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

Vibrant colours
Simple/Cartoon-ish looks
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?

My mood.

Do I need to shoot some stuff or do I want to chill and grow crops or something? Technical specs aren’t really that important as long as it doesn’t make me sick. That being said, I do enjoy seeing realistic and beautiful detail in games.

I dislike difficulty that borders on punishment and games that think they’re scary (yawn).
