What are some individual games, series, or genres that you think deserve to be influential or to have a fandom but you can't personally bring yourself to play or enjoy?
For me, I respect stealth games since games like Metal Gear and Hitman have done a lot to advance things like video game storytelling and diversify games beyond just "rush in and kill". But I just can't enjoy stealth in games personally, not even "stealth sections" in non-stealth games.
I also have this attitude towards "linear cinematic games", as I think they are fine enough artistic statements. I've just fell out of love with their mostly handholdy natures, and I much prefer "linear atmospheric games" for their combo of focused gameplay and illusion of player agency.
