I'm sorry the terminology is so vague and inconsistent, and I'm so disengaged from "gaming" culture and behind on genre labels that I honestly don't know what you're talking about. Do you mean the genre formerly known as "point-and-click adventures", like Disco Elysium?

No, I'm not talking about adventures. Just look up some gameplay videos for Baldur's Gate 3.

bruh this looks identical to diablo. no really this is my first time seeing the game and i thought i must have typed diablo into the search by mistake. What makes it a different genre?

Did you actually look at the gameplay or did you stop after the first still image showed that Diablo and BG3 both have a top-down perspective and general medieval fantasy theme?
