Are you a person that tries only known titles or you just play any game you're intrested in and give it a chance?

I will play any game that looks interesting regardless if it is a known IP, popular, or if it got good reviews or not. Ultimately, each person knows what they like to play better than anyone else.

If it looks interesting to me, I will play it, regardless of what anyone thinks. I don't usually follow anyone else or trends for that matter. It doesn't mean I don't like some popular or hyped games though.

Any game that looks interesting I guess although there’s a ton of known games and IP’s that I love so it’s difficult to really try much in the lesser known category.

Any game. I won't spend money on something with bad reviews, but I have no qualms trying new and different genres/games.

Always just played whatever interests me, end up finding a lot of gems that way. As far back as the NES, have those relatively unknown titles that I greatly enjoyed.

Think it's especially important to be that way these days given how the industry curates the latest games. Heavily guided by marketing $$$ above all other criteria. Maybe a lesser known title gets exposure from some streamer/youtuber which is nice. Then sites like these scramble to catch up lol.

But if you stick with the very predictable flavor of the month, miss out on some really cool games.

I pretty much only play independent and smaller titles these days. Relatively unknown by the folks that play COD, Madden, whatever "soulsborne" type game is popular, and mainstream stuff like that.

I will dabble with AAA, but it's a hard sell for me to really enjoy a major title these days. They're so, so, so disappointing.

Also my tastes have changed, and AAA studios just don't really make the games I'm interested in. Let me know when EA makes a good SimCity game or Ubisoft makes a cool sandboxy factory-building game, then I might be interested.

If I am interested, I play. Most of the popular games have a tendency to under deliver.

I will try out any game that I have a strong interest, even if I have never heard of it before. Whether a game is popular or scored well by reviewers or gamers, my interest in a game is not affected by those factors.

However, since gaming now takes less importance to other things in my life, I would more likely play two to three games a year.

I started going down an indie rabbit hole after I played Hades...not that I think that game is obscure by any means. But, it definitely affected the kinds of games that I play and what I'm looking for in a satisfying gaming experience.

I still play big titles, but I'm much pickier with the ones I do play.

I'm a PC gamer, an enthusiast gamer, so obviously the answer is...Any game interest!

I'll definitely try whatever looks interesting, especially if its on Gamepass.

I only play games that are heavily marketed (50M+ in marketing budget), and extremely spammed across all social medias. This is what i believe every real gamer should be doing instead of playing niche shovelware from steam, which is all Maroxad does as of late.

l’ve definitely found my niche in gaming and stuck with that formula. Competitive, time/score attack games. BRs. Music/rhythm games and whatever TFT is (for some reason. I still don’t know why I like that game) And anything with Mario or Sonic in it.

I tend to be pretty open minded. I'll give many IPs and game types a shot. I found some nice gems that way and have also been disappointed but, sure, keeps it interesting.

I'll play just about anything at least once.

I play whatever looks cool to me. Right now I'm playing Forager; it's a simulation game like Harvest Moon or Story of Seasons. It's an indie game, so there is no marketing behind it. I found it on GamePass and thought I'd give it a shot. I'm glad I did, 'cause it's a brilliant game!

I could Play anything as long as it's not hot garbage

Little of this, little of that. I try to stay away from games that become the kinds of games that are the only games people play at the exclusion of all else, don't need that in my life.

Any and all games that may or may not have intrigue me. The brand name, metascore, the sales number, the player count don't mean shit to me. Gamers have the worst fucking taste in their own art form, out of any fucking fanbase of any medium ever. Yah can't be trusted.

As a kid, I try anything or look at the game box cover and give my judgement.

Now I rely on reviews and play known titles I have missed out on.

Nowadays tend to just do my backlog as just bought a ton of shit never actually played.

@masterkiller103:

Any. That's how I learned about games like Hyperdimension Neptunia, Blue Reflections, Disaster Report 4 and Atelier jrpgs. Some of the most obscure are also the most creative.

I play a wide range of games; from big AAAs to obscure indies. I doubt many of you have even heard of Starpoint Gemini 2, Venetica, or Dust: An Elysian Tail.

But it's not like I just buy any old game, especially these days with my massive, hopeless backlog. I research every purchase carefully. I picked these games because I thought they were up my alley.

I play over 100 games a year (on a slow year) so I am really into indies and just about any little weird thing I come across. PC gamepass is REALLY good for that.

Any game that looks interesting, right now i wish they made more games like Commandos or Hidden and dangerous

I don't really care much about indie games.. I feel like indie games today are trying to replicate what games were like 30 years ago lol. It's like they're trying to market to nostalgists.

I pick any game that interests me. I do some research on the game. Then if it looks good enough I buy it.

In fact, well known big name AAA games interest me less and less as time moves on. Pretty much the only AAA games I buy these days are from Nintendo and Sega.

Did you expect people to admit they don’t try unknown games?

That used to be the way back then though, don't you think?

Any game that looks interesting. I play most genres except walking simulators and puzzle-heavy games. I watch some gameplay videoes and reviews and decide if I will buy the game. Heavily discounted games are more attractive to try out of course. I discovered unknown gems such as Hands of Fate 2 and For the King this way.

If I hear a game is good, I'll play it, I don't need to stick to known brands.

OP, you probably should have framed the question differently, but good topic nonetheless.

I play anything. I like to take the random recommendation from online and have found some surprising gems I normally would not have been exposed to.
