Your definitions could be the issue.
Survival games can be a lot of fun, and are a new genre as a result of the indie game scene.
The rogue lite selection is also quite fun.
I really can’t discuss what games are “good” to you without knowing your preference. Without being the original, the new XCOM (first, not second) was a quality game. It had depth of strategy and tactics in it’s own format.
Faster than light was a great roguelike with similar easy to grasp, interesting to master gameplay (although the random aspect normalized that a bit much for my liking).
Witcher 3 is just plain excellent, while the controls can be sub par in combat.
On the other hand the souls series have the tightest action rpg combat I have seen.
Depending on what you like the past decade has had tons of options.

Wasn't the survival genre invented back on the NES and then kind of perfected when Resident Evil released about 20 years later? My poison are dungeon crawlers. The ones were you make your own party. But not the ones were the characters are westerners like Wizardry. The ones were the characters are cute anime girls.
I hate games with cutscenes and with stories that take the game longer than a couple of words to deliver to you. Best games are the ones that deliver story through gameplay. The best game of all time is imho Metroid III. I enjoy metroidvania like titles, but only the 2D ones. I think 3D in games that only really have two dimensions (like metroidvania) is cancer. I also enjoyed the early first person shooters, like Wolfenstein 3D, Duke Nukem 3D and Doom, but since they went 3D (like Quake) they kind of turned to shit. I liked it better when you didn't need a mouse to play them.
