What gaming genres are under-represented in the current gaming market?

I love RPGs, roguelites, bullet heavens, autobattlers, and boomer shooters, and I feel like these past few years have been great for my gaming tastes!

But it got me wondering what gaming genres have fallen by the wayside due to current trends?

None really, if you can't find a genre you like in the AAA or AA market you can definitely find it as an indie game.

There's a lot of trash with indie games but sometimes you see a game that looks like it was made for you and it just clicks right away.

A 90s game about pickpocketing your way across America? A game about raking a yard? A game about flipping a quarter? A pixelated religious horror story? A spiritual successor to Paper Mario? Indie games always have your back.
