What games/genres benefit most from an SSD?

I have a 512 GB Sandisk X400 M.2 SSD, and a 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD (I don't know what brand, it's in a laptop). I know that open-world games benefit from an SSD, but what other genres or specific games do as well? My SSD isn't huge, and with most new games being 50+ GB, I really have to balance load times with storage space on my game installations, so I want to install only the games that benefit the most onto my SSD. My laptop specs include a GTX 1070, i7-6700HQ, and 16 GB DDR4 2400 MHz memory, so it's safe to say other factors won't be an issue.

Any single player games you play will benefit the most from an SSD because of the shortened load times.
