A TV Show (or cartoon) based around Among Us, feels like they missed the boat on Among Us popularity.
Then again, I loved Infinity Train, wish the show wasn’t cut short by Zaslav’s budget cuts. I could see Among Us being similar to The Thing (one of my favorite horror movies), i think there’s a chance it’s a good show
I deleted most of my comment because what i had written was basically nonsense.
The main point that i was going for is that “action adventure” isn’t a useless category, since it’s a hybrid of two separate genres.
You can have non-action adventure games. Something like A Short Hike comes to mind. It didn’t need to turn/text based explicitly, but that’s common.
You can also have action non-adventure games. You mentioned pong, but this could be anything that requires real time responses and control. Beat-em-ups are common.
Action-Adventures are hybrids of the two: real time inputs with discovery elements
Action games and adventure games used to be two separate genres, deleted
I personally disagree that the original is best. It’s high up there, but I think some of the later titles have improvements that eek out the #1 spot.
I’m a fan of the “piece swap” feature, and later games have polished the piece lock over the original. Tetris 99 was the sweet spot for games that I’ve played.
