Introduction
I get it: you’re looking to pass some time. Maybe you’ve got a long commute or just want something to do in your free time. Either way, there are plenty of games out there to keep you busy. But which ones should you play? Here’s my take on what’s worth your time and what isn’t:
Halo
Halo is a first-person shooter series developed by Bungie and now 343 Industries, which has since been acquired by Microsoft Studios. The franchise began in 2001 with Halo: Combat Evolved and its sequels chronicle the interstellar war between humanity and a theocratic alliance of aliens known as the Covenant.
The games take place in a 26th century science fiction setting, where mankind is locked in a violent conflict with an alien collective called The Covenant. You play as Master Chief John-117, a supersoldier who must fight back against this threat while exploring ancient Forerunner technology on behalf of humanity’s United Nations Space Command faction.
Battlefield 1
- Battlefield 1 is a first-person shooter video game developed by EA DICE and published by Electronic Arts. It is the fourteenth installment in the Battlefield franchise.
- Battlefield 1 takes place during World War I, featuring new weapons, vehicles, and map locations as well as additional single-player missions. The campaign revolves around British soldier “Red” Daniels as he participates in various battles on the Western Front including at Gallipoli.
- The game offers several multiplayer modes including Conquest Mode which tasks players with capturing land from other teams to gain points for their team.
Titanfall 2
Titanfall 2 is a first-person shooter video game developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on October 28, 2016.
The player can choose between six different Titans, each with its own unique weapons, abilities and core gameplay mechanics. The game also features a single-player campaign which focuses on the relationship between the protagonist Jack Cooper and his Titan BT-7274.
Gears of War 4
Gears of War 4 is a third-person shooter video game developed by The Coalition and published by Microsoft Studios. It is the fifth entry in the Gears of War series and the first to be developed for Windows 10 as well as Xbox One.
The story revolves around J.D., Kait and Del, who must fight against an invading force known as The Swarm with old and new friends from their pasts before they can return to their home planet.[1]
Minecraft
If you’re looking for a game where the only limit is your imagination and creativity, Minecraft is for you. In this sandbox video game, you can build anything you want using blocks. You can play solo or with friends online in servers and let your imagination run wild!
There are many different modes of play: survival mode where players have to gather resources; creative mode where no enemies spawn; adventure mode which gives more challenge than survival mode but less than hardcore mode with added features such as hunger, health and experience points needed to unlock new items/modes; hardcore mode as described above except that if the player dies their world ends (with no respawning).
Doom 2016
Doom is a first-person shooter video game developed by id Software and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth major installment in the Doom series and a reboot of the original Doom, also known as Doom 4. The game was announced on June 10, 2008 at E3 2008. The game was released on May 13, 2016 for Microsoft Windows via Bethesda Softworks’s own distribution service (Steam), PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles with their respective stores, as well as Linux systems that use SteamOS or Valve Corporation’s alternative operating system SteamOS 2.
Destiny 1+2
If you’re looking for an online multiplayer game that has a story mode, Destiny 2 is the best choice. The first Destiny game is also good, but it doesn’t have as many modes.
Destiny 2 is a first-person shooter where you go on missions and play competitively with other players in teams of 4 or 6 (depending on what type of activity you’re playing). In some ways, it’s like Call of Duty except that instead of being able to shoot at enemies from afar with an assault rifle, your character uses abilities such as invisibility and teleportation to get around quickly. The main difference between these two games is that Destiny 2 features more characters than its predecessor did: there are three classes for each gender (male/female) instead of two like previously thought.
Overwatch
Overwatch is a team-based multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. Overwatch assigns players into two teams of six, with each player selecting one of 24 pre-defined hero characters, called “heroes”, each with a unique style of play whose roles are divided into three general categories: Offense (whose role is to aggressively seek out and close down the enemy team), Defense (whose role is to escort or defend important objects) and Support (who provide assistance to teammates). Players on a team work together to secure and defend control points on a map or escort an objective within a time limit. Players gain cosmetic rewards that do not affect gameplay, such as character skins and victory poses; these are earned by completing various Challenges set forth by the developers for individual heroes.
Overwatch was released in May 2016 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One; the game has been supported with additional content since then. A mobile version of the game was developed by Kabam in collaboration with Blizzard but was discontinued after Blizzards acquisition of Kabam’s publishing division in February 2018.[4] Overwatch generated approximately US$1 billion within its first year from release.,[5] making it one of the best selling games launched within that period.[6][7] The game has been praised as being one of the greatest video games ever made,[8][9] receiving numerous Game Developers Choice Awards[10][11], IGN Awards,[12][13] Golden Joystick Awards[14] , SXSW Gaming Awards[15], The Game Award For Best Multiplayer Game,[16] SXSW Gaming Influencer award [17], Developer Of The Year Award at Gamescom 2017 [18]. It also received several nominations for The Game Award For Best Competitive Games[19].
League of Legends
League of Legends is a MOBA, or multiplayer online battle arena game. It’s one of the most popular games in the world, and it’s free-to-play. In LoL, you play as one of many different characters (called champions), each with their own unique abilities that can be customized over time. You then fight against other players (or bots) on a map that has turrets and powerups scattered around it.
You’ll start out playing as low-level characters who are new to the game but eventually gain experience points by killing computer-controlled “minions”–the little creatures that run around at your feet–and completing quests while playing online matches against human opponents or AI bots in practice mode. As your character levels up through this process (which takes several hours), they will unlock new abilities and equipment they can use during combat missions; these items fall into categories like weapons (generally swords), defensive gear like shields and armor plating for tanks who need extra protection against enemy attacks but lack mobility options compared to assassins who rely on speed rather than brute strength when facing off against opponents head-on.”
World of WarCraft (WoW)
World of Warcraft (WoW) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) video game created by Blizzard Entertainment. Released on November 23, 2004, it is the fourth released game set in the Warcraft fantasy universe. The first expansion set of the game, The Burning Crusade, was released on January 16, 2007 for Windows and macOS.
World of Warcraft takes place in an alternate timeline where azeroth has been ravaged by demons over millenia and its inhabitants have gone to war against them. You play as either Horde or Alliance players who must travel across Azeroth to fight off this threat while also dealing with each other’s political issues along the way.
don’t play games.
You should also stop playing video games.
I know, I know: it’s a tough habit to break. You might be thinking “But no one in the world is better at League of Legends than me!” or “I’m just so good at Hearthstone.” Or maybe you’re one of those people who plays Fortnite and thinks they’re not addicted because they only play when other people are around so it’s socially acceptable? Maybe you even have an active Discord chat with your friends where all you do is talk about how good you are at gaming?
Whatever your reasons for continuing to game are, I sincerely hope that by now my words have convinced you otherwise. By playing video games, we reinforce our addiction—and this feeds into a vicious cycle that gets us nowhere but further away from actual reality and deeper into the digital realm. Imagine if someone kept telling you how great something was instead of just letting it speak for itself; eventually it would become harder and harder for even them to get through without sounding forced or insincere—and this is exactly what happens when we constantly tell ourselves things like “The human mind needs video games” or “Gaming makes me happy.” In order to break free from these habits once and for all, it’s time we do away with these phrases all together!
Conclusion
We hope this list has helped you decide which game is right for you. If you’re still feeling unsure, go with one of the classics! Minecraft and League of Legends are always great choices that will never go out of style. Or maybe you should try something new? We recommend trying Destiny or Overwatch if it’s been a while since you’ve played any multiplayer games like these ones are all about teamwork with other people online (which can be really fun!).
