My first reaction was "that's bullshit, of course I know what I want". I love story driven games in a grand world with some fighting, but it shouldn't be the focus. My favorite games are Horizon, Uncharted, Dragon-Age, Skyrim. But then I thought about all the similar games I don't like, like GTA, Ghosts of Tsushima, Red Dead Redemption, Fallout, Metal Gear Solid., Zelda.

And the crazy thing is, I agree with your description of games I like, yet my list is almost exactly opposite yours. I just finished Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom last night, I loved GTA and RDR, and I didn't particularly like Skyrim and only played about 15 min of Dragon Age.

My favorite games are really hard to describe without lumping in a bunch of games I don't like.
