I think, by definition, this is not a survival horror game.
While the adrenaline mechanic is somewhat conceptually similar to inventory management, it is used to emphasize combat.
Emphasis on combat is definitely not a feature of survival horror, nor is platforming.
GiantBomb (
https://www.giantbomb.com/nightmare-creatures/3030-584/) lists it as an Action-adventure game.
I think it should be listed the same here.

GiantBomb is a wiki, i.e. a
WP:USERG source; editors of GiantBomb could just as easily argue that they should list the game as survival horror because that's how it is listed on Wikipedia. Your reasoning that platforming and emphasis on combat are incompatible with being survival horror is baffling, not only because it's not apparent how those elements interfere with the genre's nature, but because by that reasoning even series like Resident Evil, Dead Space, and Fatal Frame don't have a single installment that can be classified as survival horror. Are there any reliable sources that classify Nightmare Creatures as anything other than survival horror?

3 now means 2?
I wanna hear a detail explanation on how a third game, even though it was cancelled, counts as a "second sequel" to game that already had a 2nd sequel?--

Can you clarify what the three sequels you are referring to were? I may have missed something, but looking at the article I saw mention of only two sequels, "Nightmare Creatures II" and "Nightmare Creatures III: Angel of Darkness". What was the other one?

Don't know how I overlooked this thread before, but yes, to reiterate JBW's point, if you insist on editing the article to refer to a "third sequel", surely you must be able to name three sequels. Otherwise, how can you be sure that a third sequel even exists, much less that Nightmare Creatures III is it?
