It just happened to me with Lies of P, it looks beautiful and I thought I might like the game, but soulslike are not really my cup of tea and I'm afraid I might not enjoy it.

    1. Every time I’m getting really interested in a turn-based game, and then I find out it has timed button presses.

      Co-Op and/or Multiplayer.

      ~~I have no friends~~ Life is to hectic for me to play games that I can’t pause (or just suspend on my Steam Deck to pick up 3 days later).

      So it used to be Point & Click but I did play a Demo during NextFest that kinda made me rethink that a bit, my problem before was mostly on the level of pixel hunting but not every P&C needs to be that

      I think currently it is RTS and Simulator games that I am not really interested in

    4. Maybe I’m just a boomer but I really don’t like extraction shooters or battle royale anything. I like shooters but I just want standard objective based games and team death match. Recent game this just happened to me with was marathon. I loved halo to death growing up, and enjoyed the original marathon games and their crazy lore. The aesthetics of the new marathon are amazing and the gunplay itself is really good, I just can’t get into it. I’ve had to accept that shooters just aren’t made for people like me anymore lol

      Rogue like/lite. Soulslike. Crafting. Survival. Turn-based. Deck builder. Pretty much all the “hot” stuff these days.

    6. Roguelike.

      I’m just tired of meaningless procedurally generated levels. Give me something handmade, something that had some thought put behind it.

      Soulslike, because it is an imperfect imitation of the actual Souls games. If it ain’t Fromsoft, I won’t touch it.

    8. Soulslike for sure. Im just so exhausted with everything being made “difficult”. Most of these games aren’t difficult, theyre just frustrating and tedious.
