Graphics quality/textures, polygons, etc.

Art style

Story

Gameplay

Load times

Duration

Re-playability

Multiplayer

Freedom/open world, diverging story, etc.



Go ahead and rank all of those aspects from highest to lowest value. I understand some aspects depend on the type of game, but just answer this generally.

It's not on your list, but I really value voice acting/audio the most. It makes games feel so much better if they sounds good. Be it some 8 bit or the Last of Us, they all need good audio to succeed.

Visuals dont really matter to me nor does replay value - cause I'll still play it - doesnt mean it WONT impact the score I give a game though

But the above mentioned aspects are the aspects I value the most.

Replayability is a big one for me... I don't want to drop $60+ on a game when the playthrough will be done too quickly and after a week or 2 won't need or want to play the game again
