There's a lot of great games out there that just don't work for me.

Peoples' taste is a funny thing.

I like customization A LOT in my games. It's a stupid thing, but while I play male and female protagonists (and ridiculous things like male draenei ), I just don't seem to get into a game unless I can make my character MINE in appearance. S'part of the reason why I'm quite partial to XCOM2. I can roll up with a pretty idiosyncratic squad. And I've played some games with fixed protagonists, but they're play once and put down, as a rule.

I like "fun" combat, which is one of those things that's really hard to define. I will admit my definition of fun leans heavily on very busy, fast paced combat. So I will honestly forgive Andromeda a lot just for the sheer, visceral joy of vanguard charging an architect. 

I like strongly written games, but if they're too serious or lean overly heavily on one aspect, I usually get bored.

And I am absolutely a sucker for "Protagonist and the band of heroes", whether the heroes are the idiots* in your battleground or your loyal squadmates/minions. I HATE playing broody lonely heroes, which is odd, because I quite like them in fiction.

Tastes are dumb. Especially mine.

*Lovely people, actually
