Any game where the main focus is 'story' or being 'cinematic'. I just wanna play a game. If I want a good story, I'll read a book. If I want a cinematic experience, I'll watch a movie. Games trying to be anything other than games reeks of cultural cringe to me. Stop interrupting my fun with your non-interactive bullshit, games!

Haha, that's the exact opposite of me playing games. Ahhhh fucking endless grinding and fights, I hate it, I just want to know what happens next in the story ffs. This means I don't play story driven games anymore and just end up watching a playthrough videos, basically only sandboxes and puzzles have gameplay I actually enjoy. It's fun how people can be so different!

Yeah, I don't really go for the endless grind either. I gravitate more towards platformers and metroidvanias and so on. I'm currently replaying Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet.

This was why I loved TLOU 2. It blends both things perfectly. The gameplay was amazing. I look forward to the next fight to test shit out... But also, I really want to see what happens in the story.

Just don’t play those games then. No need to find abullshit justification as to why this is evil, you just don’t like it.

I don't. Who said anything about it being evil? I never claimed it was anything other than personal taste. No need to be so snarky.

ETA: Occasionally one slips through my filter. I bought Sanabi because it looked like it has interesting mechanics, but my god does it interrupt the flow with excessive slow-walking/cut scene exposition too much. I don't even mind if they keep it brief, but they went on way too long in that game. I enjoyed it a lot more after I started spamming the skip button.
