Hello Guys,

I created a video that compiles almost every popular video game genre, watch it here:





The video describes how games are classified, and it gives examples for each game type it presents.

I hope you like it. I’d like to know your feedback.

Good video, I liked it! I'd have preferred fewer abrupt camera angle changes, but I suppose that's a matter of taste.

Those are some pretty vile TPS scenes... Can't believe people would want to make or play that.

Good video anyhow! Thinking concretely about what genres are out there helps in the decision making of one's own game as well.

Game genre is tricky to pin down sometimes. Sometimes we define by mechanics, or by controls, or even by camera angle.

There are horror games, which is the rare case where the genre is closer to how movies would define genres.

Very good video 
Did I miss Infiltration and Exploration games ? Or is this missing from the video ?
