I used to kill random citizens in Jak 2 for fun, despite the Krimson Guards coming after me. And with cheat mode activated, I'd kill them too.

Not technically one, but it sure feels like one when you use the Albinaurics to farm level ups in Elden Ring.

No, it is not
Not when the Floods very nature is threatening galactic civilisation as a whole.
Destroying the Flood is no more a genocide than destroying the Smallpox virus

This is the excuse for every genocide!

That seems more of an omnicide, though.

Any game in the Civilization series. You can completely wipe out a nation. When you conquer the last city a nation still has, their entire culture vanishes forever

Genocide is fanon. The routes don't have official names.

Not quite what TC was asking about since it involves an animal species rather than a human(oid) group; but being able to drive the buffalo extinct in RDR came to mind.

In FF13 it's revealed that this is what the villain(s) aim to force the protags into doing via an ultimatum.

Also a game mechanic in Lightning Returns. Killing enough of a monster type will eventually spawn it's last living member called a Last One. One it's dead you get a rare item and they disappear for good.

most 4x games if you go a war-heavy route

Undertale explicitly

Soul Nomad Evil Route is more on the 'omnicide' end of the scale but you do get to run a couple of smaller scale atrocities on the way there

Everhood 1 (unlike Undertale, there is no 'pacifist' option. There is a "oh, you decided to annoy Frog" option that is more a meta "come back later" choice as opposed to "an ending")

Certain dubious options of Heart of the Machine are probably along those lines (yes, stealing grey matter from humanity in order to increase your processing power as an AI is probably not great but you aren't *necessarily* killing them, as such)

that's all I can think of off the top of my head

IIRC, in Chrono Cross don't you commit genocide against the dwarves? And, depending on your choices, the fairies may also get wiped out as well?
