All aspects of a game appeal to you. Exploring a game world for hours? Aw yeah! Charging into battle online? Heck yes. Getting emotionally invested in the story? You know it! For you, it's all about what you're in the mood for and who's knocking on your door to come out and play.

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.

A sprinkle of difficulty and a pinch of challenge is exactly your sweet spot. You definitely don't want victory handed to you, but your level of fun is likely to suffer after a few unsuccessful attempts on the same level or boss fight. Game time is meant to escape stress, not add to it.

You want games to be straightforward and demonstrate their vision clearly. However, you'll sometimes lose track of time messing around with things like customization tools, hollowing out a mountain in Minecraft, or drafting a new team in Madden.

You enjoy the chaos of the battlefield. Shoot first, ask questions later. Maybe you strategize your moves on the field, but you rely more on your instincts when push comes to shove. You aren’t the one waiting for the door to be kicked in—you’re the one kicking down doors.

You still like to sink your teeth into all the features a game has to offer, but it’s solid plot and compelling characters that really scratch that itch. You live and breathe the story and the world you're tossed into and sometimes you’ll even catch yourself creating your own backstories for characters who don’t have one. Video games are a storytelling medium after all, and that's what you connect with.

You tend to drift toward games with a slower pace, like sprawling open world games or smaller simulations. You play those fast–paced shooters and platformers occasionally, but there's a special place in your heart for games that let you savor the moment.
