Hey! Are you wondering how to choose a game for yourself? There are so many games out there with so many different genres and difficulty levels, so I understand it can get a little too much. But don’t worry, this guide will give you thorough ideas on how to choose the perfect game for yourself so you can have a memorable gaming experience!
1. Pick your Favorite Genre
The most important factor is the genre. Game genres include horror, fantasy, RPG, sports, etc. You can consider your top favorite and choose the game according to your preference or what gives you the biggest thrill. If you haven’t played many games and have trouble deciding on the genre, then analyze your favorite movie genre, and it’s likely you will enjoy a game from a similar category. If you enjoy action, then go for shooter games or fighting games, and if you like meaningful stories and adventures, then pick an RPG or a strategy game.
2. Analyse your Platform
The next important thing is your platform. Platforms mainly include PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. You will have to make sure the game you pick is compatible with your gaming platform, for example, Until Dawn is available for PlayStation 5 and PC, and Kill Knight is available for PC, Switch, Xbox X/S, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. In this manner, your game will be guaranteed to run smoothly on your device, ensuring you have the correct system requirements. System Requirements include the suitable Operating System, Processor, Graphics Card, and so on.
3. Select Difficulty Level
Do not ignore the difficulty level of the game. Some games are highly challenging and test your patience. Not making it through levels of such games can be very annoying and demotivating. If you are a beginner, then go for easier games like Ravenswatch or The Patrick Star Game, and if you are smarter than that, then Until Dawn or GreedFall 2 are great enough. Being a beginner myself, I went for simpler games, and then proceeded to higher level games.
4. Gameplay and Storyline
Personally, I love games with meaningful storylines, where the plot actually progresses and fulfills a destiny. Having a goal in the game gives you the motive to connect with the story and game better, and complete all the levels vigorously. Also, check the gameplay for sure. It shows how a game functions, the controls, and overall energy. The game can be fast-paced or slower, and that can be a big deal for any gamer. Check the combat mechanics, plot, and more.
5. Check Reviews
Another key factor is checking the reviews of the game you have picked, as you need to be sure if it’s worth playing. These reviews are from enthusiastic gamers who have had a firsthand experience of the game and can guide you well about its gameplay, mechanics and more. You can check the reviews on Driffle’s blog site, Steam, or the game’s official website, and see what others think. You can choose to play the game based on the positive or negative reviews, and if the reviews are mixed, then take a leap of faith!
6. Watch YouTube Videos
Make sure to check out the YouTube videos of that particular game you have chosen. You will find plenty of content on gameplay, graphics, characters and more on different channels. If you like everything about that game, then go for it! It’s a great way to ensure the game fits your style and vibe before making the purchase.
7. Time Commitment
You should also analyze your schedule and consider how much time you can give to gaming. Based on that, you can pick Until Dawn as it requires longer hours and is very addictive, so you would dedicate more time to it. Otherwise, you can go for Ravenswatch, which would engage you in shorter sessions and require less of your time.
8. Single-Player or Multiplayer
Another thing you should keep in mind is if you enjoy single-player or multiplayer games. If you like playing alone, then go for a single-player like GreedFall 2 or Frostpunk 2. If you want to have a blast with your buddies, then opt for DRAGON BALL: Sparking! Zero or EA Sports FC 25. If you think you would love both, then enjoying either would be a fabulous idea.
9. Graphics and Aesthetics
Graphics and Visuals also play a great role in picking a game. The graphics of the game can be fully realistic, like in GreedFall 2, pixelated, like in Victory Heat Rally, or retro, like in Kill Knight. You can pick the game based on your choice of graphics and aesthetics. If you like cartoonish games, then go for The Patrick Star Game, or else God of War: Ragnarok will be a bomb. Generally, every gamer picks HD graphics and visuals so they can actually live in the game.
Summary
To all gamers out there, ‘You got this!’ Mostly, all games are fun, and you will enjoy them completely. But if not, you can always skip them and move on to another. Experimentation is important as a dedicated gamer, and so are the other factors I mentioned. If you’re wondering how to choose a game for yourself, then follow this guide, and you will surely end up with the games you will love for eternity!
