and cultivate a loyal audience of fans, choosing the right platform is everything.</p>\n\n<p>Sure, there is YouTube, which is where many of the most famous gamers on the internet got their start, with top streamers such as PewDiePie and Ninja still going strong today.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\"

streaming career where all the action is currently, you need to learn how to stream on <a href=\"https://www.twitch.tv/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Twitch</a>.</p>\n\n<p>This is where the majority of market share and it is where you are most likely to attract a regular audience of engaged viewers, no matter what game you are playing. Read on to find out exactly how to go live on Twitch and launch your gaming career.</p>\n\n<h2>A Brief History of Streaming On Twitch</h2>\n\n<p>Founded in 2007 as Justin.TV before changing its name in 2014, Twitch is a dedicated live-streaming platform that is owned by <a href=\"https://www.vox.com/2014/8/26/6067085/amazon-twitch-tv-video-games-live-streaming-league-of-legends-dota-2\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon</a>, which acquired the platform for $1 billion after an intense and highly-publicized bidding war with Google.</p>\n\n<p>Today, there are more than 9 million active streamers that use the platform, the vast majority of which do so to broadcast video game content. Twitch also has 27 million daily viewers, with a few channels peaking at more than a million live views.</p>\n\n<p>In the realm of video game streaming content, Twitch holds the overwhelming majority of the market share, with close to 70% of all video game live-stream viewing hours taking place on the platform. Trailing behind it is <strong>YouTube </strong>at 22% and <strong>Facebook </strong>at 11%.</p>\n\n<p>This is why knowing how to start a stream on Twitch is so important for any aspiring gaming influencer. By leveraging the reach and tools available on Twitch, you can connect with your target audience and with the global streaming community.</p>\n\n<p>With that in mind, here's why and how to start streaming on Twitch.</p>\n\n<h2>Why stream on Twitch?</h2>\n\n<p>There are many practical reasons to learn how to start a stream on Twitch. One of these is the immense market share enjoyed by the platform, as we have already covered. However, this is not the only reason to learn how to stream on Twitch.</p>\n\n<p>Twitch is the ideal platform for streamers because it is very easy to use and offers a huge range of in-built tools and software that you can use to create perfect streaming content.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Twitch is very easy to use for newbie streams\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_19/rage-5.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Twitch offers its streaming affiliates straightforward pathways to monetize their content, through ads, donations, and subscriptions.</p>\n\n<p>Crucially, the barriers to entry are much lower on Twitch than on YouTube, meaning that it is easier to begin streaming and making money from your content.</p>\n\n<p>In order to become a Twitch affiliate and start monetizing your content, all you need to do is broadcast more than 500 minutes of content within seven days, with an average of three viewers or more. That's it.</p>\n\n<p>Compare and contrast this to YouTube, where a gaming streamer would need to first attract 1,000 subscribers and rack up more than 4,000 hours of total watch time.</p>\n\n<p>It's also worth mentioning that the terms for monetization are more generous on Twitch since 100% of donations go to streamers and Twitch takes a lower cut of ad revenue than YouTube does.</p>\n\n<p>If you are serious about making game streaming a viable career option, learning how to stream on Twitch is the obvious choice.</p>\n\n<h2>How to Create Your Twitch Account</h2>\n\n<p>Before you can learn how to go live on Twitch on PC or elsewhere, you first need to create your Twitch account, which you can do directly from the Twitch website. First, you must make sure that you are able and eligible to be a Twitch streamer.</p>\n\n<p>For example, one of the most common questions potential streamers have is in regards to how old you have to be to stream on Twitch. The answer, by the way, is 13 years old.</p>\n\n<p>Remember that any user found to be underage when streaming content will immediately be banned from the platform for life.</p>\n\n<p>You must also make sure you are in a country that actually allows you to stream on Twitch.</p>\n\n<p>For example, Slovakia, China, and Russia all have active Twitch bans in place in 2021, so check that you can actually legally stream your video gaming content via the platform first.</p>\n\n<p>Now that we've covered that, let's quickly go through the step-by-step process for creating a Twitch account:</p>\n\n<h3>1. Review the Twitch Community Guidelines</h3>\n\n<p>Thoroughly read through the community guidelines so that you know what kind of streaming content and behavior is acceptable and what rules you are bound to when creating content. Falling afoul of Twitch community guidelines can be exceedingly costly.