What would you consider a "redflag" when looking up a new game to play?

biggest red flag possible for me is if the game is based on the feeling of nostalgia if the devs were not alive back then
for example shit like undertale

metroidvania. I like metroid, I like classicvania, but for some reason metroidvanias are usually a miss for me.

The vast majority of this type of /v/ posts are lies. They take an actual company photo in the past and compare it to a "Women in Games" industry seminar visit photo that includes 1 company representative and everyone else in the picture is a guest. Like that one Remedy picture.

Sports in general. Sometimes these can be okay like Golf Story, random tennis games, or the Mario games but in general sports games are ass across the board.
Indie Metroidvanias. Not all of them are bad but you really gotta look at what it is because it's almost always going to be forgettable. Low budget ones can sometimes turn out okay like Skautfold when you go into it expecting the low budget one dev game, but in general it's just a mess of a genre.
An indie game that's a deck builder. Non-indies seem to do this fine, but indies immediately go to the roguelike deck builder well and never stop.
Roguelike.
Focus on optional co-op despite being a singleplayer game because it means it nearly always has some sort of issues playing it singleplayer.
Crafting.
Survival, especially with crafting.
RPG games by indies. If it's not aping Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger specifically it's very likely to be an RPG Maker game about depression.
Indie puzzle games because they're either going to be those puzzle games where you do it like the dev intended or you don't clear it, or it's going to be so easy you fall asleep.

Oh yeah, and "comfy" as a tag. You know that means it's a coin flip if that game was being made by someone who is mentally ill and trying to push their world view through childish settings or someone who wanted to make a short game on a small budget and there's very little overlap.

I only enjoy the anime / manga artstyle of the 80s and 90s, modern anime looks disgusting to me, and I don't click with any of its themes

If I see a single female character that's not hot that's a skip for me. Only reason to put those in games is if your target audience is not exclusively men, and all good games are made exclusively by and for men.
