I like all sort of games, any genre that offers me a good gaming experience i will tend to enjoy, im not a one dimensional type of gamer who only enjoy one specific game design (e.g Souls fanboy, JRPG fanboy, CRPG fanboy, Strategy, fighting..etc)
I play and enjoy all type of games and i can understand different thing a game is going for, but based on my experience after all these years playing games i usually find a lot of enjoyment in:

1- Games that allow me to creatively solve my way out of their encounters via intricate level design and interesting mechanics. (Immersive Sim)
2- Games that offer me engaging story and adventure where i meet different characters, progress and upgrade myself and become something i aspired, told through good stories, immersive world shaped by my choices (Role-Playing)
3- 2D or 3D metroidvania style of games where i explore interesting worlds, backtrack through levels and as i progress i unlock more tools that help me, discover secrets and overcome challenges. (Metroidvania or also Action/Adventure-Zelda inspired)

I do enjoy horror, stealth, FPS as well but on a lesser scale, lets say those are honorable mentions.

I used to be a big fan of Fighting games and Strategy back then but i rarely invest in them nowadays.


TPS, Point click adventure, racing and sports are generally genres i find the least interest in.

No arcade racers or 3d platformers?

 

[Griffon]

Its easier to list the genre I dont play than the ones I'd do: casual, puzzlers, simulators, crafting and visual novels.

For all other genres, just make a good game and I'd be interested.

"Action adventure (like Tomb Raider/Uncharted/GoW 2018/Horizon/Spider-Man)"

the only Action Adventure in that list is Tomb Raider, and only the original games not the reboot trilogy... and that makes me kinda sad ngl... the fact that Action Adventure has been degraded to simply mean "Miscellaneous" these days

 

[H4ze]

FPS all day, every day.

Honorable mentions, (MMO)RPGs, Action Adventures, Racing and RTS.
I wish I could see how many hours in my life I sank into these combined. At least I know I have several thousand hours in Counter Strike and WoW alone.

 

[PeteBull]

Had to only pick 10 genres but i could w/o any problems go with 15 instead, just poll didnt allow to chose more than 10, i like it diverse where it counts;D

 

[Robb]

1. 3D platformer
2. Action/Adventure
3. 2D platformer

[daywarf]

Can you please add flight simulators and car games

done! now there they be!

The types that are Great Games.

Stealth is my genre, Metal Gear notwithstanding.
Also, immersive sims not made by Arkane Studios.
Also, imagine calling The Witcher 3 an "RPG".

Why not? Are there anything wrong with the Witcher3?

Mainly rpgs here, especially Jrpgs. I've noticed some of my tastes have shifted over time. Now I really enjoy a good shmup but I've really fallen off of the FPS genre, partly due to the limited field of view. I can't stand that. And my love of 3rd person games has escalated greatly. Also I've noticed I suffer occasional nausea for some FPS titles. I've also stopped playing most MP titles save for couch co-op stuff with my gf. Partially due to free time and scheduling differences with friends online, plus I don't like playing with strangers very much. Also the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in completing games in my backlog is far great than just hanging out with my old game groups back in the day. Fun though they were, its just such a time and often money sink since the industry went so strong into GaaS. I'd say since the 360/PS3 gen my backlog grew exponentially because I'm the kind of guy that's got to have and see it all, but MP really does demand a lot of commitment.

I've also grown very tired of the Action Adventure type, namely from the west. They are the same game from the PS360 gen with slightly better gfx and now weaker stories and characters. The same gameplay design is holding them back, with the forced walkie-talkie sections masking load times and offering "character development". Its up there with the ol' audio recordings doing the same thing for cheap. Except now I've grown to prefer the later since I can still run around and play. I much prefer it if devs make a game with story to have actual cutscenes with direction.

I like what you said.
I want to say something but don't know how, and your summary just said what I want to say perfectly, though the games we like may be different.

Metal Gear. Stealth and "human trafficking to HQ".
Well, it's definitely a good game for Stealth.

 

[lostinblue]

can't find 3D platformer on the list.

 

[Laptop1991]

RPG, Open World and FPS.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Having genres in place is embarrassing to the gamer, those stipulations aren’t important. It’s going to divide gamers.

Sorry but can‘t add more...

You are definitely right.
But still the best way.
