    I'm done with FPS/adventure/role playing games. There is absolutely nothing novel about this genre to keep my attention.

    The last two games I played -- Alien Isolation and SOMA -- are exactly similar: Walking around the corridors of an unfamiliar building with a thousand rooms, because you're looking for a wielding torch needed to get into a locker, which has the key to a portal, which leads to a power generator needed to power up an elevator, which worried the cat, that killed the rat, that ate the malt that lay in the house that Jack built
    Add gathering materials, hoarding ammo etc to the mix -- It's like having a second job to come home to.

    Fallout 4 -- once every year I install this game, only to uninstall it the next day.
    Death Stranding -- I hated the game just by looking at the cover, esp. that multilevel rucksack the main character is wearing.

    The only game I return to from time to time is GTA V. I have two mods: time scaler and custom radio. I set the time to evening and just drive around aimlessly listening to some music.

    What I want is the gaming equivalent of a "road movie". A rambling, atmospheric open world with no plot or purpose. Ideally if I can drive a car in it. If they can add the same weather/rain effects as in DriveClub, I would be ecstatic.
