As others said everything except really small freeware games, unobtrusive 3d exploration things, old 8bit RPGs like Dragon Warrior, maybe adventure games if I'd tried any of them recently.
Games that allow themselves to be taken as objects to be tinkered with at varying levels of focus instead of ones that assume a consistent level of effort and drive on the player's part as the water that makes the wheels go round, since it's just harder for me to raise the latter level of good faith for a videogame now. And ones with a more definite immediate sense of scope and context.
The Elder Scrolls and GTAlike games are weirdly exhausting to me considering they're just big playhouses... Is maybe awareness of discrepancy between the mechanics of playing them and the things that appeal to me about their setting, and the consistent low-level mental energy required to bridge that gap.
