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.

Huh, that must be where the original name for Runescape (DeviousMUD) came from. Didn’t know it was a whole genre of games

Granted it’s not text based, so I could definitely be wrong.

Whoa that’s a nice piece of trivia. Did some googling and it definitely has roots in MUDs, but Andrew obviously had higher ambitions visually. That’s cool.
