My mans. I need an addendum for Board Games, Clicker games (like Cookie Clicker), and Card Games (some CCG's are video game exclusive). also... No mention for "The Game of Life" even as a joke. Flash games were pretty good for their time too

[@danielsurvivor1372]

Party games are usually board games too, have you seen the examples he showed? No fr, WHICH board game isn't even a party game as well unless you mean real life board games on a paper. Clicker Games are Z tier for literally no redeemable qualities. Card games don't seem tk deserve their own subgenre, Ig C tier?

[@TeejSSX16]

Where do racing games fall? Need for Speed, Forza, Gran Turismo, etc. Would you consider them under sports or simulation, or its own genre?

[@ICEknightnine]

There's also sports non-simulation (or "EXTREME" games) which merge with the sports categories. literally games built to value fun over realism.

[@I_Am_The_Social_Reject]

Resident Evil 2 and 4...... casual words. Horror is S tier. When a solid horror game is revealed, we take notice. Also disagree about souls likes. My least favorite part of then are vague stories. Its the metroidvania style exploration which isn't simple, is the main appeal. I really can't pair games like XIII and Doom and Half Life with Call of Duty and Battlefield. The campaign is just there. It's just competitive shooters.

[@smergthedargon8974]

The vague stories are part of the fun! It's fun having to actually discover the story instead of it being spoonfed - and you're usually told enough to understand why you're doing what you're doing.

7:14 that’s a big complaint of mine for rougelites/likes. Repetitive combat and content, grinding for the same materials over and over is super boring.

[@danielsurvivor1372]

I only rank them A tier personally for giving us Binding of Isaac Rebirth(+all it's DLCs). Isaac alone carries Rogue Like/Lite genre. Rogue Legacy is alright but not same beast as Isaac and the rest are forgettable

Missed immersive sims, point-and-click narrative adventure games, puzzle games, i also think you should have ranked action rpgs, crpgs and jrpgs separatively, would also say survival horror and walking simulator horror should be seen as different genres, but that is all nitpicking at this point, very good video.

[@danielsurvivor1372]

Immersive sims being left out is near gaming crime, it's the genre of THE Deus Ex Franchise, the one still being copied for it's brilliant gameplay.

[@evik1472]

Nice video, actually enjoyed it! You forgot the S-tier Metroidvanias!!

[@mathiasdownhouse2097]

I love stuff like this. Faceless small youtuber who I have never heard of makes a list that is 100% opinion based. But those opinions were pretty good ones.

[@s76productions30]

no fucking way this has less than 1k view i genuinely thought i was watching some mainstream game review channel untill i checked this is top tier man

[@Synchro-tq1mo]

I think the genres are more intertwined than it feels at first , battle royal games can FPS or TPS , most of souls likes can be classified as RPGs , Open word games can be RPGs or Action adventure which can be both at the same time , most of the genres you used are broad , and let not forget Metroivenias

[@danielsurvivor1372]

