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?

It has to be $10 or less in my local currency (~USD$6).

That makes the list much shorter, so from there I'm usually happy with my purchase. If I end up spending 5 hours on the game then I've won out better than going to see a movie.

I used to be a freebie gamer. At some point I realized the quality of free games are dwindling, and so I tried to finally purchase games.

Because I'm very aware that my financial status isn't that great, I usually spend way more time with these paid games.
