I almost never like games that are multiplatform. I associate it with sports games, shooters and movie tie-ins. Probably not fair of me but that's how it is. When it comes to the different exclusives for each platforms I kind of list it as: Sony - Action adventures, RPGs Xbox - FPS, - (pretty much draws a blank here, never had a reason to play Xbox) Nintendo - Plattformers, Action adventures, Party games PC - RTS, MOBA, MMO Mobile - Puzzle, strategy games
Of course each type of game exist on each platform but the best exclusive titles to often falls somewhere there. From the type of games I generally play at least. The deciding factor if a game works well is how it controls. Games that are good on PC is often games that work best with a mouse. RTS specifically, Games that are good on Mobile are often games that work best with touch screen. Puzzles. Games best played in a sofa with a big screen are best with a console and regular controller. Action adventures, couch co-op and party games.
Being an exclusive title is not necessary but I do think how a game is best played is determined by the platform it is on. Sitting in an office chair playing games on a PC with a controller does not give me the same experience as playing that same game in my sofa with a larger screen and sound system. Playing online heavy game without a keyboard for text communication is also not the same. And I will never go back to playing picross without touch controls.
Best games series are multiplatform: Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Dead Space, Final Fantasy, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Witcher, Monster Hunter, Dark Souls, Diablo, Tomb Raider, Castlevania, Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Solid, Civilization, and dozens more I forget. Go to sleep.
Also playing on 32' inch pc monitor on a very comfortable gaming chair is better than playing on tv on the sofa.
