Question 1

What is the difference between action and arcade?

Accepted Answer

They overlap a lot. Arcade games stress short rounds and high scores, while action games focus more on moment-to-moment combat, movement or driving. Many titles carry both tags.

Question 2

Are there action games without violence?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Driving, jumping, parking and sports-style games all count as action without any fighting. Check the thumbnail and description, and use tags like arcade to steer your search.

Question 3

Do action games need a fast computer?

Accepted Answer

Most 2D games run on almost any device. 3D ones can be heavier, so close other tabs if a game stutters, or try a lighter 2D title instead.
