How do you pick your games? (lemmy.world)

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?

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.
