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.
Sports games, the fact that they are outright cash grabs with very iteration the same as their previous. And that I could play such sports in real life if I wanted to.
Shooters like MW or CoD, same thing with sports games. They are the same thing every year with just a fresh coat of paint. I do love playing Borderlands, and CounterStrike.
