What is QTE (Quick Time Event) in video games?

This content has been automatically translated from Ukrainian.
QTE, or Quick Time Event, is a mechanic in games where the player is prompted to perform a specific action by entering the appropriate command line or pressing a designated button at a certain moment in time.
These events usually occur during cinematic scenes or interactive sequences, and they can involve various actions such as pressing a button at a specific moment, holding a button, repeatedly pressing a button, or entering button combinations.
The idea of QTE is to engage the player in the storyline even during scenes that are typically passive (cinematic). 
A well-known example of QTE usage is the "God of War" game series, where this mechanic is used to execute epic finishing moves against enemies.
