Computer games are digital games played on PCs or laptops. They range from simple puzzles to complex simulations, strategy, or action games. Players interact through input devices like keyboards, mice, or controllers, experiencing entertainment, problem-solving, skill development, and social interaction.
Computer games can improve problem-solving, memory, multitasking, and strategic thinking. Puzzle, strategy, and simulation games enhance planning and analytical skills, while action games boost reflexes and hand-eye coordination. Playing moderately stimulates the brain without affecting daily life.
Popular genres include action, adventure, role-playing (RPG), simulation, strategy, sports, puzzle, and shooters. Each genre offers unique gameplay, from story-driven adventures to competitive multiplayer games, catering to diverse interests and skill levels.
