A common motif in many of my favorite games is exploration, whether it be in space or by finding new stuff.

My favorite games are those that require exploration, whether it be of in-game secrets or actual locations.

In terms of physical form and discovering new features, exploration plays a significant role in my favorite games.

Even when they aren't there in person, I like to lose myself in the narratives of my favorite characters and learn as much as I can about the more intricate aspects of their games.

I think that the excitement of discovery and adventure is what draws me to a lot of games more than realistic environments.
