Why these games appear

A useful lens, not a one-word dump

A player-controlled character’s expressive real-time movement, combo timing, and encounter execution are the central action challenge.

Include when

The game has repeated, evidence-backed character action play within a compatible root.

Leave out when

Do not assign Character Action when the evidence is incidental, cosmetic, or only present in marketing copy.
