Topic: What's your favorite game genre?

My personal pick might be metroidvania.

JRPGs

RPGs definitely. There is something inherently satisfying about getting stronger and stronger to the point where enemies that used to give you trouble are now easy to defeat.

1. Life Sim
The Sims games, Animal Crossing New Horizons

2. Rhythm
Dance Dance Revolution, Para Para Paradise, DrumMania, Beatmania IIDX, Pop'n Music, Keyboardmania, MaiMai, Wii Music

3. Farming Sim
Story of Seasons games, Harvest Moon games, Kitaria Fables, Fae Farm

It used to just mainly be shooters and platformers, but after playing xenoblade it’s.

1.platformers
2.Jrpg(or rpg)
3.shooters

Xenoblade change my view on rpgs, like I actually started giving them a chance, and while I haven’t played many in full, I want to.

I see no one is being honest.

RPGs for me! I've really gotten deep into them over the past couple of years 😅

I don't think I could ever narrow it down to one specific style of game, but the genres that tend to have a heavier focus on story/characters (RPG's, visual novels, adventure games, etc.) are easily the ones that stick with me the most (see almost every 10/10 in my Games Collection/Backloggd page XD).

Platformers, both 2D and 3D. Whether it's Mario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Sonic, or whatever... I love a good platformer. I like action/adventure games too, and honestly, I also like racing games quite a bit.

I organized my games into 36 different genres using folders and almost all of them have a game I really like. That said, I have 68 games in my 2D platformer folder whereas some genre folders only have 2 games so 2D platformer definitely wins. 😝

Using a different metric, the 14 games I rated highest on Switch includes 5 2D platformers, 3 3D platformers, 2 JRPGs, 1 life sim, 1 rogue-lite, 1 comfy adventure game, and 1 Tetris.

Platformers followed by JRPGs and the vague concept of action adventure

JRPGS, Visual Novels, Fighting, Metroidvania, Platforming and Puzzle. Also Beat em ups and shmups.

is Untitled Goose Game a genre?

The genre is Puzzle, because you have to figure it out how put or move certain things according to the assignments.

@Anti-Matter ah ok, makes sense

I think stealth-puzzle is the genre people typically stick it in, with a side of sandbox.

I've also seen people add pseudo-genres that are about tone or setting rather than gameplay such as 'animal' and 'humour'.

If you tried to list all the stealth-puzzle-sandbox-humour-animal games I assume it would be a very short list and 90% of them would be trying to copy Untitled Goose Game.

Considering Super Metroid 3 is my all-time favorite game, I'll go with metroidvania.

I'd have to go with Metroidvania, due to the fact that Hollow Knight, Metroid Prime, and Super Metroid are some of my all-time favorites.

Now you can join the never ending argument of whether Metroid Prime is a metroidvania. 😝

@FishyS Oh man, I didn’t even know it was an argument. But I mean, it goes without saying it’s in the metroidvania genre, even though it’s simply a Metroid game, right?
