For me, if I ever hear "card-based" or "soulslike" I have absolutely no desire to play a game, no matter how many people reccomend it.

I'm also not a huge fan of modern "roguelikes" but I've sunk days into nethack and games like that.

Soulslike is an instant turnoff for me too. I'm kinda picky when it comes to games, plus it's hard to get recommendations because I have pathological demand avoidance and my tism brain interprets a suggestion as a demand 😩

I don't really like PvP games too much because I can get really competitive and I have really low frustration tolerance. Co-op is okay but I'd only play with people I know of friends that ask me to play.

I mainly play JRPGs and single player games but anything that has to rely on unfair mechanics or RNG to raise difficulty I completely avoid 🤷🏿‍♂️
