What's your top 3 favorite genres?
👇👇👇
My Favorite 3D Game Genres are Simulation and Horror
Like 3D Game Genre Which is Simulation Includes Job Simulator and Any Retro Synthwave Games
And Horror Which Includes Poppy Playtime and Choo-Choo Charles
But You Spelled "Simulation" Wrong in Simulation. It Spelled "Situation" Instead
Mine are horror, sandbox and RHYTHM!
My Favorite 3D Game Genres is Simulation Which Includes VR Games in 2050 Archives with Any VR Retro Synthwave Games
And Horror Which Includes Choo-Choo Charles and Phasmophobia
There are many subgenres and game formulas inside those genres. I would categorize games in this way:
ACTION: FPS (arena shooter / twitch shooter / boomer shooter / looter shooter / hero shooter / battle royale/ "realistic" shooter / immersive shooters), third-person shooters
ARCADE: shoot-em-up (shmup), platformer, metroidvania, top-down games
ADVENTURE: point-and-click quest, walking simulator, visual novel.
FIGHTING: 2D and 3D fighting games, beat-em-up, hack&slash
RPG: cRPG, jRPG, arcade RPG (Diablo clones, Roguelikes), action RPG (Witcher, Elder Scrolls games, Souls-likes, etc), MMORPG
STRATEGY: turnbased or realtime (RTS, 4x Strategy, Tactical strategy, Management/Tycoon strategy), Tower Defence. There also a Action/FPS strategies (Battlezone, Hostile Waters, etc) and RPG/RTS (Spellforce)
SPORTS: racing games (arcade or realistic) and all kinds of sports
SIMULATORS: Vehicle Simulators (airplanes, spaceship, ground vehicle), Profession Simulator, Life Simulator
PUZZLE: usually logic games
RANDOM-BASED: casino games, tabletop, card games
MOBA - mix betweeen strategy, RPG, and action
Survival - basically action games with progression, crafting and maybe some RPG elements
Horror - I would say horror is an element of the setting and story, not genre defining factor.
rhythm, roguelike, tower defense, deck builder, survivors, arcade, virtual novel, story driven, point and click, clickers/idler
Stealth
Social deduction
Wow, thats alot
Moba
Beat 'em ups, bullet hells, soulslikes, cozy games, walking sims, text adventures, rail shooters, metroidvanias, monster tamers, boss rushers
Not me expecting an intro, opened the video and was like “OH DAMN OK LETS GO”
Some first-person shooters don't let you swap the weapon your holding, but rather swap your the character how you are playing. These are the hero shooters, which allows you to play as different characters, each welding different weapons and having different abilities. Hero shooters are generally not as violent than other shooters, with them having little blood and no swearing.
I think it should be a sub-genre along with Tactical Shooter, Third Person Shooter, Arcade Shooter, etc
And the difference is what? Whether I switch between two weapons like in Halo or switch between two characters to get different weapons to use, the genre didn't change. Hero shooter? Stop making shit up on the toilet. Just flush it.
can you make a video on Optimizations and the way Games Optimize their Game. I like your videos
Thnx 4 being right to the point
Part 2 When?
My favorites - action, beat em up/hack and slash, horror, racing, shooter, platformer, educational, arcade
That is a good start. I might disagree on Legend of Zelda shown in the RPG field as it is an adventure type game. On the game pak it read: Adventure Series.
I would also add roguelike
Not a genre. Other NON-genres are: soulslike, metroidvania, boomer shooter. Just Millennial bullshit.
Some additional details:
1: Sometimes, you will hear action games in the context of DMC\Platinum style games, which follows a beat-em-up style of gameplay that prioritizes stylish play. Most commoners call these "Character action games", but you'll still hear people just refer to them like normal.
2: Adventure games are typically referred to as "action-adventure" because they'll feature elements of "regular" action games, because if they didn't have them, it would be too boring.
