Video games are just as great for arguing as any other topic where personal taste plays a major role, because the perfect game looks a little different for everyone. Some think of Baldur’s Gate, others of Red Dead Redemption 2 and others still shed a tear that there was never a third part of the Lego island.
Whether you think a game is good or bad mostly depends on what things in the game are important to you. Be it modern graphics, innovative gameplay or a story so gripping that you will root for your heroes with every new development.
Sure, at best, a good game has top marks in every single category and is flawless. But since that usually doesn’t happen very often, we’d like to know from you what the most important criterion for a video game is for you. Or to put it another way: Which aspect do you value most?
Take part in our survey
Can you forgive monotonous gameplay if the graphics are right? Or look past rough edges and wooden faces when the story appeals to you? What is the most important element in a game for you? This is what we want to find out with our survey:
We know that the survey is of course not entirely clear and voting may be difficult. After all, a good story comes into its own more when the exterior looks good, and depending on the genre, different aspects are more or less important. Therefore, the survey is more of a first clue than a final answer.
We therefore ask you, for you in general main Choose what you pay most attention to when buying new games. What other things you value, you can explain to us in detail in the comments. Feel free to also write down a few positive examples so that you can give your fellow readers a few suitable recommendations.
Otherwise, as usual, we look forward to a lively participation and hope that you will have to ponder the question as long as we do.
