The best games are the ones with an interesting setting, characters, and narrative that keeps me thinking about it long after the game. I'm sorry, but I don't really give a fuck how "fun" a game is mechanically, because that shit is always going to be more boring then hanging out with friends, working out, athletics, etc. Because of that, a game that focuses on being fun with its mechanics, is always going to take a back seat for me in life and in memory. Games that make me think however, stories and characters that fascinate me and make me want to make me learn more about them, that's the kind of shit that makes me text "I'm busy" to invites, or skip out on a workout. Of course, it's important that the game is fun and the graphics are good enough to facilitate my enjoyment of the story, but those are just there to facilitate the story.
Even in Underrail, a game I love and one that nails the combat, I'd often try to avoid it and was focused on advancing the story/quest. Yeah, it's satisfying when you finally beat that tough encounter, but it was always just something that I had to do so I could advance the story.
Call me a story fag, I don't give a fuck.
