Why is your favourite genre, your favourite genre?

Action/Adventure.

I love going on a long journey with great combat and exploration.

After that its just Action, like Bayonetta/DMC etc
Then RPG and Platformers in a tie.
Then RTS, only so low because theres barely any games like this now and I played a shitton of these as a kid back then it was my favourite.

HOWEVER, I like to play a variety of games, normally I don't play 2 games in same genre in a row for example, I like to vary things around.
This year ive played DQ3 (2D RPG), then God of War Ragnarok (Action/Adventure) then im playing DKCR HD (platformer) then Echoes of Wisdom (2D Adventure) etc

Do you find yourself having a hard time on boarding into annRTS/simulation title?

I have found the older I get the less I can pull the effort out of myself to play RTS, 4x, simulation games or games like them cause it's too mentally taxing and it takes sooo long to get to the meat of the game. I still enjoy turn based strategy games if they flow well and there is no random battles and once I do get into one of these more accessible genres like Two point hosptial I get madly addicted yet those are fun and in full swing from the first mission.

And then there's the imagination aspect which is strong as a kid for simulation titles but it's not as powerful as you get older so making your own fun is not really a thing as an as adult.
