First, I look at the reviews for the game. I like a game with good artwork, interesting story, and believable dialog. Good voice acting (or so terrible that it's hilarious) is a plus.
As for puzzles, I prefer it if important objects were not too difficult to spot. You end up wasting time if you didn't notice an important item from some previous area. Regardless, I see it as good training since the ability to pick out small details in any given picture or location can be useful.
