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!
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.
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.

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.
