Let’s immerse into the world of video games!

Video games have been created more than 60 years ago, but only about 20 years ago people started to classify them. At the very first stages of the development of the gaming industry, each video game was unique and not similar to anything else. But over time, video games became more and more popular among people and developers started to create series. In order to navigate through this variety, it became necessary to divide video games into separate categories.

All the variety of video games can be divided into groups using different ways. Some of the most popular approaches are:

1. Classification of video games according to the platform. For example, games for PC, consoles or mobile devises;
2. Classification according to the graphics of the game. This group is divided into two sub-categories: classification by the location of the game camera (1st person view, 2D TopDown view etc.) and by graphics technology (2D, 3D graphics or virtual reality);
3. Classification according to the game content. This group includes sub-categories like classification by genre (horror, action, RPG) and classification by setting (real world, fantasy and so on);
4. Classification according to the goal of the game (tasks, championships);
5. Classification according to developer’s criteria is also divided into sub-categories. First of all, video games are classified depending on the budget (AAA games, low budget). And, second of all, games are divided according to the format, for example, original game or sequel;
6. Classification according to the type of distribution (free games or paid);
7. Classification according to the number of players (single-player, multi-player).

Despite such a wide range of different types of video games, the most popular classification that is often used by gamers is classification according to the genre. Moreover, unlike classic genres of books and films, video game genres are a completely different thing. Video game genres are determined not by the plot, but rather by the game actions performed by the player.
