An abomination is either the result of a demon possessing a living human or elf, or a undead flesh construct made from corpses sewn together.
Achievements are extra challenges added into video games that sometimes carry a point value or unlock bonus material, and are sometimes solely for bragging rights.

Sometimes animals or anthropomorphic animals have cybernetic prosthetics or enhancements. This is usually done in fiction exclusively for "cool" reasons.

Bosses are enemies that fight you at the end of a level or at a significant point in the story.

Games that require a controller to play on PC.
A notable time delay which ignores the character/player state (like having enough mana) and prevents an ability or action from being done. This concept is common in MMORPGs, but does occur in other genres.
Cooperative play in games allows humans to play together as a team to accomplish a task. Instead of playing against a human opponent, the team must defeat an AI. Cooperative Play in some games also means 2 human versus 2 human, this occurs in some Billiards games. (Scotch Doubles / Doubles)
An attack that does more damage than usual, usually affected by random chance and some sort of modifier.
