I recently tried out some hero shooters and I’ve come to realize they’re just not my thing. It feels impossible to gauge your personal progress because a lot depends on how well or poorly your team performs. So, are there any game genres that just don’t click for you? What are your reasons?

MOBAs are a no-go for me. The toxicity in those communities and the steep learning curve aren’t worth my time or sanity.
I’ve never been a fan of serious racing games like F1 or rally simulators. Need for Speed or Burnout, sure, but those sim-type racing games just frustrate me. Maybe it’s better with a wheel and pedals setup, but I don’t think it’s worth the investment.
Souls-like games are pretty hit or miss for me. FromSoftware’s titles are the only ones I’ve found challenging in a satisfying way. A lot of others just feel unfair and frustrating without being rewarding.
Horror games, no way. The controls are usually clunky, and being defenseless is too nerve-wracking. I love the genre, but I can’t handle the stress.
I totally get it. Silent Hill 2 remake is putting me through anxiety hell. It’s a fantastic horror game, but the tension is just relentless.
Honestly, anything that requires competing against other players isn’t for me. I gravitate more towards cooperative play rather than stressing myself out in PvP environments like racing or fighting games.
Sports games, especially anything resembling FIFA or NBA 2K, just don’t appeal to me. I’d rather be playing the sport in real life than working through a digital version.
Absolutely have no love for battle royales. The random nature of loot makes it too stressful, and nine times out of ten, I get taken out by someone I never even see. It’s just not for me.
Most sports games get on my nerves. Maybe exceptions for some like soccer or hockey, but the rest are just unappealing. I don’t get the same joy from playing them virtually when I could actually go outside and play.
I agree, it’s a different experience with the proper setup, but getting into it would cost a fortune. It can feel like the actual steps to improve just aren’t obvious without the right gear.
