In gaming, 'Health' is a fundamental mechanic representing a character's vitality or survival capacity. Typically visualized through health bars, hearts, or numerical values, it quantifies resilience against damage. Health systems create tension and strategic depth—players must balance aggression with preservation through healing items, safe zones, or regenerative abilities. Symbolically, health can extend beyond physical well-being to include mental or spiritual states in narrative-driven games. Its depletion often triggers consequences like impaired abilities or game over, making resource management crucial. Health mechanics universally enhance immersion, risk-reward dynamics, and player agency across genres from action to role-playing games.
