Comment on Mewgenics becomes the most-played roguelite ever on Steam

And yet I tend to like most games that fall into the “rouge lite” category. It feels too broad and yet also seems to work to classify games.

I think it may just be a bit like “RPG” or “Action” that are actually very wide categories that now have a lot of subcategories to help better explain them.

I like most games that fall into the category

same. but thinking about it a bit more, i still think it’s a bad name for a sub (sub sub) genre at best, not a top level one, your RPG and Action examples are quite right

  Let’s be honest with ourselves combocore is really just another phrase for rhythm games, which let’s you aggregate things like guitar hero (rythmncombos) and DMC (actioncombos), as it’s all about hitting buttons at the right time interval. Surprisingly many darksouls also fall into the combocore/rythmn category - sekiro and Lies of P (with their parrying/dodging timing) which we’ll now call soulcombos.
  
  Now we just need to start promoting this through the steam tags.
