What makes a game good in your opinion?Like most things, it's just about how good they are. I'm fine playing them, although I do feel drawn out of the experience if there's any of the bog standard assets there, as that just reminds me "this is RPG Maker!"
So many things. If you're thinking of making one, find a style of game which you want to make and play through several of those style of games multiple times in multiple different ways, trying to push those games from all angles.What makes a game good in your opinion?Like most things, it's just about how good they are.

Thanks for your advice but I would have rather know your personal view on what makes a game good. For the rest, I am going through "The Art of Game Design" by Jesse Schnell, that seems among the few good books on the subject.So many things.

Then when you know what you want to achieve with your game, plan it out, get it made, get some feedback and adjust what you feel is fair but don't lose your vision either. Then play the game through yourself several times, making any final adjustments, and get it hyped and released.

These 2 together are ~30-40 hours of gameplay if you want to see all the content, but if after that you still want more, Red Hood's Woods is also worth a try. It's a very short little game, maybe 3-5 hours, but I still had fun with it.

After that, many years from now, we're supposed to get Black Souls III - the game that will complete the RPG genre.Black Souls duology
Said it before but you can make good games out of any engine, Xenonauts used Diner Dash, Lisa used rpgmaker, Heads Will Roll used renpy, et cetera.
