Action games — Page 3

Action games keep both hands busy. Something is always coming towards you, the room is always about to change, and the answer is movement: read it, dodge, then hit back in the half-second that opens up. Runs are short and restarts are instant, and that is the point — you learn a pattern by losing to it twice and beating it on the third try. They hold sixty frames a second in an ordinary browser tab, phone included.
