EnglishWhat Game Categories and Genres Are Covered on Games Like?
Updated
Games Like (moregameslike.com) organizes its catalog around a fixed set of genre categories, and each category page lists specific titles with a count of how many alternatives exist for that game. The categories shown on the site are Action, Adventure, MMO, Racing, Shooting, Simulation, Strategy, Battle Royale, Fighting, Management, Puzzle, RPG, and Sports. Games are also tagged by price model — Free, Paid, or Freemium — so the same title can appear under multiple genres and price labels.
The main genre categories
The site's navigation lists these categories directly, each with a sample of games and a "See all" link:
| Category | Games shown as examples |
|---|---|
| Action | Armored Core 5, GTA, Dark Souls, Diablo II |
| Adventure | (listed in top navigation) |
| Battle Royale | Diablo II, Hearts of Iron IV, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Baldur's Gate |
| Fighting | GTA, Dark Souls, Diablo II, Diablo |
| Management | Harvest Moon, Myst, Habbo, Forza Horizon 4 |
| MMO | Club Penguin, Last Day on Earth Survival, Roblox, IMVU |
| Puzzle | Limbo, Rayman Legends, Guitar Hero, Club Penguin |
| Racing | GTA, BeamNG.drive, Downhill Domination, Road Rash |
| RPG | GTA, Dark Souls, My Cute Roommate, Diablo II |
| Shooting | Armored Core 5, GTA, Dark Souls, Contra |
| Simulation | Proud Father, My Cute Roommate, Tomodachi Life, House Chores |
| Sports | Downhill Domination, Road Rash, Forza Horizon 4, NBA 2K |
| Strategy | Armored Core 5, Age of War 2, God of War III, Hearts of Iron IV |
A few things stand out from this list. The category assignments are loose rather than strict — GTA appears under Action, Fighting, Racing, RPG, and Shooting, while Dark Souls shows up under Action, Fighting, RPG, and Shooting. That reflects the site's crowdsourced approach: a game is grouped by what players associate it with, not by a single official genre label.
Price models are treated as a separate filter
Games Like labels titles by how you pay for them, and these labels appear alongside the game name:
- Free — e.g. Contra, Age of War 2, Summertime Saga, Club Penguin, Last Day on Earth Survival, Fortnite, Roblox
- Paid — e.g. GTA, Dark Souls, Diablo II, Diablo, House Chores, God of War III, Guitar Hero, Hearts of Iron IV, BeamNG.drive, Monument Valley, The Sims 4, Monster Hunter: World, Planet Zoo
- Freemium — e.g. Virtual Villagers, The Sims 4, The Sims FreePlay, Toon Blast, Lily's Garden, RAID: Shadow Legends, Stick War: Legacy
This matters if cost is your main filter: you can scan a category and immediately see which entries are free versus paid versus freemium before clicking into a game page.
How broad is the coverage?
The catalog spans a wide range, from arcade and browser-style games (Age of War 2, Contra, Stick War: Legacy) to large commercial titles (Dark Souls, Diablo, Monster Hunter: World, Planet Zoo) to simulation and life games (The Sims 4, Tomodachi Life, Virtual Villagers). Featured games on the homepage include Virtual Villagers, Second Life, Battle Realms, Monument Valley, The Sims 4, Toon Blast, Monster Hunter: World, Pubg Mobile Lite, The Sims FreePlay, Homescapes, Planet Zoo, Scary Teacher 3D, Ludo King, Lily's Garden, RAID: Shadow Legends, and Millsberry.
Recently added entries include 99 Spirits, Okami Redux, Blocy Puzzle, and Tales of Asteria, which suggests the catalog keeps growing beyond the core categories.
What this means for finding a game
If you want to browse by genre, start from a category page and use the alternative counts (e.g. "Dark Souls — 170 Alternatives") to gauge how many similar games the site has indexed. If cost is your constraint, filter by the Free, Paid, or Freemium tag first, then narrow by category. Because the same game can sit in several categories, a title you like will usually surface recommendations across more than one genre — for example, searching a racing game may also return action or sports entries.
