What are Genres:
Genres of the game can be anything as long as it balances the purpose and the gameplay. It also provides what people want in the game and moreover, it has different elements that depends whenever they want to play it with first/second/third person.
Mixing Genres
-
Mixing Genres can make things more enjoyable and interesting, especially when players have something more to do than just doing one thing in the game. Most Genres can have different interpretations of the game and they can mix genres like:
- Adventure + Racing
- Puzzle + Simulation + Mystery
- Adventure + Puzzle
- Horror + Puzzle
- Adventure + Simulation + RPG
-
Thanks to the mixing genres, Video game Genres have becoming evolve and innovate themselves. Sometimes, the Sub Genres can compare and make a similar platform to other games but, they can produce different elements.
3rd Person Game View:
- Playing games with 3rd person has different genres that puts them together. It's like using the Mixing Genres but with more improvement.
- An example of this game will be Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, this game is not only used for rpg adventure, but it's also allows player to experience the puzzle, mystery and simulation genre that will make it interesting.
Realism Game Videos:
- Video Games is not only used with 2D and 3D graphics but, it can be anything such as having a Full Motion Videos. In other words, a real life video game and it's called "Realism".
- Realism has benefits and drawbacks. It can improve the mystery + horror genre, especially when it comes to have a simulating experience in the game. They don't need to draw more fictional characters digitally.
- On the other hand, their drawbacks include that they have a face to be missing, they need more coordination and animation to show the person in the game so that, players can be able to identify and recognise them.
