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?

Generally it's down to genre and mechanics. I obviously have my preferences so I'll always keep a lookout on those that interest me. As well as avoid those I don't.

I generally don't have a preference for art style (I appreciate a wide variety of them), though I confess, I am getting a little tired of pixel-art games.

I feel the same towards the pixel-art games, but I understand that they are one of the easiest ways for devs to put their cool ideas into a game very quickly.

I know, that's why I don't begrudge them, but at the same time, I do feel a little weary on the inside when I see another interesting game that's pixel art. xD
