In some action games, we can't run off of the edge of a surface, or if we do, it will trigger a loss state, but in a platformer like Prince of Persia or Ratchet and Clank, one of our primary tools is the ability to leap across chasms. Player tools can also be relatively abstract. With those tools in our palms, we find ourselves protecting and nurturing plants and animals. If you want the inverse, look at a game like Viva Piñata, which situates us in a natural wonderland and hands us gardening implements and food. In the realm of shooters, we perceive most characters as targets because these games place a gun front and centre, sometimes literally. Often, how we receive a game environment is a product of not just its contents but also the tools we have to interact with it. Video games don't just provide us with the opportunity to interact with fictional worlds they also ingrain in us mindsets through which we process those worlds.
