I love my favorite games and have been playing them for years, but I disliked about 99% of the games I played.

I don’t think I have FoMO or anything; I just find it weird because my taste in music, film, or art/media in general is usually fairly broad. I guess I just wonder why my taste in games is aggressively limited.

It’s not for the lack of trying new games; I’ve tried more or less anything I could find, sometimes because it’s popular, other times because it looked interesting, but nothing really hits the mark like my favorite games.

I just don’t like what most developers create, I guess?

I’m hoping, by posting this, maybe I can find others who are having a similar experience, and we can share thoughts.

    Oh, absolutely. It probably has a lot to do with falling out of favor with current design and monetization trends, I agree.

    Some of the games I’ve been playing for years: Guilty Gear, Under Night In-Birth, Bayonetta, The Wonderful 101, Crimzon Clover, Smash TV, and Catherine.

    Which games do you keep going back to?

      Mainly games built for replaying, so arcade puzzlers like Super Hexagon/Tetris Effect/Mixolumia/Equaline/etc, roguelikes such as FTL/BrogueCE/etc, or strangesims like Powder Toy or Vilmonic. Although even with those it’s more occasional, like when I’m uncertain of what I’m wanting to do.
