2. Which video game are you playing most right now? What do you think is the appeal, and what would you improve?
How to Answer
It's tough to be an excellent video game developer if you have never played a video game before! This question is an interest-based query, so there isn't a right or wrong answer; however, the interviewer is looking for an in-depth and thoughtful reply in regards to the appeal of the game, and where you could make it better. If you are currently playing a game created by Epic Games, be sure to let them know!

1st Answer Example
"For the past year, I have been playing Fortnite. It is, hands down, my favorite game. Fortnite brilliantly uses the freemium model, offering v-bucks that pay for outfits, emotes, and upgraded abilities, merchandise, and more. One thing I would change about Fortnite would be to introduce a ranked game mode with a leaderboard. There should be more emphasis on skills-based player matchmaking."

2nd Answer Example
"Currently, I am playing Red Dead Redemption. I enjoy that it's an open world game, with endless activity options. If I had the opportunity to improve the game, I would make the storyline more involved, and encourage players to dig deeper. Currently, the storyline seems unimportant, which could quickly bore some gamers."
