Third-Person Shooter (TPS) is a genre of video games where players navigate and control a character viewed from a camera positioned behind and slightly above the character. This perspective allows players to see the character they are controlling, as well as the surrounding environment. TPS games often emphasize tactical combat, situational awareness, and character movement. Popular examples include "Gears of War" and "Uncharted." The visual perspective aids in exploring environments and managing cover-based combat, providing a different gameplay experience compared to first-person shooters, where players see through the character's eyes.
