What is an "action game"?

An action game is a type of video game that focuses on physical challenges, including hand-eye coordination and reaction time. These games typically involve a lot of fast-paced movements, combat, and problem-solving. Action games became popular in the 1980s with arcade games that required quick reflexes to succeed. In these games, players often control a character who must fight enemies, avoid obstacles, or complete various tasks within a time limit. Success in action games relies on the player’s ability to react quickly and make decisions under pressure.
