Video games are electronic games that involve interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a two- or three-dimensional display device, such as a computer monitor, television screen, or handheld device. These games may be played on various platforms, including computers, consoles, and mobile devices.
The gameplay typically involves players controlling characters or elements within the game world, completing objectives, overcoming challenges, and engaging with other players or non-playable characters. Video games can encompass a wide range of genres, such as action, adventure, role-playing, simulation, sports, and puzzle games. They may include single-player or multiplayer experiences and can be played online or offline.
Video games are a significant form of entertainment and can also be used for educational purposes, training, and social interaction. The experience often combines visual, auditory, and tactile feedback, immersing players in interactive storytelling and gameplay mechanics.
