    I spent many evenings classifying my steam library in genres and sub-genres and I put Nights into platforming so for my sanity I am just going to ignore what this video said

    Katamari Damacy is such a fun game. I like your analogy of life on it Peter. Plus nights into dreams is one of my favorites as well.

    You're making this more complicated than it needs to be.
    Pick the first 2 genres that jump out at you.
    Rarely will any game be one very specific game genre.
    Genres in order of game shown:
    1) Exploration & Puzzle
    2) Strategy & Management
    3) Skating & Platformer
    4) Collector & Shooter
    5) Platformer and Flying
    6) RPG and Puzzle
    7) Flying and Exploration
    8) Puzzle and Story Based
    9) Rhythm and Dungeon Crawler
    10) Collector and Puzzle

    One I can think of that is hardly ever mentioned would be Sacrifice. The closest it can be likened to is some kind of weird RTS.

    I'd categorize Katamari Damacy as a "snowball simulator"

    At 4:22, I think you're wrong there Ben! A game company has remade those nightmarish levels in the form of a certain game called Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time.

    the last guardian is quite hard to classify. platforming, adventuring, strategy, commanding, no attacking etc...

    Outer Wilds deserves a mention here. Is it a rogue like? Is it a survival game? Is it an exploration game? Seems like none of the above exactly.

    Just classify these under their own unique genres. Who says we can only choose the existing categories? Time to make up new ones! Even if that means flooding the genre classes with even more genres just for their 1 or 2 games!!

    Pokemon Snap is clearly based on Gekibo: Gekisha Boy (1992).

    Long time fan here. I know I'm just a random person, but I hope someone at Triple Jump sees this. During the intro you show snippets of all the games that will be covered in the video. It kind of ruins the video in my opinion, and make me feel like I don't need to watch the rest of the video since I know what games will be featured already. Maybe random game footage could be used when talking in the intro before the actual games in the list.

    Katamari Damaci is obviously a collectathon

    I really liked Exo One and would classify it as a "Dragon, Fly!"-like.
    After the 2011 mobile game that I'm pretty sure pinched its concept from somewhere else - I just don't know who did that first, or what that genre would be called.
    Ramble/rant part:
    (Looking it up as I write and I'm shocked to see that it somehow still gets updated to this day - or, well, February for the free version - oh, and the description mentions 'Tiny Wings'!
    That just rattled something free in my brain. I think that might've been the original, cause I definitely remember that.
    And so I just re-learned that 'Tiny Wings' always was iOS exclusive and 'Dragon, Fly!' was the equivalent Android knockoff.
    Definitely was still HUGE in school, back then.
    Urgh, I feel my bones crumbling into dust.
    Shoutouts to OG Fruit Ninja, Robot Unicorn Attack (2), Osmos HD, Paper Toss, Can Knockdown, EDGE, Apparatus, Riptide GP, The Room and Monument Valley as the only mobile game that made me cry from a heartfelt emotion that wasn't anger or despair over "micro"transactions and the current state of things. Good times!
    Who is this "Genshin Gacha Idle Legendscapes Match3"?)

    Or you just classify them all together as "Unclassifiable" :D

    Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. Part platforming shoot-em-up, part slapforming puke-em-up, part sexually graphic dating sim, part browser game, with a pinch of hedgehog skinning.

    I can help u. Katamari is a skill based game. Or how we call ganes like this in Germany: Geschicklichkeitsspiel!

  • @luliby2309

    I've got a couple more for ya.
    I've been saying this about Pac-Man. What genre exactly is classic Pac-Man? The closest thing I've heard anyone say is that it's a "Puzzle" game. There's not really any puzzles to pac man though. Either true puzzles or the "stacker"/blocks puzzles. I heard someone say it's a "Maze Game"...but that just seems like a generic descriptor. "Maze" games aren't really a thing. It doesn't really fit a genre if you ask me. I humorously will call it an "Eat 'Em Up" though.
    Also, Mister Mosquito. What genre is that, really? You just fly around and try to suck some peoples' blood. Closest would be a "Flight Simulator", but it feels different. It's kinda like Katamari in that it's just delightfully Japanese and weird.
