Most autistic game genre?

Sort by date Sort by votes
Taking the question literally (ie. 5% autismo mode)- Whichever genre that has minimal-to-absent non-verbal communication (which is many), does not involve social interaction (rules out any multiplayer), is exceptionally repetitive, has minimal variation in environment or gameplay, and seldom includes human voice.

Owing to those limitations, I'd argue that the greatest number of titles that near-fully (or fully) match that criteria are Retro games (OG, not neo-Retro). The best example that comes to my mind is Tetris.

In a more modern setting, I'd also argue that the 'speedrun' meta-genre counts for 2D platformers, alongside exceptionally repetitive titles, such as that silly Flappy Bird game from the early 10's.

Some tie between

Space simulations (like Kerbal being the most masculine game of all time)
Space games in the sense of EVE, Elite, No Man's Sky (extremely autistic fanbase that expects these games to replace a life)
Grand strategy (massive history autism that is completely alienating to a normalfag, knowing what the principalities of the Holy Roman Empire are is not going to get you pussy)
Vehicle simulators, like trains

Dating simulators? Or Visual Novels, specially if it involves anime, but RPGs can be as well.

Undertale for example has dating simulators and anime references, is an RPG, and everyone knows how dislikeable its fanbase is (in general).

Pokémon can be too, it's always due to people who take it too seriously and think they're better than everyone else.

Paradox games in general are the most accessible true autism games. The we n there's games like gary grigsby's war in the east that separate the autistics from the true autistés. DCS is an honorable mention. I wouldn't call games like civ 5 autism games just because they're really accessible, even though they probably strike a special chord for autistics.
