The passive, point-and-click puzzler that stresses an emotional narrative and dialogue is usually the farthest thing from my style in terms of gaming - but I can't help but be drawn to Life is Strange. It's partly the depth of the writing, characters, and partly the neat concept of rewinding time and "redoing" a past event.
I love Forza Horizon 4 even though I'm not typically into more straight-up racers. Though it has the open-world aspect and some arcade elements that I favor.
Not really much for turn-based RPGs but I do dig Octopath Traveller - they at least add some interesting twists and make the battles somewhat interesting/exciting despite the slower pacing of turn-based battles.
Love the Gears series (at least the first 3 games) even though I'm usually not as into the more linear, cinematic style of games wrought with greys and browns. Though much of this is because of the fun online gameplay. But I do appreciate the fluid animation and dynamic cover system too, as well as some of the crazy, satisfying weaponry.
