Making peace with liking very few games? (piefed.social)

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.

And then there's...

82% Positive? Are you shitting me?

82% positive just means that out of everyone who decided to buy it in the first place, 82% feel like they got what they expected. If you don't expect greatness, then perhaps this game is exactly what you thought it'd be.

... Maybe it's in the tradition of Magritte? "This is not a game."
