indie platformer

FPS was definitely oversaturated 7th gen, but not so much 8th. 8th was/is open world games. Tough to say what 9th will be. Maybe VR tech demos as opposed to fully fleshed out games.

As of recently, open world games.

First Person Shooters...

FPS followed by indie as a close second.

Double post.

I feel like people are going to just say a genre they don't like so in order for this to be a real discussion, I'd like to see evidence. Otherwise, we might see people say something like "FPS" while grouping games like CoD with Fallout 4 or something equally inane.

If we count low budget/indie games 2d platformers without a doubt. If we only count AA and AAA (medium and high) budget games FPS.

Well, I would make Shooters one thing, not just FPS.

As for the answer, depends on what you mean. 2D Platformers and Shooters have the largest volume of entries yes. But saturation is a negative thing, the idea of useless and detrimental excess. With the 2D Platformers, a TON of entries are so low profile people don't know they exist so I wouldn't call that saturation, which would usually indicate the idea of the genre in question sort of choking out others through sheer excessive exposure. And Shooters cirrently have a healthy variety in settings, styles, mechanics, so I would callit plentiful, not overly saturated.

In my mind, Sandbox games are the most saturated genre. There's plenty of great open world games that are good, but there's an excessive number of Ubisoft style nebulous open worlds that contribute little or nothing to anything, they just suck up budget and marketing real estate.
