For games, genres are what define those games, however, ROBLOX has limitations which which can still be expanded upon. Genres should be separated to Theme and Gameplay. This will allow players to be able to choose a more relevant genre for their games. Once it's implemented, players will be able to search for either the theme or gameplay or both of them. It will allow more detailed searching and more relevant games. Theme is the ambiance, atmosphere and aesthetic of the game Gameplay defines the type of the game, on how it's played and the way it's played. Various examples will give you an idea of how it works. I'll be using those examples from ROBLOX to see how it can be cleared out better. Examples of Theme: -Comedy -Horror -Medieval -Military -Naval -Sci-Fi -Town and City -Western -Etc. Examples of Gameplay Type: -Adventure -Building -Fighting -FPS -RPG -Sports -Etc. Many more can be added such as Fantasy, Retro, Eastern, Fictional; Racing, Minigames, Platformer, Obby; etc. So let me know how you think of this idea. TL;DR suggestion edition ROBLOX could make genres more varied by separating them into theme and gameplay. It's not even that short, try reading it. I'd like to see proper feedback on my suggestion that will not be much but be useful and helpful.

50/50 rating because 10 is too mainstream.

Support We'd need Tycoon and Showcase in Gameplay.

I guess there's a lot more to add, perhaps voting for tags/genre like in steam with also be helpful.

Medieval used to be Fantasy I think. And Racing fits in with the Sports section.

Fantasy and Medieval are two very different things. I've seen fantasy games in modern time or even before medieval (Like Skyrim)

Support. "I've seen fantasy games in modern time or even before medieval (Like Skyrim)" What kind of fantasy game is in modern time? Also, a problem with this would be the fact that themes can be heavily tied to a gameplay type if this was implemented. Like medieval would almost always be RPG, Comedy would always be Obbies, so for some parts it seems pretty wasteful. Also, I think a showcase theme should be in there.

Looks like you copied my suggestion. It is exactly the same as this...

@SimplyRemove Exactly. Because I can't search it to bump it so I had to make a copy of it (somewhat). ROBLOX forum search is really inconvenient. I'll make a thread of fixing this damn search.

gr8 i would r8 8/8 and pl8 ag8 But seriously, I think this would make things a lot easier to find what I'm looking for. In FPS there's games like "framed" which are fps but more of a different type. <-- or maybe that's just stupid. But I think ROBLOX should add this but... They most likely won't...
