Fighting games for me, I still enjoy a lot of 3D fighters but sadly there doesn't seem to be as much of a focus on them as there used to be, and so many of the new 2D fighters are just way too focused around the online scene, there just isn't much drawing me in whenever I try to get into them these days. I have honestly given up on them for the most part by now, I even passed on the latest Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter just because I hardly played the last entries before them. As for competitive FPS it's just way too sweaty for me these days, I enjoyed it a lot more when there was more of a relaxed and social scene to it, that and I think I was simply a lot better at them when I was a teenager and in my 20's. Now it's like I just don't want to deal with all the sweatlords, so I stick to solo FPS or just play bots from time to time.

Platform games- I still want to play them but it's so rare that a new one comes out aside from Astro and Ratchet & Clank a few yeas ago. I used to love playing Jak, Ratchet and Sly back in the PS2 days.

Football game.

I love going to lounge to play Winning Eleven on PS2 back in collage. Winning Eleven 10 was the gift from god.

Well Konami did their thing, and EA is too strong of a force.

FIFA and Winning Eleven was both great at one point but Konami turned WE intobecome a F2P garbage game.

EA Sports's series is B2P but the same copy with no improvement, only withholding lisences from other. Even then don't get me start on FUT.

We also used to have the This is Football series on the ps2, EA also killed it. The graphics in those games were so much better than Fifa

Platformers. Side scrollers. Don’t care for em anymore one bit. Super Mario 64 was the apex for me and nothing is really dethroning it.

A good Metroid game every few years hits the spot tho. One of my favorite series ever. So it lives on when it has its place for me.

Actually I outgrew most everything Nintendo makes not Metroid or Zelda. Please give me wave race and an FZERO that isn’t some indie tier rom hack…. And punch out too 🙃
