When it comes to video games, nobody’s playing around. It’s a multi-billion-dollar entertainment industry, and you’re the prime target market. But do you know what kind of games suit you?

Press Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A… (if you know you know) or just scroll down to find out.

The Mobile Fiddler

Tetris? Nailed it. Candy Crush Saga? Crushed it. Monopoly Go? You’re a total tycoon. You know the App Store’s Arcade back to front, and if there’s a spare moment in your day, you’re on your phone playing whatever game you can get your thumbs on. Waiting for a ride, sitting in a meeting, lazing on your couch… Your phone’s on, and you’re gaming.

The Builder

You’re a maker and a creator, and you’re proud of what you’ve built. Whether it’s a life for your Sims or an entire world for those weird little Minecraft sheep, you’ve put in countless hours to make it beautiful, unique, and yours.

The Stone Cold Killer

Most of the time, you’re a peace-loving person who avoids conflict and always agrees with your boss and colleagues. The rest of the time, you’re logging into Call of Duty, Overwatch or Apex Legends (or whatever else puts a virtual arsenal in your virtual hands), and handing out damage, building up kills and racking up wins. First-person shooters are your weapon of choice, and you can take or leave your teammates.

The Social Butterfly

What are you playing? Who cares? As long as you’re online with your friends, you’re winning. You’ll join an obstacle course on Roblox if it gets you chatting to your crew, and you’ll be the Imposter in Among Us if that’s what it takes to socialise with your besties. Gaming and competition are secondary. Friendship is what you’re really after.

The Racer Chaser

You were raised on Mario Kart. You cut your teeth on Gran Tourismo, Forza Horizon and your cousin’s old Need For Speed saves. You don’t care if you’re chasing glory in EA’s F1 or being chased by that cop and his dog in Subway Surfers. All you care about is speed – and your super-fast, no-lag internet connection. You’re even more into it if you love cars and building them.

The Adventurer-Slash-Explorer

You are Nathan Drake. You are Lara Croft. You were the Prince of Persia, and now you are whichever assassin happens to be parkouring through whichever version of Assassin’s Creed you’re currently into. Arcade-style games are not for you. You want open worlds, side quests, plot twists and storylines.

The Secret Second Lifer

Maybe you’ve gone all-in on actual Second Life, or maybe you’re just exploring the immersive open worlds of Far Cry 6, Grand Theft Auto 5, Fallout 4, The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn. Whichever it is, you’ve created a fully realised alternative reality in your head and on your device. In your world, you’ve won the Champions League with Wrexham FC for the past three seasons. Your world just happens to be EA Sports FC 25’s Career Mode.

The Retro Game Lover

You own the latest console, but also own an NES emulator with classics like Castlevania, Rockman, Adventure Island and Super Mario Bros. You don’t mind pixels and enjoy side-scrolling as much as you love an open-world adventure and Thursday night is old school games night in your house. Most importantly, you love the fact that you can save your progress, unlike those old days on the family game, so you can break up your play time and not have to start from scratch every time you pick up the controller.

Gaming, regardless of the type you choose, is always experienced more effectively with a stable internet connection. Check out Vodacom Fibre to find out whether you have coverage in your area and to get a great deal on your connection.
