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.
Thrill Seeker
You tend to have more fun engaging with the low–pressure, low–stakes aspect of the game. You prefer to explore, dive into the story, or just mess around, but, every so often, you'll test your skills in the arena, just to prove that you've got the chops to win.
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.
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
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.
Bunker Buster
You get the most enjoyment out of a game when it asks you to think outside the box. Hard work comes with the territory, but it’s always worth it in the end when you take everything a game has to offer and don't bend an inch.
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.
Gadgeteer
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.
Schemer Streamer
You are careful and fastidious in every game you play. Think first, act second, win third. Maybe some of your plans come together on the fly, but you prefer to pick your battles cautiously and plan from afar before acting.
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.
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
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.
