Do we not have genres anymore? Why are games being called X-like nowadays? Lol
Nowadays? You mean like how every first person shooter after doom was called a “doom clone?”
I’m specifically referring to to X-like.
In the 90’s, we also had Street Fighter-clones!
But nowadays we know better. But gaming journalism seems to have gone backwards into calling everything [X]-like.
My guess is that it gets them more hits for people looking up games that aren’t actually related to the one they’re writing about
Also, it’s different when a name for a genre hasn’t been coined yet…lol
