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’d say i choose the almost all games i play based off of one or more of these questions:

    • is there automation in the game? (i.e factorio)
    • is the game largely mechanics-driven?
    • how much room is there for skill expression?
    • does the speedrun look fun?

    other than those, i pretty much only play co-op party games with friends and ~1 rpg every couple years. right now i’m playing fortune’s run, an imm sim i’ve been looking forward to since the last steam next fest - very fun so far.
