The most fun I have in games is untimed puzzle-solving that isn't tedious to get from step-to-step (like running around the temples in FFX). I'm easily stressed out when it comes to something being on a deadline, even if I know I'll never waste enough time to hit the end of that deadline, and puzzle solving is incredibly satisfying to me.

That's not the only way I have fun, but that's probably how I have the most fun, and why I can get so much enjoyment out of casual flash games - easy to put that into one.

i really love just dashing out at foes with a quick, swift weapon and then wiping out a whole clan or something with a special move or something. Cx

or maybe slowly exploring a world where things are uncertain and where you have to use tactics and have a plan for every step! :3

love that, hehe.

Fun is a game that pushes you to the edge of insanity, but then gives you a little leeway without having to switch to another game because you're getting so angrivated that you're about to get out of your chair and bash your control into the tv screen until it's just a pile of glass and plastic.
Spoiler:

Minus the "gives you a little leeway" part:


But really, fun is hitting a wall you feel like you can't pass. Fun is beating against that wall with everything you have--and sometimes that means beating your head into the wall. Fun is seeing that wall crack. Fun is knocking that wall down with your now-hard-as-iron head.

fun for me is working hard to get incredibly OP to the extent that you can just stare at something and it'll piss itself in fear or just explode on the spot. This is why I love games like League of Legends so much - you constantly get chances to snowball ahead of people and when you do the rewards are incredible; the feeling of dominating a match when you've done your best to earn it is a great feeling, even if it is just for twenty minutes until the game ends.