3: There are two types of horror: Survival and regular. Regular horror is mostly just for scaring people, but survival horror is more akin to Resident Evil, where the core of the experience is figuring out how to make your character survive using very limited tools.
4: The Legend of Zelda (Shown frequently in this section) is not a typical RPG. It's more akin to a regular adventure game.
Most people will refer to RPGs as the ones where you're given tons of stats to level up, and ones with an abundance of side-content.
While Zelda TECHNICALLY fits within these guidelines, it's very different to what most RPG players will expect.
5: Of course, there's two different types of strategy.
One is real-time, and the other is turn-based. I think you can probably guess the difference.
6: When you see someone say "fighting game" they're usually referring to the ones where you directly face-off a real person playing the game, and your goal is to drain their health bar to zero. (AKA Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat)
Since Smash Bros. is so unique in this regard, they just call games like that "Platform fighters".
If your game involves fighting multiple different AI characters, we call them beat-em-ups. (To prevent things like Sifu appearing on "best fighting games" in Game Awards 2022)
Also, fighting games are cool.
7: Tetris here is what's known as a "block puzzle game", because the puzzles here are not pre-created, (Like in Portal) but you do plenty of puzzling there.
8: Racing games come in two forms. Arcade and simulation. With arcade mostly focusing on "less realistic" and simulation focusing on "more realistic"
However, as you can imagine, many, many racing games love to blur the line between these.
So it's more of a spectrum rather than a genre.
9: Just plain sports games are way too boring.
Because of this, cool developers created games that involve the use of sports (Eg. Soccer) and actually make it play like a proper video game.
By far the most famous example of these are Wii Sports, NFL Blitz, and the publishing label EA Sports BIG. (Made SSX and NBA Street)
So not all sports games are actually like Madden, in the sense of literally just trying to be a direct copy of real sports.
10: Most shooters are referred to as "FPS" games, (First Person Shooter) and even those have their own separate genres.
You'll hear some categorized as "movement shooters" because they'll focus on smooth movement through stages, while shooting enemies. (Obviously great example of this is ULTRAKILL)
And part of the reason why it's called FPS is because Fortnite is not first person.
11: There's also what people will call collectathons. And the concept for these is basically just "like Mario 64", where you explore open-ended environments to collect all of the collectible items. They're usually 3D games. But then there's FEZ, (Seen at 2:39) which is kind of a collectathon, and it's TECHNICALLY 3D, but trying to think any further will make your brain hurt.
12: Of course, The Sims is very different to Farming Simulator. As a result, you'll sometimes hear these referred to as "city-builders" or just straight-up strategy games.
13: You can find many different examples of games which involve survival, but don't really get considered as survival games.
Generally, survival games will revolve around you spawning in a randomly generated environment, and your first goal will usually be to build shelter to survive.
...that concept sounds familiar...
14: Sandbox games will usually be moreso a subgenre rather than a genre. And the reason why is because of games like Teardown. It's a heist game, but the amount of freedom you get in it allows you to express yourself in more ways than something like Payday.
Minecraft and Terraria then, are sandbox survival games.
15: A lot of educational games will be referred to as "Edutainment games", which peaked around the 90s, and they were sold as actual video games in actual stores.
So Kahoot is not edutainment, because it's a free browser game that's mostly played in schools.
i ain't reading allat 💀
This is not additional details this is a sequel 💀
“some”
What about runner games?
Also I found a mistake in 2:41 :
At the top, it shows sports not racing
Tis is now the COMPLETE OFFICIAL GAME GENRE reference for the internet
Immersive Sims, Stealth, Roguelikes, Roguelites
Rogue itself was an RPG.How many "roguelikes" are RPGs? Now you see how dumb that is. Stealth can be in terms of strategy for the most or action like in Tenchu Stealth Assassin or Metal Gear Solid. Imersive Sim is just that: simulation.
Part 2 When? Liked and Subbed with Notif Bells.
Does Hack n' Slash and Beat'em Ups count as genres?
