Many games feature a story which involves saving the world and its inhabitants, often single handedly.
Female characters who are designed with highly idealized figures and proportions, outfits that are revealing and/or form-fitting, and prone to ending up in completely over-the-top poses designed to show off their bodies.
The ability to change shape. Humans shifting into animals is the most common type of shape shifting.
Games whose titles consist of a single word.
These games are designed to be played by one person, and one person only.
The skeleton is the framework of the human body.
A set of skills and abilities displayed in a branching path. Skills in the tree open up after completing required prerequisites.
Any practitioner of magic (wizard, sorcerer, mage, necromancer, etc.) who casts spells. Even unlearned scholars can throw a mean magic missile every now and then.
An eight legged arachnid. Some make webs to catch prey and some are poisonous. None have made a web grand enough to be called a parlor, though.
When a developer creates a game that could be perceived as a new instalment in an existing franchise that they've worked on before, but doesn't share the same name due to licensing issues or other reasons, it's called a spiritual successor.
A digital distribution service owned by Valve Corporation. Originally created to distribute Valve's own games, Steam has since become the de facto standard for digital distribution of PC games.
Valve's counterpart to Microsoft's popular achievement system.
Steam Cloud is a built in feature in some Steam games, it synchronizes game saves, settings and other data to the internet for access from any computer that has Steam installed.
A series of Steam features related to cross-platform play, including cross-buy, cross-play, and Linux compatibility layers.
An aesthetic sub-genre of fantasy, focusing on brutal barbarians and arcane wizardly magic.
Trolls are a mythical race of creatures that have been interpreted many different ways in games.
The Undead is an umbrella term describing creatures that do not exhibit the key fundamental attributes that are associated with life, such as respiration, and blood circulation. They are divided into two main categories: Ethereal and Corporeal, depending on whether or not they have a body.
A move learnable in Role-Playing Games which seems useful at first glance, but whose actual uses are actually incredibly limited to prevent breaking the game.
A mod is a user-created patch that alters any part of a game, or adds new content to it. At the extreme, "total conversion" mods can change the game so much that an entirely new experience is created.
Items found in video games that serve little or no use to the player, other than to be sold to NPC vendors for money.
Originally recorded in 1951, this sound effect has appeared in numerous films and video games.
Xbox 360 and original Xbox games that have been approved to run on the Xbox One's backwards compatibility feature.
Zombies, more accurately called the walking dead, are reanimated corpses who feed on the living, and have become a ubiquitous video game enemy. They often move slowly, but can be deadly in large numbers, which is unfortunately how they tend to travel. Shotgun time!
