Puzzle video games make up a broad genre of video games that emphasize puzzle solving.

The types of puzzles can test problem-solving skills, including logic, pattern recognition, sequence solving, spatial recognition, and word completion.

Many puzzle games involve a real-time element and require quick thinking, such as Tetris (1985) and Lemmings (1991).

Shooter video games or shooters are a subgenre of action video games where the focus is almost entirely on the defeat of the character's enemies using the weapons given to the player.

Usually these weapons are firearms or some other long-range weapons, and can be used in combination with other tools such as grenades for indirect offense, armor for additional defense, or accessories such as telescopic sights to modify the behavior of the weapons.

A common resource found in many shooter games is ammunition, armor or health, or upgrades which augment the player character's weapons.

Strategy is a major video game genre that emphasizes thinking and planning over direct instant action in order to achieve victory.

Although many types of video games can contain strategic elements, as a genre, strategy games are most commonly defined as those with a primary focus on high-level strategy, logistics and resource management.

They are also usually divided into two main sub-categories: turn-based and real-time, but there are also many strategy cross/sub-genres that feature additional elements such as tactics, diplomacy, economics and exploration.

An online game is a video game that is either partially or primarily played through the Internet or any other computer network available.

Online games are ubiquitous on modern gaming platforms, including PCs, consoles and mobile devices, and span many genres, including first-person shooters, strategy games, and massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG).

In 2019, revenue in the online games segment reached $16.9 billion, with $4.2 billion generated by China and $3.5 billion in the United States.

Since the 2010s, a common trend among online games has been to operate them as games as a service, using monetization schemes such as loot boxes and battle passes as purchasable items atop freely-offered games.

Unlike purchased retail games, online games have the problem of not being permanently playable, as they require special servers in order to function.
