I messed up by making GoY my first ever game
I was never into proper gaming other than stuff I played on my phone but I kept seeing videos of Ghost of Yotei gameplay and I was already super into this genre of strong female samurai characters because of Blue Eyed Samurai and Shogun so I got the GoY edition PS5 and it was my first ever game. Then I played Ghost of Tsushima. And now I can't find anything else I like.
I've tried a bunch of things but turns out my interests are super niche and I don't really like anything else. What I want is a beautiful open world with amazing art direction that's more in the historical direction than futuristic and I prefer melee combat because I don't like guns/ranged combat. Also as a beginner I can't play anything too difficult.
I don't like assassin's creed (hate the art direction), red dead redemption II (not a fan of gunfights and and the setting is meh), hogwarts legacy (main story is boring but open world is nice for exploring), cyberpunk (not into guns again and too overstimulating), horizon zero dawn (not into ranged archery and I don't like the weird alien monsters), spiderman (not a fan of the swinging movement because it feels too limiting and concrete jungle).
I know I'm really picky but unfortunately if I don't like something I just don't like it. At this point I'm wondering if I'll ever find another game I like. I wish they would release another Ghost game tomorrow. Maybe if I'd started with other games that aren't as good I'd be less fussy but unfortunately I started with Ghost of Yotei and it ended up being The Game for me.
