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?

But I play Halo specifically for the complexity of movement. Because there are so many slow projectiles dodging becomes a possibility. And the grenades make it even more complex. Seems like kendo to me. Always meeting an opponent, tackling the same basic patterns in endless variations, the whole battle over in a couple seconds. It’s a deep game.

When I mean movement complexity I refer to arena shooter level of complexity and no, Halo is not an arena shooter.
