I love my favorite games and have been playing them for years, but I disliked about 99% of the games I played.

I don't think I have FoMO or anything; I just find it weird because my taste in music, film, or art/media in general is usually fairly broad. I guess I just wonder why my taste in games is aggressively limited.

It's not for the lack of trying new games; I've tried more or less anything I could find, sometimes because it's popular, other times because it looked interesting, but nothing really hits the mark like my favorite games.

I just don't like what most developers create, I guess?

I'm hoping, by posting this, maybe I can find others who are having a similar experience, and we can share thoughts.

obligatory but entirely sincere addition for those looking for palate cleansing games: Outer Wilds

But this is all from a flipside of a flipside, so each is as likely to appeal as repel, quick slide to catch clicks and clunks

God, Outer Wilds is one of the most incredible gaming experiences I have ever had.
