What's Your Genre of Choice -- Outside of Shooters!

[PGen98]

If you were taking a break from FPS and shooters in general, what's your favourite genre to play? 

For me, personally, I love action and adventure games, games that use your mind and require different skills to get through.  They're fun and they usually tell a great story.  Racing games are fun, as well, particularly games like Forza Horizon, they're very fun!

What is your go-to for non-shooters?

I am so bad at racing games!  Story based games are always my fav!  RPGs with really in-depth lore and stories are so fun!

RTS games are awesome and I might enjoy them more than ever FPS games but there is not much of the pvp stuff I enjoy in RTS games.

I'm quite excited for the new Horizons, they are doing an excellent job with the series!

I can't help but feel like "story based games" is a bit of a cop-out on this subject. Lol

RTS games might be me second favorite genre.  The much more slow paced and planned out atmosphere is a great break from the chaotic FPS world.

I like simulation games the best. I played The Sims 2 a lot as a young kid, and it really stuck with me as time went on. My favorite game is still probably The Sims 2, but I am enjoying The Sims 4 a lot as well.

I used to enjoy the Sims a lot, although the Sims 4 never caught on with me and now it just seems dated.  I'd look forwards to Sims 5, but I haven't heard anything about that.

I like survival games like Minecraft. I also like game creating platforms like Roblox where I can create my own game. Racing and adventure games are also fine.

It's going to be survival horror, action adventure, racing and football genre (particularly football manager not FIFA). 

There's a particular football manager called Top Eleven Football Manager which I have been playing for 6 years now.

If I was to take a break from shooters in general, I would definitely have to go towards racing games. I love playing games such as Forza Horizon and I could play them for hours at a time if I had the chance so that would definitely be an option that I would go for away from shooters.

Another I could also go to away from shooters would be puzzle games as well, I love to be able to sit and chill on a puzzle game when I can and again, could spend hours on that so that too would also be a great alternative.

The Forza Horizon Series is hands down the best racing game on Xbox console. I had a very good time playing Forza Horizon 4 but I have been completely blown away by Forza Horizon 5. 

Which one happens to be your favourite between the two of them?

My favorite is definitely Forza Horizon 5. I too was completely blown away with their game when they released 5. I haven't played 5 as much as I played 4 but that is because I have been so busy but I am eager to get back to it and play some more. Just driving around is an amazing experience.
