Well, yeah. Racing games, platformers, and action games are generally more comfortable with controller. Third person shooters, FPS, anything that requires aiming, or RTS games are still best done with mouse.

I don't really like playing platformers with a controller.

I played through Celeste, Super Meat Boy and Rayman on PC only with keyboard and played Super Meat Boy, Rayman and N++ on the switch. I prefer the keyboard.

For 3D games (even platformers) I prefer the controller though.

I prefer games that can be played with a controller to be played with a controller just to mix up the ways I fuck up my wrists
