Players engage with the game by controlling characters or objects within the game environment, often through physical inputs like controllers, keyboards, or touchscreens. Video games vary widely in genre, including action, adventure, role-playing, simulation, strategy, and sports, among others.
They can be played solo or multiplayer and range from simple puzzle games to complex simulations that can immerse players in expansive virtual worlds.