</p>\n\n<h3>2. Create Your Twitch Account</h3>\n\n<p>All you need to do to create your account is click the \"sign up\" on the Twitch homepage. Enter your email, username, password, and age information. After this, set up your safety and privacy settings and your payment platform of choice. That's it.</p>\n\n<h3>3. Enable Security Settings</h3>\n\n<p>In order to successfully broadcast content on Twitch, you must have your two-factor authentication settings (2FA) enabled. You can only do this on a desktop, so head to your computer if you are attempting to create your account via mobile.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, you will need your phone handy in order to complete the 2FA setup, which involves sending a text code to your number.</p>\n\n<h3>4. Begin the Setup Process</h3>\n\n<p>Now, all that you need to do is customize your dashboard, select your topic areas of interest, add or remove filters, and so on.</p>\n\n<p>Twitch allows you to really create a channel that is truly your own, so make sure to really explore those account customization features.</p>\n\n<h2>Best Software for Streaming On Twitch</h2>\n\n<p>Opening your account is only the first step towards learning how to stream on Twitch. You also need to download the right software for the job, to ensure high-quality streaming content without disruption.</p>\n\n<p>Your first option as a beginner is Twitch's in-house software solution, known as Twitch Studio.</p>\n\n<p>Available for both Windows and Mac, Twitch studio is an all-rounder which offers everything you need to get started, including guided onboarding, webcam detection, starter layouts, chat function, and custom backgrounds. However, this software will only get you so far.</p>\n\n<p>You should consider some other popular streaming software options that can help you elevate your stream and attract larger audiences. These include:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><strong>XSplit</strong>: a popular paid solution that allows for simultaneous broadcasts and game-capturing tools such as slow-mo, reverse, and more.</li>\n\t<li><strong>OBS Studio</strong>: a free, open-source solution that has thousands of features, meaning it can take a while to master. However, it is worth it.</li>\n\t<li><strong>vMix</strong>: strictly for professionals, this is an industry-grade paid solution that allows for live mixing, <em>4K production</em>, and simultaneous streaming across Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>Best Gamer Hardware for Streaming On Twitch</h2>\n\n<p>When getting ready to start streaming on Twitch, you also should consider using the right hardware for the job. Whether you wish to stream <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy games</a> or battle royale shoot-em-ups, the right tech can make <em>all</em> the difference.</p>\n\n<p>Here are the absolute essentials to add to your streamer shopping list:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><strong>GPU</strong>: if you want to know how to stream on Twitch on your PC, a souped-up GPU makes all the difference to the quality of your gaming and how good it looks.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Webcam</strong>: your audience will want to see you while you are playing, so invest in a high-quality HD webcam and some good lighting.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Microphone</strong>: what you have to say is the main thing people tune in for, so make sure they can hear you!</li>\n\t<li><strong>Green Screen</strong>: when you have a green screen, your stream can take on any shape or form that you want.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Streaming Deck</strong>: popular with professional streamers, a deck allows you to easily trigger commands, adjust the lighting and sound, and more with just a flick of your finger.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>How to Stream On Twitch On PC</h2>\n\n<p>For those who want to know how to stream live on Twitch on PC, there are a few pointers to keep in mind:</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>First, make sure all of your hardware is connected to your PC and run a test on every single item to make sure it is working properly before you launch.</li>\n\t<li>Then, make sure all of your streaming software is actually connected to your Twitch account, which you can do by logging into Twitch and going to <em>Account > Settings</em>. If there are any video or audio sources you plan to incorporate into your stream, make sure that all of your assets are ready to go.</li>\n\t<li>Finally, check your Twitch settings to ensure that you have set everything to the optimum bitrate and upload speeds. Don't worry, Twitch will automatically recommend the correct settings for your device.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<h2>How to Stream On Twitch for Consoles</h2>\n\n<p>If you want to stream content <em>directly </em>from your Xbox or Playstation, the process is not too different than with a PC. However, there are some important points to take into account:</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>First, remember to download the Twitch app from the Xbox or PS store. Make sure to <em>connect your console to your Twitch account</em>.