Here's my tier list(I'll also provide a second rating trying to judge how much value the genre provided, but the first rating is strictly my own): F Tier: Gacha Games(F both in personal enjoyment and ESPECIALLY in it's impact on gaming) In their very slight defence, those games came from even darker era, from era of *Korean MMOs(or even regular MMOs too) and mobile games* if you think Gacha games are bad, ya haven't played or seen mobile games or MMO games more. Gacha games ate unironically an improvement on korean MMOs and mobile games in terms of greed, they became way less greedy and even have pity system where eventually if you unbox enough, you'll still get the reward. But that's like a very slight defence of them(also I don't really think monetisation system should get it's own genre, if that's the case where are subscriptions genre or F2P genre?). Romance games also get F in both personal and overall rating. No debates with you, you were spot on about them. Sports, Personally for me it's F tier but I think there's very very weak arguement for them to be D tier overall because some of them are good. MOBAS get an ez F tier in btoh categories. Literally mobas are why e sports are viewed as a joke, a toxic one at that. Seriously who even plays them or spectates them??? This sht is more mind numbing then strategy games which actually take brain power but mobas are also not really action-y and skill based, you just click... Souls like only get F tier from me personally, and maaybe B tier overall. I'm sorry but I don't see an appeal from goofy aah hack and slash that doesn't have hack and slash and just has "wait, dodge, block, heal and maybe get a hit in" but I can't rank it lower than B for it's influence in gaming, cmon it got it's own subgenre, it deserves a B at least. D Tier: Party games get D from me personally, but I can see an C tier argument due to their staying power and some unique ideas. TPS get D tier for being one of the worst shooter genres(seriously why we separating shooters by FPS and TPS?) idk how you can play shooter not in first person, maybe if it's also an rpg, say FNV yoy can olay both fps and tps, but still, don't see an appeal and I don't see them having any influence on gaming, so D tier from me and overall. Rhythm games also get D tier in both, they're basically simulator games that got a fancy subgenre for themselves, meh. City Builders also get ez D tier in both overall and personal ranking, seriously what's the appeal? Strategy games just better fr. Lastly JRPGs, it's a sin you didn't seperate GOATED R E A L western RPGs genre from cheap immitation of JRPGs(seriously, Japanese make such goated games and yet they couldn't make proper roleplaying games and made them grindfests???). I only gave them D tier ranking personally for Persona series(not a true roleplaying game, but fkr JRPG genre, Persona is pretty good) and I'll give very conceded A tier ranking for influence on industry, a very BAD influence on gaming industry mind you, but still an influence. C Tier: Cart racers. Seriously besides, idk, Sonic and SEGA all star racing (you should try this one, takes WAY more skill than lame mario carts. Also there's Sonic Riders, also unique car racing games)and NFS Underground, I never found racing games appealing and they get overall C tier rating as well since they don't have much influence besides mario. Tactical shooters get a C tier personally, maybe. And B tier overall for e sports influence. Idk man, why didn't you use CLASS based shooter genre for ranking? Those are much better (TF2 mostly, but it alone carries entire genre). I couldn't put it at D tier personally cuz I was getting slowly attached to CSGO until Valve "upgraded" it to CS2 and now my low end pc can't handle it. Survival gets a C tier personal ranking and a slight A tier overall ranking only because of Minecraft, I mean THE Minecraft, one of THE most influential games alone carries Survival genre relevancy, but personally they're just so boring usually, so just C tier personally. C Tier battleroyales in both enjoyment and influence, maybe D tier personal enjoyment is more appropriate but eh. Lastly Hack and Slash AND Beat em ups(yes, both are seperate genres, that's like saying boomer shooters are same as Half Likes) they both get C tier personal ranking and B or A tier overall rankings for having one of the most memey games in the world, no seriously how many memes come from those games? From big games like Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising, to small ones like Castle Crashers etc. Lastly RTS games get C tier personally and overall rating. Idk besides Red Alert 3+ Uprising idk much about RTS games, and you're right, they can be stressful at times. Fighting games get C tier personal ranking and B tier for influence in gaming. Maybe even D tier personal ranking, I'm really not that huge of a fan tbh. B Tier: Horror in both personal enjoyment and influence in industry. It truly is divisive genre. It has it's peaks, it has it's lows but tbh, it's mostly a quiet influence in gaming, mostly coming from Amnesia, Penumbra, Resident evil, Silent hill and yeeep... No more ehehehehehhehehehe there's TOTALLY no indie horror franchise that ruined indie horror games by turning them into unfunny boring vague lore fest AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA... Boomer shooters is a genre you didn't add, but I will. They get a B tier personally and probably S tier overall due to their huge influence in industry. Maybe it's nostalgia for why I still rank em B tier, or maybe not because I didn't give em best rating, idk I kinda got left behind by boomer shooters and my skill with them is so bad these days 😅(also modern Doom games still count as boomer shooters btw, so that's why it's baffling you didn't include THIS subgenre but include goofy aah RTS vs strategy seperation) Simulation games get either C or B tier personally and A tier overall ranking. Dude, I'm baffled ya ranked them so low yoy realise Sims and SPORE games are both simulator games? Those were HUGE in game industry, so they could've at least given a C tier 😢. Also again simulator games doesn't mean boring truck driver simulators, it can be GOD simulators like Sims or creature evolution simulator like Spore(also Spore alone makes me want to give Simulators B ranking cuz it was such a goated idea, butchered by EA demands) Strategy games get B tier enjoyment and A tier influence. Some games are SUPER goated like XCOM franchise(top 5 favourites even) so I ranked em B tier personally but couldn't give higher ranking since Xcom doesn't represent average strategy game 😅 also A tier ranking overall in gaming influence because Strategy games alone create tons of subgenres. A Tier, here come the big boys: Platformers get A tier personal ranking and S tier influence. Seriously, the fact that this genre still lives on in two rival franchises who became friends(because Sonic fell off and he couldn't compete sadly 😢) is insane, but the reason my personal ranking isn't S tier as well is because, again, Platforming genre is kinda eh rn, and we still have tons of potential locked away(Sonic Adventure 3 with SA1 level design but improved) FPS and Action Adventures both get A tier for personal enjoyment and FPS gets S tier overall ranking and AA get S tier overall ranking for their influence in gaming. Technically I should out AA to A tier in overall ranking but you decided that HL series counts as AA games and not Half Likes so they get S tier in overall influence on gaming. Rogue Likes get both A ranking in personal enjoyment and overall influence in industry. Look I really wanted Rogue likes to get S tier in personal enjoyment but besides Binding of Isaac, I'm not that much of a fan of a genre 😅(Isaac IS goated, a Top 3 game frfr) Open World games(again why is this it's own genre?) get personal ranking of A and a ranking of S tier for influence on gaming, which is not all good, very few games like Witcher or RDR pulled off open world but Fallout 4/76 and especially Cybertrash? Those are pretty bad open world games, still a super high rating of open world genre. Finally, S tied: I'm so mad you didn't include one of THE gaming genres, IMMERSIVE SIMS! Those are NOT same as simulator games. Dude we have System Shock, Prey, and most importantly DEUS EX FRANCHISE. How can you forget THE Goat of the gaming? Deus ex ALONE puts Immersive Sim genre at S tier in personal and overall ranking, really the only weakness of the genre is due to how few games made in this genre due to difficulty of replicating PEAK. Speaking of peaks. RPGs, REAL ones that actually provide roleplaying experience, are easy S tier in both enjoyment and influence in gaming. It's just a shame we barely get any good ones these days, we got what, BG3 and Disco Elysium? Only 2 great RPGs? While Bethesda continues to butcher RPG genre and Cyberpunk2077 was so bad. But RPGs when done right, are peak gaming and had huge influence in gaming, so huge that many FAKE RPGs pretend to be RPGs because "look guys, we have le hecking skill tree and ebil ending!1!1!". Sorry for wall of text btw 😅 Edit: God, even I forgot some genres. Puzzles get a D tier personal enjoyment and C tier in overall effect on gaming but only because of Portal franchise. Point and Click adventures get C tier enjoyment and influence. They got very slightly good ratings on overall influence because they were very popular at one time, but this is 2024 and most point and click franchises are dead 😢

