Answer

Low vision is related to blindness. A person with low vision can detect light, perhaps see some motion, but is very limited as to what they can see. Users could play games provided there was some degree of magnification of the screen. Users could respond to visual and sound cues, but their ability to see a wide area of the game may be restricted by the magnification of the screen.
