I don't think I have FoMO or anything; I just find it weird because my taste in music, film, or art/media in general is usually fairly broad. I guess I just wonder why my taste in games is aggressively limited.

It's not for the lack of trying new games; I've tried more or less anything I could find, sometimes because it's popular, other times because it looked interesting, but nothing really hits the mark like my favorite games.

I just don't like what most developers create, I guess?

I'm hoping, by posting this, maybe I can find others who are having a similar experience, and we can share thoughts.

This is me with current books and music. For books, common styles of prose or an abundance of certain tropes used now simply don't hit with me, and I've even gone back to mid-to-late 20th century books recently to try to avoid all that.

I'd say the best way to try to broaden your taste is to make sure you're touching on the hits in different genres, and--if you can handle dated gameplay and visuals--to go back and try games from previous generations as well.
