For me it's first person puzzle games. I can think of maybe a dozen off the top of my head that came out in the last decade. I especially enjoy when they're open world. The ability to just quit a puzzle that's stumped you and go try something else for a little bit is incredibly refreshing.

Sandbox MMORPGs, like Eve Online or Ultima Online. The vast majority of MMORPGs since at least WoW (potentially even before that with games like Dark Ages of Camelot, etc) have been Theme Park MMOs. Which are fun; I've played plenty and still do play them. But I think the sandbox is more fun. Certainly has more possibilites.

Outlands 😎 is breathing some new life into UO.

Oh yeah? I haven't played UO since 2003/2004, and I've largely stayed away from the free shards. Just had boring experiences in the past. But I might give this a try. Idk why, but I've been itching to check it out again. thanks!
