>roguelite
i remember when that word first appeared on the roguelike general threads. it was practically an insult aimed at the retards who were too stupid to tell the difference between ascii text games that played (nearly) exactly as "Rogue" and shit like Gungeon and Issac.
> put in "roguelike"
> get a twin-stick action oriented shooter
> a 3D horror survival game
> AND a dozen different card games
and the worst part is, when i use the term "traditional roguelike" i get the exact same pile of shit, because Steam refuses to enforce the accuracy of tags used by the developer.

"free roaming"
>literal linear path movie-game
you can roam freely... within the area you are permitted to be inside of.

"casual"
>shit that belongs on a phone, or are not worth the money, or most likely are literally stolen and then re-uploaded by someone other than the creator to another platform

i really wish more online stores would bitch-slap these false advertising criminal mother fuckers.

comfy/cozy, even though i like harvest moon i just know any game calling itself that is gonna be lame and gay

>ai generated/assisted
>discord access
>MMO (it's actually just a 5v5 game)

>MMO (it's actually just a 5v5 game)
I've been noticing this one more and more and honestly i think this shit is straight up Bungies fault calling destiny an mmo when the party size for the majority of the games activities is 3 people and zones can have like what 6 people in them max?

Any kind of craft is immediately ignored

Yes. No joke. Add that to the list! Dark Souls/Elden Ring/Bloodborne has been fun BUT FUCKING STOP WITH THE SOULSLIKES

>because Steam refuses to enforce the accuracy of tags used by the developer
Worse, Steam refuses to enforce accuracy on tags posted and upvoted by the community.

>>713604959 (OP)
Seeing the words "wider audience" is like a death knell for the game in my brain now. You just can't recover from them.

>>713607756
Oh excuse me one second...

Same shit with "liminal horror", those places look comfy.
