Wikipedia has an article about genres:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_game_genres

(there too many buzzwords through)

I have some gaming experience but prefer only some genres so can not
classify any game. I'd classified most games in
strategy/action/simulator/logic/roleplay and asked to elaborate on wiki.

Also you may pick genre of almost any game from their wikipedia page.
