when it comes to AAA games its FPS. but its the best selling genre as well and most AAA FPS games succeed.

FPS and open world are both over-saturated.

Dont starve and Farcry are both open world games. are they in the same genre? open world is a desgin choice, not a genre. 



"indie is the most over-saturated genre"

so like, do you want indie companies to just go away or what? its not like they can just stop being an indie company.

also FPS are very over-saturated, zombie games are a close second

Nope, still the FPS.

You asked for an opinion and then say no to one? And how many FPS have been released this year?

Call of Duty and Resident Evil 7 both have shooting in first person. Are they in the same genre? 



It was FPS until maybe 5-6 years ago. But, it's open world, action RPGs now.



Whatever genre pokoko likes the best
