Water is also important in games. Usually, it is a way of limiting the exploration of the player as a natural barrier, but in some genres, like platformers, it can be a new gameplay element, such as swimming.

Even though water in games tends to bring about death, we all still hold it near and dear to us. Afterall, water also ironically brings us life.
Water is actually the combination of two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom. This combination of elements exists in many different forms in our planet, including a solid, a liquid, and a gas, and all three of them can exist temporarily in that state at normal room temperature. The Earth is covered in water, taking up 70% of the planet's surface. Our bodies are also full of water, taking up from 55% to 75% of our body.Water is also important in games.

- Water meant imminent death in the Grand Theft Auto Games up to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. But this took a complete shift and was changed in to a saving grace for players in GTA: San Andreas. Not only had the player the option to swim/ dive so when a car crashed into water the player could escape the vehicle and swim to safety. Players also could drop the most ridiculous heights from a plane or helicopter and survive the fall if they landed in water.
- The Prince of the second Prince of Persia series used water to heal himself.
- Many people drown in water because of the continuous swallowing of water is keeping them from breathing (Also, water doesn't contain such large amounts of oxygen that it would make us able to).
But that doesn't hold Rico Rodrigruez from Just Cause at bay. This guy has lungs the size of freighters and can stay under water for eternity, without any special equipment.
(Many Just Cause players claim to have beaten the World Record multiple times, including one guy who actually called Guiness World Records to have his attempt registered.) - Many video-game characters die in water instantly. Some famous heroes include:
Claude Speed from GTA, GTA 2, GTA 3
Tommy Vercetti from GTA: San Andreas
Altaïr from Assassins Creed
