Take time! Game design is smth very hard as it needs to cross a line between something personal and objective for it to be really special <3. I personally go very chill about this. I first try to enjoy the game as much as I simply can :D! Playing games like a 6 year old makes you feel the magic. And good games have some kind of magic (getting kinda immersed). Bad games can't. And from there I analyze. Why made it me feel like that. Why did I like that. Why not. Is there a game dev intension. What does he want? Tell me what you hahahahaha.
