There are some flaws, but it is endlessly engaging -- A History of Every Video Game Genre: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dbgdi7BzMR0 The topic of game genres interests me because I believe that regardless of the labels invented for the purpose ("Metroidvania", "Soulslike"), there must exist a set of indivisible axis that describe the constraints of a game rather than merely its features. "Open world" is not a genre, it's an implementation style, but it does suggest that games can contain a given level of simulation vs. rigidity. #gaming
