third-person shooter
A third-person shooter is a type of video game where players control a character from a perspective that shows the character on screen, typically from behind and slightly above. This viewpoint allows players to see their character and the surrounding environment, making it easier to navigate and aim. The gameplay focuses on shooting enemies using various weapons while often incorporating elements like cover systems and strategic movement. Popular examples include games like "Gears of War" and "Fortnite." This genre combines action with storytelling, often featuring immersive worlds and character development.
