TYPES OF GAMES
There are many different types of video games, and typically, they're categorized by their characteristics or underlying objectives—not by the type of gameplay they contain.
Game categories or genres, then, can also have subgenres, and many games fit into multiple genres!
Sure, it can be confusing, but by breaking down the game mechanics, we can start to understand how developers and publishers categorize their titles.
For example, if you’re an instant gratification type of gamer, action games are probably best. Do you like to solve puzzles or micro-manage resources? Real-time strategy games (RTSs) or role-playing games (RPGs) might be better suited for you.
But no matter what your interest, there is definitely a game genre that will appeal to your taste or even expose you to the benefits of Esports.
First, a little history.

The first video games

Physicist William Higinbotham created the first video game in October 1958. It was the highlight of Brookhaven National Laboratory Visitor Open House that year.
Higinbotham, who worked at the laboratory, wanted to create an interactive experience for visitors; quoted in an interview years later, Higinbotham wanted to, “... liven up the place. To have a game that people could play, and which would convey the message that our scientific endeavors have relevance for society.”
The game, Tennis for Two, was played on an oscilloscope, and the miniature, five-inch screen only displayed thin blue lines that looked a lot like PONG. Visitors lined up to play, and Higinbotham’s experiment soon became the most popular exhibit in the lab.
In those early days, computer processing power limited the types of games programmers could create. Fast-forward to today, and technology allows game developers to create anything they can dream up. To that point, in the last few years, new game categories and genres have been created to accommodate games that have fallen outside of traditional game classifications.
Here’s a complete list of all the different types of video games.
