Making peace with liking very few games? (piefed.social)

I love my favorite games and have been playing them for years, but I disliked about 99% of the games I played.

I don't think I have FoMO or anything; I just find it weird because my taste in music, film, or art/media in general is usually fairly broad. I guess I just wonder why my taste in games is aggressively limited.

It's not for the lack of trying new games; I've tried more or less anything I could find, sometimes because it's popular, other times because it looked interesting, but nothing really hits the mark like my favorite games.

I just don't like what most developers create, I guess?

I'm hoping, by posting this, maybe I can find others who are having a similar experience, and we can share thoughts.

I recommend CrossCode, if you haven't tried it. It's a top-down twinstick shooter/fighter so the gameplay is comparable to some of those you've listed and the story is long and unforgettable, with tons of fun optional content. Probably my favorite game narrative; there's nothing like it.

Some other favorites of mine are Revita, but there's little in terms of story, and Outer Wilds, but it's a slow burn. And if you're looking for games to play with friends, these are some of my favorite multiplayer indie games:
