Action games are an all-encompassing genre of games that put their action at the front. Anything with big explosives, scripted events, or anything that acts like a Hollywood movie will be in this genre.

Resident Evil 2

RE2 features both action and suspense and the action itself are some of the tensest and edge-of-the-seat stuff I’ve played in a long time. From zombies lurking around every corner to Mr. X on your ass at every turn just makes the game incredibly suspenseful. Conversing ammo and foraging for healing items has never felt better.
