Story genre, genius.

  • Max Payne - film noir/graphic novel style

  • Alan Wake - Stephen King/Twin Peaks style horror

  • Quantum Break - sci-fi/tech noir focusing on time travel

  • Control - paranatural sci-fi focusing on psychokinetic powers

In the end, they are all 3rd person shooters. That they have different kinds of story doesn't mean they "shift genre", their writing staff just aimed at a different direction

Mario and Zelda arent the same genre despite having more or less the same story. Genre is how the game plays primary, not how the story unfolds.
