Profile Details

Each profile type consists of 7 different criteria, each with 2 opposite traits. Everyone is unique and will possess tendencies towards all traits, but will often be more inclined towards one over the other.

In some instances, a player will enjoy both traits equally and be considered balanced on that criterion.

Competitive
This criterion reflects the level of importance that winning is to our enjoyment. Those who simply love the experience of playing are For Fun and those who seek the thrill of winning are For Glory.

For Glory
You love the competitive nature of video games. When you come home after a long day, nothing hits the spot quite like a death match. You'll still dabble in the campaign, but your eye is always drawn to that multiplayer option on the main menu.
Players
This criterion demonstrates our preferences for playing with others. Those who enjoy taking in all a game has to offer by themselves are Solo and those who love the experience of interacting with others are Multiplayer.

Multiplayer
You appreciate a good single–player game, but playing with others is where you find yourself more often than not. Whether it's hanging out with friends online or crashing castles together on the couch, an invite received is an invite accepted.
Challenge
This criterion underpins our desire for difficulty, or lack thereof. Those who play for the experience, not the frustration, are on the Easy spectrum and those who always take the road least traveled will be on the Hard side.

Difficult
You enjoy the lighter, more relaxing aspects of a game, but you want them to push you a little bit. It’s not worth throwing your controller over, but when faced with a challenge, you crack the smallest of smiles and get to work.
Creativity
This criterion illustrates how we progress. Those who forge ahead with purpose and direction are Practical while those who wander and find their own objective are Experimental.

Experimental
For you, a game is at its best when you have the power to make your own decisions and craft your own solutions. Your perfect game blends a well–designed campaign with a vast array of customization tools, side quests, and modes that really let you spread your wings.
Strategy
This criterion determines how we approach a situation. Those who carefully gauge the situation before acting are more Planning oriented while those who react and adjust on the fly are more Spontaneous.

Spontaneous
You like to strategize and plan ahead almost as much as you love to dive in and think on your feet. Races are won on the racetrack, not in the conference room. So while there is definitely a plan of action in your head, you trust your instincts to guide you once the boots are on the ground.
Immersion
This criterion depicts what aspects of a game we are absorbed by most. Those who sink into the feel and flow of the gameplay are Mechanic–focused and those who are swept away by the world and its characters are Story–focused.

Story
For you, it's the literal tactile feel that the gameplay has to offer. Diving into the mechanics. Mastering the crafting system. It's like a physical activity for you.

You are 100% engaged in the way the game is played. You're a crafting legend, a combo connoisseur. You're superb at tapping "A" really, really fast. You live to execute that perfect parry. For you, a game offers so much more than its story, and you can't wait to discover what that is. You're not here to watch—you're here to make stuff happen!

Pace
This criterion shows how we prefer engaging with our games. Those who savor the moment and take their time are on the Slow side and those who want to progress and make decisions are Fast.

Fast
You appreciate games that have a nice wintry mix of slow and fast paced moments. Both styles of gameplay have their merits. But when it comes down to it there's nothing better than firing up a game that forces you to act and move, not stop and think.
