The 16 Types Of Video Game
I play action games, RPGs, puzzle games, adventure games, and games from pretty much every other genre. But the older I get, the less I find myself thinking in terms of those genres. Instead, I categorize games by how they fit into my life.

I rarely think, “I’m in the mood for a good action/adventure game right now.” More often, I’ll think, “I just want a quick time-waster,” or, “I’ve got no plans tonight, time to put a few hours into my mainstay.”
The same game may fit into different roles for different people.
1. The Mainstay
2. The Time Waster
3. The Fave
4. The Traveler
5. The Socialite (Online)
6. The Socialite (Local)
7. The Newsmaker
8. The Spectator Sport
9. The Ego Boost
10. The Podcaster
11. The Bad Habit
12. The Guilty Pleasure
13. The Palate Cleanser
14. The Second Job
15. The Mountaintop
16. The Maybe-Someday
