-Timed sequences
-if you can die in the game or get stuck
-if the game developers have made bad games in the past
-if it is in first person
-too many action sequences
-if it is a horror game, I won't buy it
-repetitive puzzles
-expects you to write things down yourself for a puzzle much later in the game
-a bad interface and inventory system really bug me
-if they try to make the game not seem like an actual adventure game to sell more copies
-if the world is way too big and you only have a few puzzles
-live action gameplay or cutscenes
-too many loading screens
Things like graphics and voice acting aren't that important to me as long as the main character has a good voice actor. And I usually don't go by reviews. I like to see things for myself.
