Wrote a whole blog post about this that I won't link to BUT I landed on the term "Tactile Mystery Games".
I.e Games where you use systems / mechanics with the goal of unfolding a grand mystery (vs stuff like Phoenix Wright which is like, about deduction, but not of this same genre)

Fair enough! Not specifically speaking about you to be fair, more general discourse I've seen around the Internet pre / post release. Apologies if it seemed like I was dunking.

Though also contrasting this against the undeniable reality that had any critics gotten early access to Silksong and said it was notably difficult, they would have gotten harassed relentlessly. (For example: Shadow of the Erdtree)
