10 Video Game Genres That NEED To Make A Comeback
9. Text Based Adventure Games
The best graphics engine in the world is that of your imagination. Text based adventures were a great way to lose yourself in a work without relying on graphics and gameplay mechanics, but still felt like you were playing a game. This particular type of game lends itself well to modern gaming, as the entire story can be experienced either in a browser or on your phone. In fact, the market for this type of game has found a thriving niche culture online, where fans will freely release and share their own creations as well as creations they particularly like.
Modern titles like AI Dungeon have taken the genre in what could be argued as the logical progression of this type of game, using AI to learn and help create a unique experience every playthrough. The surge in dating and romance simulators online could also be seen as a natural progression of the genre, blending the open-ended experience of text prompts with visuals aids to help build the experience.
