They're shitty wastes of time and get worse every year. The market is only catering to massive multiplayer shooters, the rest of the genres are starving out of existence. The vicious cash grab of near identical sequels, microtransactions and sections of the game being blocked off as "dlc" are atrocious to say the least. 

Buy indie shit then, like Untitled Goose Game, or go for the stuff like Super Meat Boy or I Wanna Be the Guy if you want it to be hard, or maybe like Ninja Gaiden for something more 3D. 

You also can go back to the days of when games were still "Nintendo Hard". Even the original Megamans were somewhat unforgiving at points. 

We have a gigantic library of games and the majority of them are not commercial blockbusters anymore. 

 I don't like indie games or going back to play older games

Why? It's not like they all have shitty tank controls. 

Indie games are mainly metroidvanias

By that you mean being the small character on the larger screen exploring maps to find keys that make you backtrack way too fucking much? 

Most of them aren't that unless you're only looking into Teraria clones. 

and generally dont have the budget to give me the experience im looking for.

They're usually dirt cheap from just having developers wanting to get their names out there. They end up a bit shorter or simpler if it's not full blown passion project works like Bastion, but that also can get you more variety away from DotA clones, MMO mass production, and FPS abuse. 

A lot of them are also harder than the mainstream market's games, or otherwise have a mechanic in it where you never really need to stop playing it like randomly generated levels. 

Older games I just don't because it's flaws stick out glaringly from how far in the past it was. The few I would replay I've replayed to death

Which flaws in particular, graphics, and if far enough back poor controls for early 3D games? 

There's more than enough exceptions if you look through reviews of older stuff, they're dirt cheap typically from being older (or you can just use an emulator), and you need not accept mediocrity when it comes to games if you are willing to focus more on gameplay and less on it looking shiny. 

There's also a lot of games that are not mass market appeal that otherwise are quite good that are sold through Steam. Their collection in general is huge now with a lot of room for novelty and familiarity. 

I have played 200+ of games, and which games I play changes every now and then. But I mostly play RTS and FPS games (and specific MOBAs). But I have played RPG, MMO and others as well.

Games I no longer play, but deserve to be mentioned:

Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne -> epic story and epic editor, it is one of the first things that got me into programming as an idea. It gave birth to new genres, like MOBAs

Starcraft Brood War -> an even more epic story and the most hardcore RTS. I was too young to be truly good at it, but that never stopped me. Played the campaign 3 times.

Quake 3 Arena (esp with excessiveplus mod) -> I still see this as the best FPS game that has ever existed. It is: be good or lose. As all things should be.

Duke Nukem 3D -> well the main character is just badass and that is worth it alone, but otherwise the FPS is fun as well

Imperia Online -> a browser game, but it is the most fun experience in a video game I have ever had. It was a simulator of war. Economy, spies, alliances, grand armies, raids, technological advancements and all spread out in months of 24/7 gameplay. Now its pay to win and its boring. A true shame.

Here are some games I am not currently playing, but I do play often in general:

Stellaris -> when I feel like I need to spread xenophobic fascism across the cosmos, I play this. I have attempted to play other ideologies, but I can't, it eats me alive.

Skyrim -> I'd play this a lot more if all my mods didn't crash so often, so I just lose interest after a while, until i get back into it.

Starcraft 2 -> I've played the entire (3 + all Nova mission packs) campaign, 3 or 4 times, and I've gotten all the achievements. I was diamond and beating masters 1v1 at one point. But it is a commitment tbh and I've not been into it as much since.

Factorio -> I play it for a while like an addict, then I stop for a long while.

Quake Champions -> A great FPS game, but not as fun as its predecessor(Quake 3), still a worthy game.

Minecraft -> I play this for a few weeks every 5 months or so.

Here are the games I am playing currently:

League Of Legends -> I'd play this a lot more if it didnt take 40 minutes. But I do a few matches every 1-2 day. I just like to play with some specific characters. Also it becomes so much more fun once you don't get stressed over losing or if your teammates are bad or if they talk shit. Tbh I think this game might of helped me learn these facts in general. Plat 4, I play mid or sup, but as a person with over 4k games total(in the past I used to play A LOT, years ago), I have mained all roles.

Heroes of the Storm -> a better league imo lol, but I still play league, as each game has unique characters and I enjoy both. This game has no items or ability levels and all the experience of the team is shared. The games last about 20 minutes and it has multiple maps with different mechanics for victory. You level up talents at specific hero levels that empower your current abilities, often in a unique and fun way. You don't last hit and you can really focus on the fun part of MOBAs: the fighting. There are other mechanics for macro play in places, such as the map objectives and creep spawns and the fact that 1 hero has to be near minions to absorb team experience when they die.

Destiny 2 -> PD people play this and I got it and it is a fun shooter, but it idk how long it will last on this list.

World of warcraft -> so just recently my irl friends bought me WoW with all the expansions and a 1-month free subscription. They also play WoW. So I guess I will be playing this now lol.

Overwatch -> edit: forgot to add this one, I play it every now and then. I usually play only mercy.

I do not know which is my favorite, probl Quake 3 arena, as it is untainted like imperia online is now. Too bad no one plays it anymore either...

Most hated, i dont know because I forget about their existence if i dislike them.

People don't know what a 9 pool is until they live it.

Everyone should be playing Mario Kart Tour.
