Least favorite genre

There's no genre I've played I couldn't name at least a couple of games I've enjoyed in, and I really don't think there's any genre I'd refuse to play a game in, if I heard about a particularly good or unusually accessible one...

 

...but I must admit, that "realistic" Sports Games, SHMUPS, Auto'Runners and Sim-Style racing games are generally not my jam.

Sports. But then I don't care for sport in general. When I bought my Playstation 3 it came bundled with some tennis game which I promptly gave away. However, I don't mind sport activities in the context of an open-world game like Grand Theft Auto V.

 

When I was a child I went through a phase of watching and playing football. I played European Club Soccer on the Mega Drive at a friend's house once, enjoyed it enough to get my own copy. For the time I don't think it was too bad actually, in fact it had a great soundtrack. And no lootboxes whatsoever 😆

Gotta be sports, like a lot of people, apparently. Don't watch 'em in real life, I'm clueless about the rules, plus they bore me to sleep. I think Mario Tennis on the Virtual Boy (of all things) is the only "sports game" I've ever enjoyed.

 

Now, fighting I'm terrible at, but I don't dislike the genre. They're actually still a blast, even when mashing buttons, but I'm just so bad that it's not worth playing them for me.

I find it really hard to get into sports games these days. Don't really like sports, but I do enjoy the occasional baseball game. Also in real life, there's a local baseball team that I'll go see when they do special nights at the stadium. 

Don't want to say that I hate tactical RPGs, but I can never finish one. I own my fair share of them, and I've played up to certain points in them. 

Don't know if it's specifically a genre, but games where there's a timed mechanic, and you're locked out of content if you didn't do X, Y and Z hours ago. The Persona games with the "go here for this hour" options raise my anxiety like crazy. I'll play those games with a walkthrough.

Sport sims. I have 2 platinums for sport sims and both were miserable and boring experiences. I also don`t watch sport in real life. I`m fine with the more arcade like sport titles like the Outlaw Golf/Tennis or Legendary Eleven.

Also casino/gambling sims like Caesar`s Palace or World Series of Poker. I don`t like gambling and never saw the appeal in this kind of games.

Puzzles, not because I hate them, but because of how bad I am at them, I always have that feeling of frustation and embarassment when I get stuck on a seemingly easy puzzle only to look at the solutions and facepalm myself in how I wasn't able to find such simple solution.
