Want to keep testing your knowledge of gaming trivia? We've got loads more PC Gamer quizzes, on everything from healthbars to weird currencies to absurd patch notes.

Okay, PC Gamer test takers, I'm through messing around. Today I'm going to put your brains and fingers to the test with our biggest quiz yet, and this one is all about game genres.

The concept of a genre, and Steam tags in general, can be a bit nebulous, and there are gonna be certain tags you might expect that aren't on the list, like "VR" or "Cozy" or "Adult"—which all sorta feel like they should be genres but are maybe more descriptors. Look, I didn't invent or categorize Steam tags, I just copied them and plopped them into a quiz.

How many genres can you guess? Let us know in the comments, and also tell us if you prefer shorter quizzes or want an occasional long-form quiz like this in the future.

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
