When I was in high school and college, I enjoyed games that had a slower burn, like MMOs and JRPGs. I didn't mind grinding as long as I had friends to talk to or something interesting on in the background. I also didn't have much money to spend on games, so I was mostly F2P or using roms and emulators.
Now, I'm working full time and have a lot more responsibilities in my home life. These days I prefer games that I can jump right into and get a lot of fun/excitement out of with minimal setup or grinding, big bonus points if I can just pause or stop the game at the drop of a hat when my family needs me. I'm budgeting in an allowance for games now too, so I have access to a much wider range of games than I used to.
