What does a game have to give you to make it worth it?

An average of $1 an hour of gameplay? What do you figure?

I can't spend 30-60 hours on a game and feel like I got robbed.

Loot boxes.

100+ hours then again I spent way more then that on the base Destiny 2 and felt ripped off and spent under 50 on the new south park game and felt ok with it.

Battle royale mode



Edit - To answer the question properly, a captivating experience that keeps me coming back for more and fapping to the prospect of a sequel/prequel.

For me fantastic gameplay and diversity of gameplay thanks to a complex system that allows many ways to win. I definitely think some games far exceed their value in dollars because the gameplay is worth coming back for.

Games like dark souls, Poe, fallout, starcraft especially with custom games, subnautica, etc. are games that I got way more hours than the dollar value I put into them.

A great single player experience. I don't necessarily care about hours spent playing as long as it holds my attention. God if War and Detroit: Become Human were both awesome yet totally different. I just like quality games that don't rip you off with crappy loot boxes or locked dlc
