A personal computer game refers to any video game played on a personal computer, rather than on a video game console or arcade machine. Computer games have evolved from the simple graphics and play of early games like Spacewar!, to a wide range of more visually appealing games.
There are many genres of computer games such as action games, action-adventure games, stealthy and survival horror games. Here we have discussed the features of three types of these games.
An action game requires players to use quick reflexes and timing to overcome obstacles. It is perhaps the most basic of gaming genres, and certainly one of the broadest. Action games tend to have gameplay with emphasis on combat. There are many subgenres of action games, such as fighting games and first-person shooters.
Adventure games in contrast are not defined by story or content. Rather, these games provide a manner of gameplay that is without reflex challenges or action.
Action-adventure games combine elements of the two earlier-described genres, typically featuring long-term obstacles that must be overcome using a tool, as well as many smaller obstacles almost constantly in the way, that require elements of action games to overcome. Action-adventure games tend to focus on exploration and usually involve item gathering, simple puzzle solving, and combat.
