Why these games appear
Shooter play presented primarily through the controlled character’s viewpoint, with aiming and weapon use as the dominant interaction.
Include when
Assign First-Person Shooter when shooter play presented primarily through the controlled character’s viewpoint, with aiming and weapon use as the dominant interaction. This must be a sustained, defining part of play rather than an isolated mode or sequence.
Leave out when
Do not assign from camera perspective alone; ranged aiming and shooting must be the dominant repeated interaction.
