But "Shooter" would still be a subgenre of "Action". They are certainly action-focused games.noiseredux wrote: I think I want broad, but not super-broad. So I do think Shooter deserves separate from Action. I don't know if Platformer should be separate as well.
If you split out "Shooter," I think you should probably drop the "Action" genre entirely and just refer to appropriate subgenres, which I think you already have listed. Then, split "Adventure" back into "Action/Adventure" as you had earlier for things like Zelda, and "Thinking Adventure" for things like Point 'N Clicks and text adventures, etc...
I don't like calling it "Thinking Adventure," though. I'm sure there is a better term for an adventure game without a strong action component.
