For me, it has to be “souls like”. I don’t get much time to game so when I do, I want linear stories that are challenging but not to the extent that I can’t move forward without dying 100 times.
Also, sims that encourage a lot of DLC purchases - I’m an old school gamer and games used to come with all of the content - for one price. Now it’s just a given we have to hand over more money for half the game content.
any rpg games or mmo, i dont even know what the genre of the game is but any game that has a top down view and mythical creatures i wont touch. i respect ppl that do dont get me wrong, just that my zoomer brain needs more action that lil characters running around in groups doing individual things yk? again, no hate! its genuinely just a personal opinion!
(ps:ive never played any zelda game or finished a full pokemon game either for those same reasons lol)
