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?

makes sense, Nintendo makes consistently fantastic games. even their less than good ones are often times better than most other companies. I cannot describe my process for picking games other than watching gameplay videos and seeing if it looks fun to me.

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

Based on your criteria, you should play Life is Strange series. Particularly, Life is Strange True Colors. Story is different in every game.

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).

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.

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