  2. Video game genres are used to categorize video games based on their gameplay interaction rather than visual or narrative differences. • A video game genre is defined by a set of gameplay challenges.

  3. Action Games • An action game requires players to use quick reflexes, accuracy, and timing to overcome obstacles.

CMS/ Life simulations • Construction and management simulation games (or CMS) are a type of simulation game which task players to build, expand or manage fictional communities or projects with limited resources. • Life simulation games involve living or controlling one or more artificial lives.

Most cast the player in the role of one or more "adventurers" who specialize in specific skill sets while progressing through a predetermined storyline.
