Why is your favourite genre, your favourite genre?

Turn based strategy and adventure games with a lot of puzzles is my favorite genre even if very few games from those genres are in my favorite games list.
I like them because even if I'm kind of stupid they can make me feel smart. One of my favorite feelings games can entice. Auto battlers, Heroes of might and magic, Phoenix wright and even some action adventures like Zelda and Uncharted can exemplify this.

Atmospheric action games with Diablo and RE4 on top are probably second. And yes my genres are a bit out there when I combine so vastly different types of games into the mix. But I tend to focus on how games make me feel. What both Diablo and Resident Evil 4 does so well is creating gameplay that make my heart raise. Feeling like I really need to step up to the task, testing the limits of my ability to stay calm and collected.

Sekiro should test the feeling of staying calm and collected if you've never played it before and it has strong vibes along with Bloodbonre which has the strongest vibes of any game and the level design is like a puzzle to solve.  Sounds like you'd love flow state games too like Ghost Runner, it combines all those genres together and has a distinct atmosphere, it's like one big puzzle you have to trial and error and then strategically progress your path and it'll definetly test your ability to stay calm and collected.
