Skyrim, Limbo, Stardew Valley.

Dragon Quest XI - I am a huge fan of the 8-bit and 16-bit DQ games. But I just couldn't get into DQ11.The atrocious music probably didn't help.

Assassin's Creed Origins the gameplay started getting repetitive very quickly. Even though I liked the ancient Egyptian settings and the beautiful graphics, I couldn't follow the nonsensical plot.

Burnout Paradise - this game is unplayable. You have to either look at the mini-map the entire time, or memorize the map.

I don't actively dislike it, but for me RDR2 is also the main one. Apart from competitive shooters etc which aren't really my thing either. The thing is, I like the type of game that RDR2 is. But I just have nothing with the setting. I played it right after Cyberpunk, which I loved for multiple reasons. One major thing is that I controlled V, and thus could create my own story. In RDR 2 I was forced to play someone I have nothing in common with, who does exactly the things I wouldn't do, and who lives in a shitty time period where basically every woman basically has the same rights as cattle. That may not be inaccurate, but it just didn't vibe with me. I just got so frustrated with the main character talking shit to people who were right, or drinking a lot and getting into trouble in a very predictable way. Despite the beautiful and interesting world I just couldn't feel anything but frustration.

I do get why people like it though, I don't think it's a bad game. Its just not for me.

I fucking HATE Souls-like games. I love fantasy and RPG games but FromSoft games are just hard for the sake of being hard.

I'm an adult with a life (kinda) - I don't have 600hrs to dedicate to defeating the fucking Taurus Demon. I even looked up HOW to kill it but apparently my controller usage wasn't good enough to move at speed even though I completed God of War 3 on the highest difficulty.

The fact I had to re-tread the same stupid fucking area before that to reach the fucking Taurus Cunt was to much.

I quit the game and vowed to never play another FromSoft game or anything that claimed to be a "Souls-like".

I stupidly listened to someone say Sekiro was a better game than Ghost of Tsushima (which I love). So I played it....

WTF?! The first group of enemies were all identical - no variations. There was also only TWO fucking moves I could perform. A wooden-looking block and a janky looking attack. An absolute fucking abortion of a game and I'm convinced the idiot who told me it was better than GoT had never played it.

Final Fantasy 7. I've tried to play it multiple times, but the game's story never pulled me in. And with how long of a trek it is between story moments and the slog of combat encounters I usually put the game down.

Ocarina of Time. It's one of the few Zelda games that I just didn't enjoy. I've had a lot more fun playing Twilight Princess and Wind Waker more than Ocarina. I'd play Adventure of Link more than Ocarina.

Skyrim. Mostly all the RPGs like that. Never understood the hype. I did try to like it, but it wasn't fun for me at all.

Nier Automata, I thought it was a bad pretentious story with a bad gameplay
The music is good tho

I realize this is an overgeneralization I'm making.

every game made since the ps2 was officially retired. I don't hate them because they're hard and I'm just not getting the handle of gameplay. I hate them for specific reasons:

1. the reliance on online modes. games used to be a singular affair between the player and the game. since 2008 online modes have become increasingly necessary to a requirement. with online modes comes a need for a server dedicated to that game. so what happens when the company shuts that server down? you're sol. and piggybacking on that
2. games are released buggy out of the box. before a game wasn't published until it was done. now it's released on a target date and patches get released along the way. so if you happen to be in a position where you have the physical media but no internet you could have a broken game and not be able to do anything about it. I just think about that situation with the tony hawk game where the manus didn't ship the game on the disc and players had to download the entire game as an "update". and what's going to happen when that server shuts down?
3. games are moving to downloads instead of on physical media. I'm a full believer in you buy a game you own it. some game publisher just said recently that players shouldn't own their games anymore. gaming is going to move to a streaming model where you own a service (console/platform) and games will move on and off it when a licensing deal expires. sorry I don't want any part of that.
4. games made that don't require you to be online to have any kind of gameplay are becoming rare. I'm the game player that plays the game just to play the game and doesn't want to play against another human player online. my competitive juices don't flow that way. I'm perfectly fine playing against the game's ai.

tldr the internet killed gaming for me.

anything with turn-based combat as a core mechanic is an instant skip, nothing else about the game matters

Rouge likes. I just can't get into them. The only one I was able to sink any kind of time into was Hades. I actually enjoyed it a decent amount, but I find the gameplay loop for roguelikes just wears me out pretty quickly

Any of the Paper Mario or Super Mario RPG games. Maybe I'm not the target audience, but I've often felt that without the Mario name they would be considered mediocre.

Alongside this, basically every 3D Sonic game. I feel that Sonic has become a thing for furries, and that the 3D games just don't really seem to get what a Sonic game should be. Frontiers was somewhat decent in the open world aspect, but its constant reliance on the homing dash just highlights how buggy those games are.

Undertale and For Honor

Undertale is a decent enough game, I guess, but whenever I think about it, I think about all the crazies that call themselves fans of it. It's exhausting just thinking about it.

For Honor got me interested, but it made a few very bad choices. Magnet hands and slow attacks meant that you could react to attacks, and never had to worry about whiffing. It's so dull to have basically no concept of interesting movement play in a game about fighting.

Dota and League of Legends. The moba format simply doesn't click with me. Them being hyper competitive doesn't help, and I'm someone who played plenty of UT2004 during my late teens
