Search free PC games by genre
It took quite a bit of thought to decide which main video game genres should appear in the main menu. Believe it or not, it wasn’t a straightforward task. For example, platformers and shooters are technically subgenres of Action, and MMO isn’t even a true genre — yet all three are commonly seen as standalone categories. According to Wikipedia, “Simulation” is a broad umbrella covering both management games (like OpenTTD and Dwarf Fortress) and vehicle simulators (such as flight simulators), but I decided to keep things simple — I mean, who actually calls them “vehicle simulation games” in everyday conversation?
The result, in my opinion, is the simplest and most user-friendly way to categorize both classic and modern video games.