</li>\n\t<li>On Playstation, this is achieved by scanning an on-screen QR code when you launch the app. On Xbox, you connect via the 2FA system, so make sure your smartphone is nearby.</li>\n\t<li>Another point; when streaming on your <em>Playstation</em>, it is essential to go to your settings and switch off HDCP, as Twitch will not run if this feature is not disabled. On <em>Xbox</em>, you must go to your settings and head to the Game Content section, where you can enable \"You can broadcast gameplay\" to allow Twitch to function.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<h2>How to Stream On Twitch via Smartphone</h2>\n\n<p>Streaming from your smartphone might probably be the simplest method to do so:</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>All you need to do is download the Twitch app and log-in to your account.</li>\n\t<li>From here, the only thing left to do is tap the \"Go Live\" button at the top of the screen, which will allow you to instantly launch a stream featuring both a camera feed and your mobile gaming feed.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>Now you're good to go! You can stream any of your favorite genres, from <a href=\"/en/games/genre/pvp-games/\">PvP games</a> to match-3. Streaming does not get much easier than this.</p>\n\n<h2>How to Stream On Twitch Like a Pro</h2>\n\n<p>Of course, while the tools for streaming on Twitch are more accessible than ever, it takes more to be a successful content creator. Here are a few pointers for streaming like a Pro and attracting a larger audience:</p>\n\n<h3>Nail down your niche</h3>\n\n<p>This is <em>the </em>most important factor for success. You need a unique value offering that will make viewers choose you over another streamer. Perhaps you want to be a comedy channel for a specific gaming community. Perhaps you want to explore rare mods and skins. Maybe you're an ASMR streaming channel. The choice is yours.</p>\n\n<h3>Play what you love</h3>\n\n<p>We really cannot stress this enough. If you do not play a game that you love, your audience will be able to tell. You need to be genuinely passionate about your choice of game, as this will shine through in your content and make audiences more drawn to you.</p>\n\n<h3>Generate a lot of content</h3>\n\n<p>There is no getting around this. You must generate a large volume of quality content in order to climb Twitch's rankings and get exposure to your target audience. It is especially important to create a lot of content when you are just starting out.</p>\n\n<h2>Start Your Journey Today</h2>\n\n<p>If you are ready to become a successful Twitch streamer, there is no better time to get started than right now. Whether you want to become a millionaire gaming personality or just cultivate a community of like-minded gamers, Twitch has the tools to empower you to do it.</p>\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https://plarium.com/en/blog/how-to-stream-on-twitch/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"How to Stream on Twitch: A Guide for the Curious Gamer\",\n  \"image\": \"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_20/clan-leader-2.jpg\",  \n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"url\": \"https://plarium.com\"\n  },  \n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2021-11-09\"\n}\n</script>","date":"11/9/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_20/clan-leader-2.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13524"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/best-free-pc-games-2021/"},"strings":{"title":"The 7 Best Free PC Games to Play in 2021","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"480000","description":"<p>If there is one thing that gamers love more than anything, it's a freebie. Fortunately, the PC gaming community, with its penchant for indie releases and open-source content, is an absolute gold mine for excellent <a href=\"/en/games/category/free-to-play-games/\">free-to-play (F2P)</a> content.</p>\n\n<p>But what are the best free PC games for 2021? When there are so many great contenders from the freebie sector, it can be hard to narrow it down to a definitive list. Regardless, we've decided to give it a go anyway.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Without further ado, here are the unmissable free <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC games</a> 2021 that you need to be playing.</p>\n\n<h2>1. Path of Exile</h2>\n\n<p>Probably the best <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPG</a> out there and definitely a must-play for anyone who is a fan of <a href=\"/en/games/genre/medieval-games/\">medieval games</a> generally. A feature that makes Path of Exile one of the best free PC games in 2021 is that it offers an extraordinary breadth and depth for an F2P game.</p>\n\n<p>Set on the sinister and sprawling open-world universe of Wraeclast, a place full of magic, intrigue, war, and statecraft. The main goal of the game is to build your supernatural skillsets and fighting acumen, to take on a range of sinister enemies.