The top 13 games you don't know why you love

Whether it&rsquoꦗ;s from a friend, parent, or well-meaning but obviously disinterested grandparent, we’ve all been asked some variation of the question: “What’s that you’re doing there?” Our first instinct is to continue our near-comatose screen gazing until the threat moves on, but every once in a while we’re forced to answer the dreaded follow-up question: “Why’s it fun?” That’s when the nightmare begins.

If you’re lucky, you’re playing a game like Portal or Super Mario Galaxy – both of which have been scientifically proven to be instantaneously fun for all people. No explanation required. But what happens when you’re rearranging furniture in Animal Crossing, or – worse yet -- doing anything in WarioWare? That’s when it hits you: You reall🌞y have no idea why you enjoy this game so much. You’ve formed a parasitic bond with your game console over the past 80 hours, but your brain blue screens whenever you try to explain what makes the ga🥀me so special.

But no more. Just break the glass surrounding this article, and you&rsquꩲo;ll find a fool-proof cheat sheet we’ve asse♍mbled in case of such emergencies.
