Games which seek to lead the player on a journey through an uncertain and challenging world.

3D platformers challenge players to navigate intricate levels by running, jumping, climbing, and sometimes combat, often with an emphasis on creative movement abilities and collectibles. Camera perspective is typically third-person to provide a clear view of the character's position in the environment. Objectives may include reaching the end of each stage, defeating bosses, gathering items, or unlocking secrets through thorough exploration and deft platforming skills.

Games where the character advances automatically, while the player must avoid obstacles.

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