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.

A subgenre of the adventure game, point-and-click games typically involve interacting with background objects, talking to non-player characters, and using an item inventory to solve puzzles that allow the player to progress through the story.
