What Makes A Game Fun

What keeps you coming back for more?

There are a lot of games out there, and lets be honest, most of them really suck. So what exactly is it, to you, that makes a game a great experience?

To me, teamwork makes a game fun. I love the feeling afterwards that I shared the experience with other people successfully.

Game mechanics. Fast, fun, exciting, and the urge to keep playing. Randomization is also a HUGE key in any game to make a game fun. I do not want to play the same exact game every single time.

Games that did this for me

Diablo 2

Civ 4

Gal Civ 2

Replayability features such as customization, regular upgrades (low cost or free), moddable assets.

And... lemme WIN it at least once but not before having held a wild smily_toughy_tricky ride against near impossible odds.
