I've been thinking long and hard about this topic. It relates not only to games, but to film, literature, and all other aspects of life. Currently in my early 20s, I'm coming into what it means to have something that's favorite or special, essentially a style if you will. For games, I've realized that the types/genres I like tend to be 3rd-Person Survival Horror / Action, Fighting Games, and Strategy, with a dash of platformer on the side. No longer do I thrill for games that are FPS's, sandboxes, or party simulators like I did in my early teens. Almost as if a maturing process has been happening as I advance in my gaming history. I've made a list of some things that I look for in a game, and here they are:
- replayability
- character design
- art style
- game mechanics
- lore
- pricing
- reception since creation
- company values
- good user interface
- coherent storyline
- mods and multiplayer as a bonus
