Explained simply
Video games can be enjoyable for different reasons: some focus on combat and exploration, while others centre on stories, collecting or steady progress. Collider is an entertainment website that has compared games using its own idea of “fun”, looking at how they play and how well their different parts work together.
The titles mentioned span several kinds of game. Elden Ring is an open-world adventure known for challenging fights and exploration; Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 build on a series about collecting and battling creatures; Resident Evil 4 blends action with horror; and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 lets players move through a city as the superhero. These examples show why a single ranking of enjoyable games depends on what players value.
