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?

Can be a combination of certain traits:
- The game is a complex AND continuous/incremental puzzle;
- Doesn’t have a boring/idle part;
- Emulates real world. (optional);
- Player can produce creative output. (optional).
Games that I like: SimCity4 (2003), Europa Universalis 4 (2010s), Touhou series (1997-now), Taisei (2012-now), Minetest and many Tycoon games that used to be popular in 2000s.
Programming and math satisfies all 4 traits :) When I started programming 10 years ago, I became less interested in games.
