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. 

Not really but like I mainly play the expansions/dlc they keep pumping out for the Age of Empires / Mythology series, especially for Age 2 even tho its a 20+ year old game. Personally I learned RTS when I was like 5 years old with Age 2 so I don't find it mentally taxing/ I enjoy the battles when they come (and you get to choose when to attack yourself and where anyway, defending or dealing with raids is another matter)

Simulation I haven't played in a while, been waiting on Manor Lords to come out of early access, Cities Skylines 2 had mixed reviews etc.

But now that Civ 7 and 2 Point Museum 2 are out I might play a NEW sim game this year, if Ive got time. Probably just Civ 7 this year tho.


Edit: ALSO I tend to have more fun watching commentated matches for RTS, the pro players really makes things more fun than what I could do and you can learn the mechanics/strategies quickly in a fun way since you are just watching.
