Counterpoint, there are also games you tried and HATED as a kid, that you might now like as an adult.
As I kid I had a lot less need for quality story telling, and roll play, probably a lot less interest in gardening simulators too. There’s probably lots of stuff you thought you didn’t like.
My version of this is 4X games. I always was intrigued by them as a kid, but I wasn’t nearly patient enough or willing to put in the time to understand them. As an adult I’ve finally been able to enjoy them.

Roll play? Role playing as a roll?

Addicted to Craps, I gotta throw a couple each day, butt when I think about it - it’s really money down the toilet.

I’m the opposite. I played the hell out of 4x in college and early adulthood. Now, I just don’t have the time or patience for them.
I tried to get my nephews into pokemon nintendo games when they were like 10. Failed bad because “too much reading” and went back to Roblox…
Kids today something something attention spans what with the social media grumble grumble back when I was that age, dammit.
I remember hating Baroque on ps2 as a kid, but then I grew up, played Spelunky and finally got it what roguelites were doing, went back and liked it.
