:gigachad: i never played any of these games

@lanodan @hj @patchuun UT is far too movement-unfocused to be a quake clone (quake is fast and dynamic, UT is slow and linear)

@q66 @hj @patchuun true, but I wasn't really serious.

Like you wouldn't call most puzzle games tetris otherwise, same as like calling all shmups touhou.
@lanodan @q66 @hj @patchuun >calling all puzzle games Tetris
People actually do this, for better or worse
@allison @q66 @hj @patchuun Well calling puyo-puyo tetris I can quite understand, specially given the last games provide the two.
Sokoban… maybe.
Puzzle bobble, eeeh?

@allison @hj @patchuun @q66 That said reminds me of the annoying thing of "rogue-like" which for most seems to have nothing to do with rogue (provided in bsd-games for most distros).
And not sure metriodvania always makes sense.

@xianc78 @q66 @allison @hj @patchuun I feel like that one just means "Wow, this game is actually challenging"
