What is a "third-person shooter"?

A third-person shooter is a type of video game where players control a character from a perspective behind and slightly above them, allowing a clear view of the character and the surroundings. The main focus of these games is shooting enemies using weapons, often in action-packed scenarios. Popularized in the 1990s and 2000s with games like "Tomb Raider" and "Gears of War," third-person shooters often involve exploring environments, solving puzzles, and fighting enemies. Success in these games depends on aiming accurately, managing ammunition, and using cover effectively during battles.
