How do you pick your games?

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?

Good story, good graphics, good audio, has to run at 60fps with a decent resolution on PS5.

At moment : price and steamdeck compatibility.

Mainly rogue-lites, fps and plateformers as of late.

Figuring out northstar to get some titanfall2 going :)

Having a blast on tmnt and midnight fight express.

As a fan of FPS games, I prefer games which have a very high amount of depth and complexity either in terms of movement or shooting. That’s the reason why I’m not a fan of arcade shooters like COD or Halo.

Mod support is also a decisive factor for me.

But I play Halo specifically for the complexity of movement. Because there are so many slow projectiles dodging becomes a possibility. And the grenades make it even more complex. Seems like kendo to me. Always meeting an opponent, tackling the same basic patterns in endless variations, the whole battle over in a couple seconds. It’s a deep game.

When I mean movement complexity I refer to arena shooter level of complexity and no, Halo is not an arena shooter.

I’m assuming you’ve tried titanfall 2? probably my favourite movement fps

I like eye candy 😏🍺

I also like defeating a Big Eldrich Bad, and a touch of exploration and discovery. Controls can be complex but they have to be intuitive and not rely on real-time battle, or just be manageable.

My favorite games ever are the Final Fantasy series, esp. VII. Also liked Legacy of Kain, Castlevania I and II, and the earliest Tomb Raider games.

Loved Lord of the Rings Online, Aion, exploring in WoW but my bandwidth won't support MMOs anymore.

A game with decent story and decent art, not too complex control

I try every series at least once, usually by getting them from a local library. If it sticks, I stick with it.

Typically games that let me be the killin’-est magic man or woman I can be. Making tornadoes, ice spikes, and raining meteors in Dragons Dogma is amazing. Calling down space lazers or being gerbil Emporer Palpatine in Biomutant was fun. Painting the screen blue with lightning in Diablo 4 was a good time, and painting the screen red with lazers in Diablo 3 is fun. Skyrim, I have played to death being as magical as I could be. Dragon Age: Inquisition kind of bummed me out with how strong Knight Enchanter was compared to the others, woo a ghost sword I guess.
