What is a good game?
It´s interesting that people don´t always have the same arguments for a game when they consider it a good game. For example some people think that good graphics make a game good while others find the story more important, then there are people that value gameplay above everything else and will hate games that are difficult to control no matter how pretty they look. But what is a good game?
There is no one type of good game?
I don´t think so, because that means we all believe that graphics are important or we all believe that the story is the most important part of a game. We don´t all have the same reason why we like a game or dislike a game. So calling one game better than the others is an opinion and nothing more, it´s not a fact and even if that game sells more copies than any other game it doesn´t mean that game is better! Because we don´t all like the same type of games, which means that there will be games that aren´t popular but can still be a lot of fun to play.
Popular games aren´t always the best games?
Absolutely not! Oh sure some fan boys or girls will scream the loudest in the comments but that doesn´t mean that they´re right. Sometimes a less popular game can surprise you and it can be a lot of fun playing that game. It´s easy to step on the hype train and follow the rest of the screamers, but you can also find games on your own and see what you really like. This can sometimes be a gamble, but that doesn´t mean it´s a bad idea. You can try to get as much information about a game and if possible play a demo to figure out if you´re interested in buying that game. That doesn´t mean that popular games are crap, sometimes they´re a lot of fun to play but not every game is as great as the whole marketing show likes to let you believe!
So what is a good game?
I think that this is something only you can answer for yourself. What type of games do you like? What do you think is important and should be in a game? These are questions that will determine what you consider as a good game. It probably won´t surprise you that people don´t always give the same answers on these questions, but that´s a good things because if we all like the same stuff the world would be boring! Diversity is a good thing and nobody forces you to like anything, make up your own mind and buy what you like and what you think is a good game. Wether that´s because of good graphics, a well written story or amazing gameplay. You decide, you know what you like and what you consider a good game.
