What makes a title sound like a game
Fantasy leans on old words: crown, ash, ember, hallow. Science fiction uses distance and machinery: orbit, protocol, drift, vector. Shooters go short and hard. Puzzle games use plain, friendly words. Horror works best with a single concrete noun and nothing explained.
Each genre has its own word bank here, so the titles come out in the right register. Two or three words is the sweet spot: long enough to be specific, short enough to fit a store page.
