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?

At moment : price and steamdeck compatibility.

Mainly rogue-lites, fps and plateformers as of late.

Figuring out northstar to get some titanfall2 going :)

Having a blast on tmnt and midnight fight express.

As a fan of FPS games, I prefer games which have a very high amount of depth and complexity either in terms of movement or shooting. That's the reason why I'm not a fan of arcade shooters like COD or Halo.

Mod support is also a decisive factor for me.

I tend to play a lot of problem solving games over just pure skill/luck, i also prefer ones with great sound/music

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.

A game with decent story and decent art, not too complex control

Hey OP based on your description, I think you'd love Kena, Bridge of Spirits. It's very colorful and cutesy with Pixar style graphics and dark souls style combat and difficulty (it's seriously tough as nails in some parts).

I am someone who likes to solve problems, so strategy / management games tend to be my preferred. For instance I recently did a run of Factorio with no belts.

I also like trying new things even if failure is an option, in fact failure should be expected if you’re trying hard enough. So KSP is another one of my favorites.

Is it open source and in my Linux distro’s repo?

[–] BorgDrone@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago

Good story, good graphics, good audio, has to run at 60fps with a decent resolution on PS5.
