Technically, almost all video games are puzzle games.
(self.showerthoughts)
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
You think that pushing a button that generates a purely random outcome is a game?
To me, those are neither games nor puzzles.
There is nothing one can do, in terms of thought or execution, to influence the outcome.
Other than I suppose choosing to play or not play.
To me, a game must include some capacity of the player to influence whether they succeed or fail, within the game itself.
(I didn't downvote you - it wasn't me!)
Yeah. I think anything that passes time by giving you dopamine hits qualifies as a game. However, that wasn't my point. I was saying, you declared a statement, and then when given counter-examples, declare they aren't really games because they don't meet your previously declared statement. It's a logical fallacy.
