Investigate

What makes a “good” game enjoyable to play?
-A good game must have good features to it. With key features you can change the gameplay tremendously. Without the key features to the game, people may be turned away from the game.
-Smooth gameplay. Nothing in the game is out of position. The controls should be set properly and not clanky.
-Good story line for the game. It should not be just be a random game mode/type, it needs to be well thought out and planned in the design.
-The game needs to have a relatively good plot to it. The game shouldn't just be something where you just walk around and pick things up to complete the game.
-The game should be interesting and something that you would want to come back to. You have to sell your game to the viewers. Make them want to play it again and tell others to get your game out in the real world.
-Innovation. The game should have new feautures that differ from other games of that type. This will make the game more popular.

What makes a “bad” game not enjoyable to play?
-Glitches. The game is not properly prepared. There are many feautures and controls that have not been properly dealt with.
-Proper difficulty. Nobody likes to play impossible games. Yes Challenging games can be fun but if it's to hard you will get much less views than if it were easier. Then again on the flop side if the game is way to easy you will as well get much less viewers. So in order to get the right game difficulty you must test your game multiple times, until you think the game is a challenge but nothing to hard.
-Bad grahpics. If the game has a bad picture or fussy, it's a lot harder to enjoy the game because the features are not fully opened up. I think graphics are key factor to a video game.
