I had a moment to think about why I like certain games, and I have figured out some criteria for myself,

  1. Vibrant colours
  2. Simple/Cartoon-ish looks
  3. Mid/High level of complexity in mechanics

That’s why my current favourite game is Splatoon 3, followed by Minecraft, and the list consists mostly of Nintendo games.

What’s your criteria?

    The first thing I check for is if a game is Terraria. If it isn’t, I play Terraria instead.

    All kidding aside, I tend to enjoy games that involve exploration, character development, and pleasent visuals. Good sound design is also a must, and I prefer games to be at least somewhat action oriented.

    None of these things are hard and fast rules for me, of course. I like a lot of different games.

      I just realized sound design is probably also an important thing for me. A lot of the games I like also have great soundtracks.
