Favorite Genre and Why

Action-adventure for me. The combination of action elements -- timed challenges, real-time combat -- with adventure elements -- exploration and problem-solving -- is, for me, the perfect formula.

I can't really say it better myself.

Aside from Adventure games the genre I almost equally like really is on the other side of the spectrum; the so-called 'construction & business management' genre, better known by the names of 'simulation' and 'city builder'. I like the endlessness and the sandbox nature. I like planning, managing and setting up things and design your own cities, themeparks, zoos, whatever in a quiet non-hostile environment. No objectives. I don't like the games that aren't a sandbox in this genre though, they're useless to me, with really only one exception. I'm still waiting for an 'airport builder'. A lot of these games become personal evergreens, and I play them for decades on end.