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/bNx68r2TzRY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This is a game with a massive cult following. One that has grown as the game has added a huge number of free updates and expansions, the most recent of which came out in mid-2021.</p>\n\n<p>If you're a fan of the award-winning Diablo series, you'll definitely love this gripping, imaginative, and surprisingly emotive role-playing game. The sequel is due for release in 2022, meaning that now is the best time to experience the original in all its glory.</p>\n\n<h2>2. Call of Duty: Warzone</h2>\n\n<p>Assessing the top free PC games 2021 has seen, we cannot forget to mention the <a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/blog/battle-royale/\">battle royale games</a> that have taken the world by storm in recent years.</p>\n\n<p>While there are so many contenders worthy of inclusion on a list of free PC games in 2021 that are definitely worth playing, it is Call of Duty: Warzone, that stands<em> head and shoulders </em>above the rest for us.</p>\n\n<p>This is a game that takes all the things we love about the CoD series, including innovative weapons systems, stunning maps, and unparalleled stealth mechanics, and gives it to millions of users for free.</p>\n\n<p>The online deathmatch sequences are a thing of beauty, while the team strategy games force you to push your gaming skills to the absolute limits if you want to succeed. That is why Warzone is without a doubt one of the best free PC games 2021.</p>\n\n<h2>3. Planetside 2</h2>\n\n<p>When it comes to pure technological prowess, it honestly does not get much more impressive than the sprawling online multiplayer Planetside 2, which is completely <em>free </em>for all PC gamers worldwide.</p>\n\n<p>The premise alone is one of the most ambitious ever seen in the gaming world. The action takes place on a futuristic planet engaged in a world war. As the player, you take part in that war virtually in the way you want.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/41QFL4QB3NE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Your fellow soldiers and enemy combatants are made up entirely of other real-life players, all engaged in a virtual war to end all wars.</p>\n\n<p>With this massive premise, Planetside 2 managed to take home a <a href=\"https://gamerant.com/planetside-2-guinness-world-record/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Guinness World Record</a> for the most players ever in a single battle - 1,158 people! In 2021, up to 2,000 people can participate in a single battle for territory.</p>\n\n<p>All the while, the graphics, mechanics, and story are as good as anything you would find on a top-tier console game. The fact that all of this is 100% free of charge is <em>astounding</em> and makes this one of the best free PC games for 2021.</p>\n\n<h2>4. The Supper</h2>\n\n<p>Not all of the best free PC games 2021 are massive feats of design and engineering. Some of the standout titles we have seen are so worth playing because of the ways in which they take very simple concepts and turn them into something unforgettable.</p>\n\n<p>This is certainly the case with The Supper, an indie title that definitely ranks among the top free PC games 2021. In the game, you play a weary and vengeful tavern owner who serves some very questionable dishes to a trio of pirates who has wronged you in the past.</p>\n\n<p>This is a tale of intrigue, vengeance, and horror that forces you to make some difficult and darkly humorous moral choices.</p>\n\n<p>The game is brutal and short, with a runtime of around two hours. However, as far as free PC games 2021 go, this is about as good as it gets, especially if you are looking for a gripping storyline.</p>\n\n<h2>5. We Are Broken</h2>\n\n<p>Imagine this: it is a dark and stormy night. You awake in a pitch-black room, to find yourself facing a terrifying vampire. What he wants from you is simple: information on where the rest of the \"human resistance\" is currently hiding.</p>\n\n<p>Over the next few hours, it is your job to resist interrogation and try not to break as the vampire interrogates you and dangles threats, promises, riches, and brutal coercion in front of you in an attempt to make you talk.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/UitO-vOktVg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This is We Are Broken, and it is without a doubt one of the best free PC games still available in 2021. There are no fancy fighting mechanics or open worlds to explore.</p>\n\n<p>All you do is click on the answer you wish to give your interrogator, pausing to think of the consequences of each answer and trying not to betray your human friends. It's a game that is as immersive as it can get, and it is 100% free to play.</p>\n\n<h2>6. Team Fortress 2</h2>\n\n<p>Some might find this one to be a surprising entry on a list of the best free PC games for 2021 but bear with us. TF2 has been going strong for almost 15 years and anyone who has been playing for that long will tell you that it has aged like fine wine.