i treat every game like that. an example is Dead Island, it isnt about the story, or the graphics, or the production value's. but fighting the zombie's and leveling up your weapons and such. im a guy who loves a strong and great story, dead island lacks that, but it didnt ruin the game for me, as it didnt set out to have that. can i call it an amazing game? no not really. but it was a fun one that i really enjoyed. and honestly there is nothing really wrong with that |
I guess it all depends on what Spurge meant by a quality experience. If he meant amazing, then the enjoyable game wouldn't be a quality experience. If he meant of reasonable enough quality to be enjoyable then both would be of quality.
But in the end (if I were to guess) I think that OP is looking for some criteria that make a game stand out and feel like it was truly of better quality than the average game. Though taking a second look at OP it seems he meant both the amazing and enjoyable game you mention.
"What does a game have to have that would make you say it was worth the purchase and your time, besides being fun"
