What is it you look for in a game?

Hi peeps

Been an exciting time so far on JA, I have to admit, been a long time since I sat down in anticipation of what new bounties are around and discussions! So I thought, I'm going to start one myself because I'd love to know!

So for instance, Minecraft for me, it's about creation, you log in, to this massive open world, either in creative or survival, and you bend the land to your will, you change the world to your making and how you want it. For instance:

I've taken a normal NPC village and completely remodeled it, adding a dock, ships, clean pathways, etc. This is shaping the land to my liking, I am playing god in my world, and this enables me to lose myself in Minecraft for hours at a time.

So, what exactly, in your favorite game, makes you want to play and keep playing for hours? What is it, that pushes you to log in, after your day of work or family?

Hope people comment!
