Gameplay where the game system provides the challenge rather than other players.
Games needs challenges. While many games create challenges by making players compete against each other in various forms, other do so by having the game itself create opposition to the players' intentions. This second form was given the name PvE (for "Player versus Environment") by players in massively multiplayer online games to distinguish it from the first one (PvP, or "Player versus Player"). Note that the two types of challenges are not mutually incompatible and players may simultaneously have both types of challenges.

Examples
What games have PvE gameplay depend on what requirements on puts on the game to have an "environment". Taking an inclusive view, Jigsaw Puzzles and Solitaire are games that retroactively can be considered PvE since they are single-player games and logically the challenge in them must come from the game design.
Collaborative Pandemic
Judging that Computer Games is often quite easy and many of these games have PvE gameplay. To mention just a few, PvE can be found in the Asteroids, Centipede, and Plants vs. Zombies, and the Doom, Fallout, Pik-Min and Super Mario series.
The web site GiantBomb as a page[1] dedicated to the concept of PvE.
