Nowadays, with the almost ubiquitous spread of the computers, video game industry has grown from a focused market to one of the main branches of the leisure industry, being increasingly popular, especially among young people. The article, presenting a part of dissertation research, investigates the relationship between crisis experience, daily stress, and genre preferences of modern O.A. Popov's classification based on the ability of the player to make moral decisions and the presence of the playable character(s) in the game, as well as some other types of splitting up games. The topicality of the problem under research is predetermined by the rapid development of the computer game industry that caused the obsolescence of traditional computer games' classification. The online survey, conducted via the specially written internet form, reached 113 people (61 females and 52 males) with a mean age of 25,46 years. The participants were offered to answer questions of crisis experiences questionnaire for the early adulthood period by V.R. Manukyan, questionnaire of daily stress by M.D. Petrash, O.Yu. Strizhitskaya, L.A. Golovey, S.S. Savenysheva, self-assessment of the emotional states by A. Wessman and D. Ricks and some questions about their gaming activity. ANOVA results indicated mean differences in levels of numerous scales between people preferring different types of games. Preferring-to-have-moral-choices and haven't-decided-on-moral-choices experience more daily stress. People preferring-existing-of-playable-character(s)-games show the same observation with the addition of crisis experiences. People preferring first-person games are calmer and have a better emotional state; they have a lower level of crisis experience and suffer from less daily stress. Moreover, people preferring multiplayer games also have a better emotional state and less crisis experience.
