The Last of Us Can Afford the Same Genre Leap as Alan Wake 2

Video game genres are an interesting thing. Over the last few decades, since the very first video game hit the public market, video game genres have continued evolving. What used to be strictly defined genres like sport, racing, action, and RPG are slowly pairing back their restrictive boundaries, and learning to borrow elements from one another to create truly unique gaming experiences. Alan Wake 2, for instance, can’t be defined as just a simple action/adventure game, it instead brings together elements from a number of different genres and subgenres.
