Yes, it is difficult, definitely. I don't think it's so much that the general idea of adventure has changed at all; just that there are a few more games being made that don't fit into tidy genre categories these days (which is fantastic). But that's why we need to see them before we can really know for sure. Trailers and game footage help, but they still don't say anything about proportions and focus. Hell, you could make Diablo look like an adventure with deceptive editing. The staff here were divided on Metronome after seeing it demonstrated at E3, but we gave it the early benefit of the doubt.

So, everything case by case.
