Your Favorite Sub-Genre
 
After my thoughts about the crime/thriller trend, I decided to make a public survey. The question is pretty simple: concerning adventure games, what is your favorite sub-genre?

Gabriel Knight :)

Well, a game successful at blending genres (horror, mystery, sleuth, drama) like Gabriel Knight is a rara avis, since this is one of the few characteristic that set masterpieces apart from other, less fortunate, attempts.

But if I have to choose a single genre, I would definitely say horror.

Mystery.

JackVanian 01-20-2009 07:41 AM
Horror, but Film Noir elements are always welcome as well.

Definitely horror/mystery, although I like a good wacky comedy as well.

Mystery/exploration.

I don't like horror at all. What's wrong with us Andrea, we used to agree in everything!? :crazy:

AndreaDraco83 01-20-2009 09:39 AM
I'm sure my horror is very similar to your mystery. I'm really sure, tsa! :)

Fantasy environments like Myst/Rhem - a strange world where exploration and experimentation lead you to find out what happened.

Squinky 01-20-2009 10:53 AM
Dark comedy.

dekaneas297 01-20-2009 11:06 AM
Detective/investigative

AndreaDraco83 01-20-2009 12:50 PM
I've just seen that the majority of the games I love are categorized by Adventure Gamers as Mystery, Surreal - so Mystery Surreal it is! :)

Jelena 01-20-2009 01:12 PM

Great, so we always agreed on the subgenre! :)

AndreaDraco83 01-20-2009 02:06 PM
Yay! So, tsa, are you planning on try Chronicles of Mystery (mystery surreal conspiracy)? I shall have it by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow! :)

Fantasysci5 01-20-2009 02:12 PM
I'd say supernatural. Although horror is good, too. lol ;)

mtgmaster 01-20-2009 02:13 PM
Definitely Sci-fi. I don't mind a good Horror, though.

O, I don't know yet. I am now working on Sinking Island, and after that I will see. Sinking Island is pretty good BTW, especially compared to Paradise, its predecessor.
