Mercury in Cancer gamers are passionate as gamers.  They put their heart and soul into playing a game to the point they may become easily attached to it.  When they are interested in a game they get enthralled in it, wanting to experience all the nuances of it all.  And the game never leaves their memory; they quickly memorize the steps necessary to complete games. When playing a game they can be quite tactile and they always find creative ways to get things done.  They learn through repetition how to play a game. They enjoy playing games that intrigue their imagination but with a less complicated gameplay style.  They appreciate games that are thoughtful and thought provoking.  They tend to be sentimental, so they appreciate good story telling and they may enjoy that more than the gameplay itself.  Visual imagery is an important part of gameplay for them.  They are very good at networking with other players and they are not ashamed to view a guide or tutorial if they get stuck on something.  They are defensive players so they usually weigh out a games map or the obstacles before jumping in and out of game stages.  If playing player vs player games, this will be quite a visible tactic of theirs. They like to observe their opponents first, then they will make a reactionary move.  They take losses personally and they may even lose interest if the game is too challenging for them to beat.

They are community oriented, so they may enjoy playing multiplayer games.  Because they are gamers that like memory and repetition, platform games may be really appealing.  Not to mention they have a nostalgic quality to them that most Mercury in Cancer natives might find interest in.  Games that allow them to customize and create might also be appealing because this type of energy is creative. And of course role playing games might intrigue their imagination and allow them to put themselves in another's shoes.  They are usually intrigued by those types of scenarios.
