Whois & Analysis for unionyou.com

Puzzle video games are a genre of video games that emphasize puzzle solving.

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

The player may have unlimited time or attempts to solve a puzzle, or there may be simple puzzles made difficult by having to complete them in real-time, as in Tetris.

An adventure game is a video game in which the player assumes the role of protagonist in an interactive story driven by exploration and puzzle-solving.

The genre's focus on story allows it to draw heavily from other narrative-based media, literature and film, encompassing a wide variety of literary genres.

Many adventure games (text and graphic) are designed for a single player, since this emphasis on story and character makes multi-player design difficult.

Colossal Cave Adventure is identified as the first such adventure game, first released in 1976, while other notable adventure game series include Zork, King's Quest, The Secret of Monkey Island, and Myst.

A Platform game (or platformer) is a video game which involves guiding an avatar to jump between suspended platforms and/or over obstacles to advance the game.

The player controls the jumps to avoid letting the avatar fall from platforms or miss necessary jumps.

The most common unifying element of games of this genre is the jump button, but now there are other alternative like swiping in touchscreen.

Jumping, in this genre, may include swinging from extendable arms, as in Ristar or Bionic Commando, or bouncing from springboards or trampolines, as in Alpha Waves.

These mechanics, even in the context of other genres, are commonly called platforming, a verbification of platform.

Games where jumping is automated completely, such as 3D games in The Legend of Zelda series, fall outside of the genre.

A simulation video game describes a diverse super-category of video games, generally designed to closely simulate real world activities.

The action game is a video game genre that emphasizes physical challenges, including hand–eye coordination and reaction-time.

The genre includes diverse subgenres such as fighting games, shooter games and platform games which are widely considered the most important action games, though multiplayer online battle arena and some real-time strategy games are also considered to be action games.
