This was something I started wondering about when I was reading a thread about Star Citizen, and about how space combat flight games were much less-common than they had been at one point, how fans of the genre were hungry for new entrants.
Back around the same time period, there was a glut of games in the genre, and they really have fallen off quite a bit.
Whether it’s a genre like these two, that hasn’t seen many new entrants recently, or a genre that just never grew as much as you’d like, what genre would you like to see more of?
I’m honestly not the biggest fan of the genre, but point and clicks I feel are a truly dying genre or at the very least they are so incredibly niche today
I haven’t been playing any point & click entrants since…God. There were some hidden object games that I got when I got Steam. I guess maybe outside that subgenre, Samorost and Machinarium, maybe a bit over a decade back.
But I dunno if the situation is honestly all that grim.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!

Searching for “Point & Click” on Steam and sorting by user review.
I get over 4,000 entries, and the top-rated entries are dominated by releases in the top few years.
You might be thinking specifically of adventure games, but even if I add the adventure tag, it’s still over 3,000 entries.
