Answer 1

2nd person doesnt really apply to video games. 1st, second 3rd is more of a literary device, that we partially co-opted for videogames.

I may be wrong here, but as i recall,
– 1st person is hearing inside someones head, – 2nd person is a narrator (or newsreader even) talking to you the reader/viewer, and
– 3rd person is the writer talking about someone else.

This roughly translates to games in the 1st and 3rd person, in terms of where the camera is placed, but theres no real ‘2nd person’ (that i can think of off the top of my head at least) in games
