To me, it's less about the games themselves and more about the tendencies a certain developer leans toward when making their games. I picked Naughty Dog because their games are almost always linear games with a heavy emphasis on animation and level design rather than explorables and skill trees and everything that isn't the main content. I'd rather focus all my energy on the main content; making interesting, replayable levels without having to divert my attention towards populating the levels with details and secrets.
