Simple, fast-paced games with colorful graphics and catchy audio, that require few or no explanations, can be played in short bursts, and usually require a lot of skill. Similar in style and spirit with the arcade game cabinets of the 80s and 90s.

Set in a fictional universe, often (but not always) with fantastic or supernatural elements, alternate worlds, magic and monsters.

Games where the primary goal is keeping the player character alive under harsh circumstances such as dwindling resources or a hostile environment.
