What elements does it have? The first thing that springs to mind is a sandbox, though all the sandboxes I've played feel too limiting after a while. Perhaps one in which you have complete control over not only what you can create, but the physics of the universe? For example, set up a massive battle between two armies while meteors are falling from the sky and the sun is slowly expanding in both mass and volume until eventually the remnants of the battlefield are sucked into space.
Or strategy games, particularly long ones like Civilization V, except the pacing can feel too slow at times. I want something that takes eons to complete yet never slows down. That's what I loved about the Age of Empires II LAN parties I used to have, except they either ended too quickly because of not enough people or we have a full game but half of them got frustrated and left because they thought it took too long.
I've always enjoyed Super Smash Bros., it seems to have the right mix of pacing and length given the right options are set, but the genre isn't really my favorite. I need a big picture-type game. I enjoy stealth games like Dishonored so much because you're really exercising control over everything in the level, so long as you don't get caught. But here pacing becomes an issue because of the very nature of stealth, and Dishonored at least was far too short and the action was broken up between every mission in an annoying way. I want a good blend of scope and involvement.

Maybe we could research them and copy theirs?
