The First Folio of 1623 divided all of Shakespeare's plays into Histories, Tragedies and Comedies. That categorization has pretty much stuck, even though some plays do not fit easily into those slots.

This is of course a matter of taste. For some time, people have thought that Shakespeare's tragedies were better plays than his comedies. Hamlet in particular is thought by many to be his greatest play; it is certainly extremely popular and is constantly quoted from. Others think King Lear has a claim to being even more powerful. It's open to debate.

When Shakespeare's plays were first published in omnibus form in 1623, they were divided into histories, comedies and tragedies. Since then, people have invented other categories to try to describe groups of plays with similar characteristics: romances, tragicomedies, and problem plays are three such groupings. You can probably invent a few of your own: "romantic tragedies" could encompass the plays about couples who are deeply in love but whose story ends badly: Romeo and Juliet, Antony and Cleopatra and Troilus and Cressida. "Roman plays" could describe the plays set in ancient Rome: Antony and Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, Coriolanus and Titus Andronicus.

Shakespeare wrote many more than two important plays. About half of his total output could be considered to be significant.
