I'm very open when it comes to games, except for horror and gore stuff.
My absolutely favorite genre is OpenWorld. I still remember as a kid my dream game was just being able to drive around a city and interact with it, buy clothes and dress your character and whatever (very weird I know...), and then playing GTA San Andreas for the first time really blew my mind. But in the end I just love the freedom of it, being able to jump and walk around everywhere.
Second to it I would probably put interactive movies, Telltale-ish as well as FMVs. I love all of those recent Telltale games, I just bought the majority of them and I love to be drawn into the story by being able to make choices. I know with Telltale games the story is always extremely linear and they haven't managed to put actual Point'n'Click puzzles in their games, but I just love it. And all those games have those weird artstyles so that everyone can play it and I really appreciate it.
I also love RPG, Simulation, Racing, Puzzle and Strategy and everything like it, but when it comes to those genres it really depends from game to game. I can enjoy all of those, but if the game is bad the genre will not save it for me in those games. I suppose a bad story will ruin story games too, but I'm very
open to OpenWorld games.
I don't know. I always find it hard to look for games based on genre, especially on Steam. Everybody just spams games with slightly fitting tags which is fine but kinda bugs me because it's hard to find the perfect mix of certain genres for yourself.

What's the difference between movie interaction and visual novels?
Movie vs Book. Visual novels usually let you just go through pages of dialogue with a neat grapic behind it with little to no cutscene whereas movie interaction are mostly movies where your only interaction is your choice. FMV are 100% movies and games like the Telltale ones usually have little sections where your character can walk around and look at things.
