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?

I like games about descending further and further into the earth. That's why my favorite Elder Scrolls is Morrowind and my favorite Fallout is 3. That's why World Adventures is the best expansion for any Sims base game, that is why I love roguelikes, that is why I've been playing Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft for a decade and a half and will probably never stop.

You might like the original Torchlight as a laid-back Diablo style game. The entire game takes place in a town with a mine and that mine is the dungeon you go down all game long

Oh I played it at release and still go back every couple years for a replay.

Hollow knight is a good one for that
