Retro games often focus on straightforward mechanics and minimalistic design, while modern games offer complex systems, deep storytelling, and immersive worlds. Which do you prefer and why? Do you find yourself enjoying the nostalgia and simplicity of older titles, or do you gravitate toward the depth and innovation in today's games?

Same here. I find myself enjoying both, depending on the mood. Retro games have a charm because they offer quick, easy-to-pick-up gameplay that doesn’t require a huge time investment or learning curve. It's refreshing to dive into something simple and fun, especially for nostalgia. But modern games have their own appeal with their intricate systems, deep storytelling, and immersive worlds that I can get lost in for hours. It’s like enjoying both a quick snack and a full, elaborate meal depending on what I’m craving at the time.
