I really like metroidvania structured level design as long as it complimentary rather than the main appeal of a game. I didnt like metroid dread much for that reason.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Crpgs(bg, pathfinder, etc.), imm sims(deus ex, dishonored, etc.), metroidvania/soulslike( dark souls, hollow knight, etc.), action rpg's(cyberpunk, mass effect, etc.), stealth(splinter cell, hitman, deus ex, etc.)

edit: yeah I know most of the stealth stuff are immersive sims like dishonore/dex but whatevs.

Shooters
RPG

Only counting moba because Paragon: Overprime is being prepared for release on PS5 and I only play Smite because waiting for Overprime on PS5 is taking forever.

Survival because I needed a 5th genre.
