Uses two-dimensional "sprites", 2D images created and used on a flat plane, as opposed to the three-dimensional models or environments found in 3D games.

Blending elements of action and exploration, these games often feature combat, puzzle-solving, and narrative-driven quests. Players navigate immersive worlds, overcome obstacles, and engage in dynamic battles while uncovering the story and developing their characters' abilities.

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.
