I mainly stick with first person shooters. It's been a while since I played anything else. Do you stick with one genre or do you play all of them?

I used to play only 1 genre (Fifa, Madden, hack n slash), now I widen my horizon a bit more, playing RPG (JRPG as well as Western rpg), FPS, TPS, brawler, Strategy RPG.

I play many genres to the point where it's kind of a problem. There is not enough time for me to play all the games I'm interested in.

My main genre is JRPG for sure

But I do play action games like God Of War, Shadow Of the Colossus, The Last Gardian

I do play platformer like Mario, Tearaway and Little Big Planet

Racing is more complex ... I enjoy Mario Kart and sometimes Burn Out but it is pretty much it

In fighting genre I play Mortal Kombat and Naruto Shippuden ( if we can call it a fighting game )but back in the SNES days I played all of them

Shooter ... not that much, I have a hard time enjoying those but I played Killzone 2 and 3, Unreal Tournamen 3, Borderlands Serie and a little bit of DOOM 2016 ( I'm not enjoying that one that much ) I also did play Bioshock 1 and 3 but it was really meh to me.

I don't play sport game at all and avoid openworld as much as I can, otherwise yeah I play a wide variety of stuff I think.

This is kinda funny, as it depends on the console for me.

On PS4 and 360 I only play racers, sandboxes and open world RPGs.

On PS2 and other old consoles, I play anything I can get my hands on, from ace combat to golf.

I play pretty much every genre except RTS. My favorites are old school platformers, JRPG, survival horror, and racing (sim or kart IDGAF).

Some genres like JRPG and MOBA are filled with trash, and others like RTS and MMORPG are only good for a select few games (StarCraft and GW2 respectively). Beyond that, there's no telling what I'll enjoy.

One of my most played genres is Musou (Senran Kagura, Sengoku Basara, Dynasty Warriors)

I also play a lot of Action RPG (Tales of, Witcher, FF15, etc).

I hardly play any Shooters, with only of my favourites are Tomb Raider and little Uncharted (and that's mostly because of they are action adventure like AC, also being one of my favourites)

But yeah, just give me a Musou/ Action RPG and I'll be pleased.

@narlymech: I play what catches my eye but I do crave different genres from time to time.

I play all genres, or I try to. Problem is I game exclusively on PC, so a lot of Japanese games (specifically JRPGs) are not available, and a few genres don't do too well (sports, fighting) on PC imo. I'm tempted on occasion to get a Playstation but...no.

The one genre I haven't actually tried, despite it's popularity, is the MOBA genre. Although I'd called that more of a subgenre, it's still a strategy game, right?

I just got done with a marathon 2-hour session (that's a long time for me these days...) of Stonehearth, a really great indie town-builder in early-release.

Before that I was revisiting Kingdoms of Amalur, a criminally unsuccessful action-RPG from infamous 38 Studios. It's like an offline MMORPG, action-RPG lite...kind of fun. A nice alternative to the Fable series.

And for the most part I generally play about an hour or two of Battlefield 1 each day, a shooter.

So yeah...I dabble :P

I'm really big on fighting games like Mortal Kombat Deception, RPG games such as Xenoblade, and FPS games such as 007: Nightfire. Other likes include WWE wrestling games such as Day of Reckoning (still one of the greatest wrestling games for my money)

It would be easier to name the kinds of games I don't play. Some genres I rarely play like First Person Shooters as well as Rhythm games, Puzzle games, MMOs, and racing.

But the games I never play and try to avoid-

Sport Simulators, Life Sims, Story-QTE games, and walking games

I play everything but I tend to avoid fighting games, turn based RPGS, RTS, Hack and Slash, and Beat em ups. I tend to embrace more shooters, racing games, 3rd person action/adventure games, open world games, platformers and miscellaneous casual games.
