I mean if you took out the story, the visual design, the characters, and broke it down into just its gameplay loop

I feel like for me, probably like Infamous or Spiderman? One of the open-world traversal games with platforming challenge

Depends if you count world design as part of gameplay I guess. If you cut out world design, then it'd probably be something like Bayonetta...?

Oh I guess visual design goes into that too though but at its core that ties into the gameplay

At that point it's practically "what game do you love enough that you would speedrun" for me.

At which point... toss-up between Crash Team Racing and Kirby Planet Robobot. I think Crash would juuuust edge that out.

I guess for the purposes of this is discard world/visual design as much as possible without sacrificing the effect on gameplay. Like for Mirrors Edge having things you can parkour on marked a different color is essential to play it as intended but it'd be less of a cityscape and more generic boxes of various shape and size to jump on

I think this would actually affect the people saying Doom because part of the gameplay appeal is the visceral gore of it all.

It would probably end up being a Super Smash Bros game, since it's been established that I enjoy playing that type of game even with different visuals, characters, and worlds.

Other consideration: Super Mario Maker, i.e. "generic customizable platformer with user-shared levels".

XCOM 2: War of the Chosen

I desperately want games that are basically "XCOM reskinned", so (while I do like the world, characters and design of XCOM), they're secondary to how much I love the gameplay.

Bioware at one point hinted that they were considering doing a 'Dragon Age Tactics' that would be like a fantasy XCOM, and, even though it looks like nothing came of it, such a game would make me very happy indeed. Mass Effect XCOM would make me ecstatic.

I'm reasonably confident it'd still be Celeste, as much as all its other aspects contribute to it. Something like Dragon Quest XI would make a good case for my top spot, though.

Probably a Smash but I can't decide Melee vs Ultimate. I never did get into super high level Melee but I always did really enjoy it, but Ultimate's come back to being where I truly don't need to go back to Melee anymore now that I got my directional air-dodges back.

also up there for Dread, although still mix-up the shoulder buttons a lot so that pulls it down.
