10 Video Games That Started NEW Genres

Creativity is necessary for innovation and sometimes when a genre doesn’t fit your vision, you must make your own. For this list we’ll be looking at the games that didn’t fit into the normal checkboxes and instead created entire new ways to play. In this video we’ll highlight how FromSoftware created the Souls genre, Wolfenstein invented the first-person shooter, Harvest Moon led to a deluge of cozy simulator games and many more that broke the mold. What’s your favorite genre of video games? Share your picks down in the comments.
