I always prefered games that have farming involved, over fighting, shooting, and racing games. I always considered myself a fan of RPGs, but I think what I liked the most was gathering resources, getting better equipment, and leveling up. I remember being mad about Fallout 3 because it didn't let me play anymore after finishing the story. And I didn't care that much about the story, I just wanted to explore and make my character stronger.
Even in a rare case of me liking a racing, or a fighting game was Gran Tourismo 5 but mostly because it had grinding. I spent many hours doing the same race over and over to earn money and buy new cars. Same thing with Tekken 6. Farming money to buy new clothes. It's a dopamine thing like bluelander said.
But these days my gaming preference got shaped in a specific way. I mostly play games that allow me to listen to the podcasts and audiobooks like:
American Truck Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Diablo 3, Skyrim, Fallout 4, Factorio, Car Mechanic Simulator 2018, Farming Simulator 19, lately Astroneer (because I liked Vinny's and Brad's series), sometimes Minecraft.
Audiobooks are very cool. They let me know the books I wouldn't normally read.