My tier list would be super biased. Rhythm games for me would be no less than S tier. I play DDR every weekend.

[@zojirushi1]

Platformers, metroidvanias, open world type games, rpgs, mmorpgs, action adventure, party games are goated. Survival, kart racers, and strategy games are ok.

[@kitsunemusicisfire]

NAH NAH NAH, with literally every genre almost every game you talked about were AAA, AA, or games that are technically indie but due to crowd funding and/or a publisher they received a pretty decent budget, then you got to horror and half the shit you mentioned were mobile horror games made by like, one dude in some third world country in three weeks. Dead By Daylight? The Evil Within? Outlast? Cry of Fear? PT? F.E.A.R? Bioshock? Until Dawn? The Last of Us? Dying Light? Layers of Fear? Lethal Conpany? Dark Souls (dont debate me on dark souls, it literally is on the front page of the horror genre list on Steam)? Left 4 Dead 2? The Forest? Project Zomboid? Inscription? Horror games arent "average", it's just that more niche and low quality games become popular because they're funny. It's not a genre issue, it's an exposure issue. Horror has probably the biggest and strongest fanbase out of any media genre out there and for good reason. There are TONS of terrible platformers (literally almost any licensed video game), as well as in literally any other genre, people just dont talk about it as much as they do with horror because bad horror games are entertaining just from how outright silly they are, and terrible games in other genres aren't funny, they're just bad. Horror deserves a way higher ranking, A tier at the very least.

[@kitsunemusicisfire]

Oh, and also a bit of info (that is far less emotionally charged than my last comment lol), Steam has a policy where as long as a game isn't illegal or harmful, then they literally cannot take the game down or refuse it from being published there. As long as you pay the publishing fee and make something legal, you're good, which is why Sex With Hitler is allowed on there. Its a doublw edged sword, on one hand it gives indie devs freedom to make the games they want without worrying about discrimination or biased takedowns and whatnot. On the other hand, there's lots of porn on there now.

[@danielsurvivor1372]

Nah nah he was cooking occasionally, although I did disagree with him alot but not especially about horror genre, it truly is slightly better than average. As for your mentions. Dead by Daylight? You mean Dead bt MIDlight? Even it's player base critiques DBD for devs mistreating the game. Also it's barely a horror game after the meta shifted from hiding from killers to rush gens and loop killers meta.(Also no I'm not talking about survivor mains complaining other people also critique DBD) The Evil within what? Never heard of it Outlast is decent, I guess semi parkour elements do make it feel a bit more interesting than other horror games but didn't that franchise fell off after first game? Cry of Fear IS goated I'll give you that, basically Free Resident Evil for us peasants 😅 PT? I mean, wasn't it unfinished game? F.E.A.R. I haven't played yet, is it that goated? How is BIOSHOCK a horror game? It's not even a survival horror 💀💀💀 Until Midday? Meh The Last of Us first one is goated but sequel... Also isn't that almost action adventure game? Dying light I haven't played yet Is it that good to mention? Layers of Fear? Ok ya gotta be joking me, where ya get those games? Lethal Company is a GACHA game, doesn't count 💀 Dark Souls is NOT a horror game, you realise how bad steam tags are? They consider a BORDERLANDS franchise as an RPG franchise, like wtf?!? What elements from ROLEPLAYING games does it have? Skill trees don't count especially since they don't even work same as in old RPG games. L4D2 is a good game but hardly a horror game, more like zombie survivor game. The forest??? The Project Zomboid sounds promising but haven't played it yet, but from the looks of it, isn't that just survival game with zombie elements? Tons of terrible platformers? Name at least ten of them bad licensed platformers (or however more you can)and do NOT dare to use Sonic series, that one doesn't count because SEGA is uniquely bad at making Sonic games so they'll taint the research pool of platformer games😢 also try to not use super old platformers as well but whatever. Look I agree that Horror genre can be goated at times but I don't see it above B tier. How much influence in gaming industry it even haf outside of Amnesia? The most recent influence from horroe genre was also extremely bad one, from FNAF games that ruined indie horror games turning them into boring vague aah lore mascot games.
