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.
Keen Contender
You enjoy dominating an online game as much as the next player (maybe a little more), but it's tempered by a love of what the rest of the game has to offer, like the campaign and the story. When you need a breather from an intense multiplayer brawl, you'll gravitate toward the more chill aspects of the game.
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.
Proud Recluse
Game time is your time. You like your friends well enough, but you see games as a personal experience. You will not negotiate otherwise. All you want to do after a long day is shut the door, mute your phone, and fire up your favorite single–player game. This is your happy place.
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.
Smooth Sailor
You'll rise up to meet the occasional challenge, but you’re not exactly kicking hornets nests either. "Try, try again" is not your favorite motto. There's so much more to gaming than a sense of frustration, and you're determined to find it.
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.
Astral Planner
Some call you the General, the Mastermind, the Invisible Hand. Are you evil? No one knows. But you’re always thinking ahead in every game you play. Your hands are a blur across the keyboard as you command an entire battlefield. You can see it all and you will never be caught unprepared.
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.
Saga Soldier
Games get their hooks in you by having both a gripping story and satisfying gameplay. That said, you couldn't quite live without one or the other. Entirely plot–driven games can wear on you and purely gameplay–oriented ones leave you itching for a story to connect with. Whether you're enjoying the smooth combat of a fighting game or watching the plot thicken in a detailed cutscene, you’re glued to the screen.
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.
Rose Smeller
For you, gaming is all about savoring the moment. You love to sit back, take your time, and soak it all in. It's like drinking fine wine. You want no part of those games that push you from decision to decision and force you to act. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
