Basically any SRPG but if I had to choose one I would say Fire Emblem; this gente always leaves me bored with how long combat takes.
Though I am powering through, on easy, in Hundred Line Last Defense Academy because the story is that good.
A friend tried to get me into Half-Life multiple times and I just cannot get into it.
It's a fast-paced FPS game, which means I'm likely to get dizzy after some time but something about the ambience makes it worse than usual. I can play Skyrim for up to 1.5 hours at a time, Minecraft or Fortnite for 45-60 minutes, but I'd be lucky to play 20 minutes of Half-Life without my head pounding.
Plus, it's a linear, story-based game, and I'm more into games based more on mechanics and progression (like Pokémon, Factorio, Cities Skylines, Civ, Balatro, and incremental games) than story. And at least for as long as I've tried to play it, there isn't even much of a story.

Metroid*
Animal crossing.
And back when this was a thing, Candy Crush.
Any of the big popular RPG series. I got through Mass Effect 2 (it was on offer for a quid) but have no desire to go back, and I know that’s one of the more action-based games. I also played Witcher 3 up to Skellig but just can’t bring myself to finish it.
Warcraft
Bioshock. I tried the first game and liked the story and atmosphere, but got bored of the gameplay every time I've tried it
I love the first BioShock but couldn't get into the other two because it didn't feel like they took the gameplay anywhere new.
Almost all of them. The only real thing that I played with pure joy was Minecraft, Cities Skylines, Planet Coaster and Sims series. I think its pretty clear what games do I like.
Anything with story/ending I find them unbearably boring and tedious. I'll play Cities Skylines for hours though.

Mega Man, no matter how much time I put into trying to grasp the controls and mechanics, it just never clicks.
Xenoblade Chronicles
The turn based but also realtime combat makes me so uncomfortable.
