Game classification

Game classification is like putting games into different groups based on certain rules.

Imagine you have a big toy box with different types of toys. You may have balls, dolls, building blocks, and cars. You can classify the toys based on what they are, like vehicles or dolls. You can also classify them based on how you play with them, like outdoor or indoor toys.

Similarly, games can be classified based on what they are, such as action, adventure, puzzle or simulation games. They can also be classified based on how you play them, like single-player or multiplayer games.

Just like you keep your toys organized in your toy box, game classification helps people find games that are similar to each other. This makes it easier for game developers to make games that appeal to a certain group of players, and for players to find the type of game they want to play.

Different companies or organizations may have different ways to classify games, but the idea is always the same, to group games together based on a certain set of characteristics.
