I tend to get recommendations from my friends, but I can just go off of gut feeling from time to time.

The aim of the game and the artstyle.
Story, characters and artstyle are usually the main things for me.
If i like the gender i watch a video about the game andif i like the style i buy it
I don't dare buy games without looking at reviews first after the game's release. I learned the hard way after buying the $120 version of COD: Ghosts. I won't buy indie games that I know will die out after a year or two no matter how fun it looks.
Also I'd just like to say Im so glad I didn't buy SOS, they BR'd it to crap

Either great story or awesome gameplay (infinite, if possible, like The binding of Isaac).
I never look at rewievs, though, I just pick a game and if I deem it good then I try it. Rarely miss. And even if I miss, then I, most likely, play it years later, like Osu! here, I installed it in 2013 and I didnt like it, but here I am, 5 years later, remembered about it (a week ago) and can't stop playing it since =)

It depends if its good or not lol
But i usually always looks for gameplay, the FPS, and sometimes the story.

Unique Gampelay and storyline
but its depend from the genre
like if its rhythm game i would like to see the song selection first then the gameplay
if its action, gameplay first then story
but for rpg game i would like to see the concept and storyline first and what kind of approach the dev are making

Depends on Genre. I like bullet-hell and tycoon sort of games. Other factors I put into consideration are community and how well the game will run on my computer.
it apparently seems that initially i would choose games based on their music
like touhou. i didnt think id like shooters, but like most people, enjoyed the music. it manages to be one of my favorites though.
i believe i also chose pokemon titles for their music
i also choose games based on what other people play. i would see this game (osu) in many people's discord statuses and before even knowing it was a rhythm game (i actually thought it was this pink game with anime characters where you just click stuff and was purely aesthetic)

Videos of popular channels or friends
Other people's recommendations, and sticking to the same games for years.
1st - good art design.
2nd - not so shabby storyline (because it hurts me as a writer to read cringy storyline)
3rd - at least a decent battle system or easy to understand game mechanics, it it is complicated too much, I'll drop it.
And most importantly, not a rip-off from somewhere, because that is just annoying...

mostly off of recommendations, but i enjoy games with a really pleasing aesthetic, or games that interesting concepts.
