whatever you want to call this genre since Im not getting into an arguement over hack and slash vs character action vs whatever

Is sports a real genre? I guess many of them have some similarities, but for example Fifa is really just an RTS, and Football Manager is Grand Strategy. And different sports games may have very different mechanics and little in common

I always distinguish it and games like it as being "more like DMC" or "more like DW" etc. when I have to distinguish what type of action game it is. If I had to pick a term, I would choose stylish action

>Rhythm is called Musical

Shit chart. The guy who made it probably only plays Sim type games.

Is Singstar also a rhythm game? Or is it a completely different genre?
>>
>>385956626
Sim is not one genre. It is at least a few. At the very least you have management and vehicle control sims as two completely separate genres, and possibly more.

>>385956418
A game more like DW is called a "musou"

No minecraft is good if you add enough interesting mods

Platformers and shmups are near and dear to my heart
I used to be super into turnbased RPGs as a kid, but now I can't stand how unengaging the typical RPG's combat is. If the combat is more interactive than "press a a bunch to win" it might be good.

>>385954979
open world is a sub-genre at best

What kind of genre would Action be anyway?