More like subgenres of action and fighting genres, respectively
I think if you make a part 2, you should do dungeon crawlers
Don't forget RTS games they are many of these genre games including : "Command & Conquer" and "Dune 2000" .
and we also don't forget about :
-tycoon . idle . indie . rhythm games . and many more.......(plz part 2 :3)
Adventure games focus on storytelling, puzzles, and exploration in large virtual worlds. Horror games aim to invoke fear through atmospheric storytelling and frightening imagery. RPGs allow players to take on roles, embark on quests, and shape narratives. Strategy games require tactical thinking and resource management.
Every Steam Game Tags explained please?
My top tiers are Rpg, Strategy, Adventure, Action and survival in this order.
my favorites are: action, adventure, rpg, fighting, Shooter, survival and sandbox and sometimes educational are mega fun when everybody on class is named Goofy Ahh💀
Wtf I didn’t even realise this video just came out
If I had to do a top 3 list, I would say 1. Survival, 2. Simulation 3. Horror
Yeah
what about shmungus?
I like action, rpg, and fighting,
Stealth, Metroidvania, and Rogue-likes could be covered next.
Metroidvania is a platformer subgenre. Roguelike is more of a progression type because it can be implemented in almost every genre
Stealth is mostly strategy, action or both mixed up. Rogue was an RPG. Metroidvania is a word created from two franchise titles.
My fav is Platforming
Can you do one about coding languages? (C++, c#, lua, JavaScript, python, c, java, etc)
He did not too long ago
@@NobleLife. ?
@@NobleLife. Oh thats the game engine one
@@NobleLife. Coding languages and Game engines are 2 different things
what about tycoon games or idle games
Tycoon games are mostly simulations. And what are idle games? The fuck?
Blud forgot half of them
no way 2:42 is a Rocket League because the genre named it sports
The Racing part of the video says sports
oops 😅😅
Make A Video > Game Style > 2D - 3D - Pixel - Comic Style - Square (Minecract) - And More....✨
I need this for making games. new sub
Cool.
Survival sandbox
It's hard to be comprehensive with genres since they scale down to the smallest little details. If you're looking to make a part 2 I'd recommend checking games databases to see what kinda genres you can find. Places like mobygames, or maybe even flashpoint are good starting points
And did ChatGPT write this?
WWW video bro 🔥
Thanks 🔥
Add tower defense next
Like strategy?
where tower defence
But that’s just a theory a game theory
Rage game. Like; getting over it, only up, i am bread, and suika game.

No.
Do you even get what I'm saying
Sadly you forgot roguelikes :(
Every?
Metroidvania
that is just a word crafted from two franchise titles.
Can you please rate my puzzle game. Not finished.
Bro forgot Stealth
strategy. many times action strategy like Metal Gear Solid or Tenchu Stealth Assassin. Do you research before you talk?
wait this gives me a great idea
Video narrator does not know what " Realistic " means.
1: game i am working on that i am not gonna share the name of

3 Baldur's gate: enhanced edition
all RPGs and one of those is a rougelike
Roguelike, Roguelite
Not genres. Both of them are not. Rogue the game from 1980 was a role playing game.
Bro employed chat gpt to write his scripts 😂.
Bro, a brazilian guy are coping yo💀💀

@@stopshutgames Lua Ludica
Cheese
Actually, The all game is simulation
No. Like not everyone is as dumb as you.
the lack of power I have over the likes is insane
Hello you should talk about my game
What Game
The legand of Zelda is not an RPG
it's an adventure game
I agree with you here. But coming from the mind of a certain creator/game developer Zelda sprang from the idea to create a type of easy to understand RPG. Not kidding. But even then they dubbed this game as such part of their "adventure" series. We can say the action adventure was born out of the RPG corner.
@@niemand7811 just because a new genre stems from a pre-existing genre does not mean the new genre and the old genre are the same genre. Yes, they may be similar but they're not the same. Otherwise the categorisation of the new genre would be redundant wouldn't it?
@@ultimate_pleb I agree.
@@niemand7811 ok then
