Daniel_M: Could you then say which games from the list in your eyes do not fit into that (granted wide) category?
Of course there are more subcategories (like TBS, RTS, 4x strategy, etc.) but they all fall into the strategy genre.
Matruchus: Don't need to think long. Hard West and Invisible Inc. definetly don't fit.
Firstly, those are only two and you wrote "
A lot of the new games are labeled as strategy games which is true but they really don't fit in to that genre."
Secondly, I don't know about Invisible Inc. but Hard West is definitely a TBS, so a strategy game. Strategic decisions have to be made and although the game may have other elements to it, strategy/tactics constitute the main part of the gameplay.
