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?
It’s not even that hard honestly. Like I would pay good money for new levels of games I already have. It’s got to be cheaper to simply use the same everything except for map, than to build a new game. I’d spend so much money, ongoing, for new battlefield maps for example.
I don’t care about new game mechanics at all. I just want new places. New buildings. New variations on the same theme.
If one video game were one instrument, I just want more piano music. I could spend a lifetime enjoying more and more piano music and it would never get old as long as the actual sequence of notes changes.
