Science fantasy games
The science fantasy genre blends elements of both science fiction and fantasy. It's a mix of futuristic, technological, or scientific elements coexisting with magical or fantastical elements.
Unlike traditional sci-fi, which often aims for scientific plausibility, science fantasy is more flexible and allows for fantastical concepts that may not be scientifically feasible.
It's a very vague definition and can potentially comprehend a broad variety of games.
