The obvious one is of course bullshit DRM or monetisation. The strongest example of games that I was really interested in but just skipped because of DRM are the new Hitman games. Online requirements for that is just garbage.
I also must say that I check howlongtobeat to see how much time I would need to make it through the core game. If it is more than 50 hours, it is an almost guaranteed pass, I don’t have time for that. Is it more than 30 hours, it will need something else to excite me. This is one of the reasons I haven’t bothered with the Persona games or a lot of other RPGs, it also isn’t my favorite genre in general, but there are some masterpieces I can get behind.
Some other types of games that I am usually immediately turned off by are the rogue-likes, make your own fun games (Minecraft etc), realistic sports games. Also most racing and fighting games post seventh gen.
Come to think of it, there is really very few modern games that do excite me, lol. For retro games I have a broader taste, but for new stuff I mainly enjoy horror/survival-horror, a couple of platformers and indie titles I feel really try to do something unique (Her Story to give and example).
