This is admittedly not that big of a deal I guess but it drives me nuts how often modern games describe themselves like: a zelda-esque soulsborne roguelike metroidvania- or something equally indecipherable to anyone outside of the entrenched Gamer demographic. I am thoroughly “search action”-pilled…we really gotta use words better!

Do critics/readers say that or would the authors themselves, like on a paragraph on the back cover with the teaser, or in a foreword? I’ve never seen something like that, but I guess it’s a big world. What spurred this post was seeing the Steam store page of a game use pretty much all of these terms in its own marketing blurb, which seems ridiculous to me.
