved by implementing Game Center features like leaderboards, achievements etc?

Any feedback appreciated. Thanks Kyle

It is impossible to tell for sure what will be enough.

leaderboards, achievements

That's a good start, but probably not enough. You have to find things that are not available on browser.

It depends on the type of game you have.

Could be :

advanced animations
machine learning (to provide users with advices to play better)
use of camera for immersive game (depends on you game of course) or recognition of real world objects or to read text…
VR capability
…

Usually, use of the camera is appreciated by reviewer.

Good luck.
