For me it's first person puzzle games. I can think of maybe a dozen off the top of my head that came out in the last decade. I especially enjoy when they're open world. The ability to just quit a puzzle that's stumped you and go try something else for a little bit is incredibly refreshing.

God games: the whole genre basically peaked with Populous and B&W and then just went quiet.

Space adventure games like Freelancer or X are also very rare nowadays.

Still fairly old, but newer than B&W: From Dust . Replace trainable animals with fluid physics and light hearted songs with didgeridoos, and it's kind of similar.
