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?

    I don’t game much but the games I gravitate toward are ones where I’m the only character (& maybe with an antagonist narrator) and I have to escape a certain place. This includes Portal, Portal 2, The Stanley Parable, and Superliminal.

    Even though the most recent game I’ve bought, Detroit: Become Human, has many characters and interactions between them, I liked the storytelling, cinematic aspect. Plus both Detroit and The Stanley Parable have multiple possible endings depending on the decisions made during the game.
