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.
Mostly just sports games since I don’t even have an interest in sports outside of gaming either. I can totally understand how you can’t get into souls-likes. If it wasn’t for college and being able to play bloodborne all day and get good at it I’d probably want nothing to do with them.
