Gaming has just become so popular that the top played games are a rather predictable "average" of the different tastes of a vast variety of gamers. But the average is always also quite boring (unless you're young and haven't seen this stuff yet a thousand times). You need to look into the niches and at the "genre edges" to find the interesting stuff. Especially Steam is full of really great "niche games". Just don't look at the top 10, you actively have to find the good stuff. Same with music btw.
