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![](https://critrate.io/wp-content/themes/crit_rate/img/information_icon.svg)
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.
Approaching Challenger
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![](https://critrate.io/wp-content/themes/crit_rate/img/information_icon.svg)
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.
Party Starter
You've got a healthy friendslist and you're all about the shared experience. While you appreciate what solo games have to offer, playing with others is just... better! Whether you're trying to compete in a few online matches or shooting the breeze with some friends, it's a party either way and you're sending the invites.
Challenge![](https://critrate.io/wp-content/themes/crit_rate/img/information_icon.svg)
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.
Case Cracker
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![](https://critrate.io/wp-content/themes/crit_rate/img/information_icon.svg)
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.
Roam Rider
While you love being led down a path set by the creative minds of the developers, your mouth still waters when a game offers a breadth of experiences or mechanics that send you off the beaten path. Different game modes? Deep skill tree? Eyebrow customization?! Tell me more!
Strategy![](https://critrate.io/wp-content/themes/crit_rate/img/information_icon.svg)
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.
Shot Caller
You're the on–field battle commander, the quarterback of your team. You have excellent strategic insights and usually know your next move, but you're also adaptable. You’re good at thinking on your feet when the situation calls for it. This makes you an effective and dangerous opponent.
Immersion![](https://critrate.io/wp-content/themes/crit_rate/img/information_icon.svg)
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.
Rhythm Wizard
You have a soft spot for an engaging story, but the enjoyment you get from pure gameplay trumps all. You're all about crafting a legendary sword that needs 99 beaver pelts, nailing that expert guitar solo, and building the biggest freaking castle in the world (with a working drawbridge). You have unlimited passion for everything that a game lets you do.
Pace![](https://critrate.io/wp-content/themes/crit_rate/img/information_icon.svg)
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.
Playmaker
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.