</p>\n\n<p>This is FPS action at its most chaotic, creative, and carnage-filled. The iconic Western-cum-steampunk themed maps and characters remain, as well as a huge amount of additional content that is pumped out on an almost weekly basis.</p>\n\n<p>Whether it's team deathmatch, capture the flag, or control point that floats your boat, Team Fortress 2 is exactly how these classic games are meant to be played.</p>\n\n<p>Download this free PC game on Steam, sign in at any hour of the day, and you are guaranteed to be dropped into a packed lobby with players from around the world. This is an all-time classic that remains one of the best free PC games of 2021 and beyond.</p>\n\n<h2>7. Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall</h2>\n\n<p>Some of the best free PC games of 2021 are those that have been out for a long time in a different <em>format</em>. This is certainly the case with Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall. This is the second game in the critically-acclaimed Elder Scrolls series, released in 1994 to little fanfare.</p>\n\n<p>Plans to remaster and reupload it as a free game were in the works for many years, with Bethesda keeping it in developer hell for way too long.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/78jEGXWRL-o\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>However, it was finally released in its glory, albeit with shiny new graphics and gameplay, as a gift to the many fans of this iconic series. In Daggerfall, you can experience the best of Elder Scrolls, without paying a <em>single </em>penny.</p>\n\n<p>Explore the stunning and magical open world of Tamriel, navigating tribal intrigue, royal plots, exhilarating rescue quests, and terrifying monsters in full ES glory.</p>\n\n<p>If you are looking for maximum bang for your buck (or lack of bucks), then this is the free PC game that you should be playing.</p>\n\n<h2>Have You Found Your Favorite Game?</h2>\n\n<p>These are the absolute best free PC games of 2021.

You might be wondering how much does a game tester get paid? Or what skills do you need to start a career in testing games?</p>\n\n<p>So, we’re here to let you in on all of the intricacies of this relatively new and novel job. Below, you’ll find answers to all of your questions about how to become a game tester.</p>\n\n<p>If the title caught your eye, but you still don’t quite <em>know </em>what the job entails, don’t worry; we have you covered as well.</p>\n\n<h2>What Is A Video Game Tester?</h2>\n\n<p>When you think about how to become a videogame tester, you likely picture putting in hours of working through games to explore all of the points of interest.</p>\n\n<p>While spread across several different roles, that’s essentially what being a tester for game studios is: performing a form of quality control.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Making a living by testing games\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/26.png\" /></p>\n\n<p>A game tester is given some or all of a game by a development studio and has to check it for errors, from <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPG games</a> to <a href=\"/en/games/genre/war-games/\">war games</a> and everything in between.</p>\n\n<p>This all tends to happen before a product is released, in pre-alpha, alpha, and often through the beta stages of development. Aspects like glitches, bugs, visuals, programming issues, and errors are all tested in this job.</p>\n\n<p>There are several different types of game testers, so first, rather than asking how to become a game tester, you should ask: what kind of game tester do I want to become?</p>\n\n<p>Here are the different tasks within the game testing realm, and some that skew a bit more towards quality assurance:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Black-box</li>\n\t<li>Compatibility Testing: You need to test if the game works as it should on multiple platforms.</li>\n\t<li>Compliance Testing: You need to check that instructions and messages comply with the guidelines of the given platform.</li>\n\t<li>Functionality Testing: You need to find bugs, glitches, defects and check if features are well-integrated. This is the primary deployment of a video game tester.</li>\n\t<li>Focus Group Testing: You’re part of a group that plays the game and discusses its strengths and weaknesses.</li>\n\t<li>General Testing: You need to review the game’s usability and performance, sometimes through closed beta tests or prior to these.</li>\n\t<li>Localization Testing: You need to check the text and audio to ensure that it comes across as intended in your specialized regions, and may need to apply language changes where needed.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>For the most part, unless you live locally to one of the larger game development studios, game testers work from home.</p>\n\n<p>You’ll receive instructions of what needs testing and how, such as a feature or paths on different difficulty levels, and will be expected to complete all of the testing within the allocated time frame.</p>\n\n<h3>What’s The Difference Between A Game Tester And Quality Assurance?</h3>\n\n<p>The role of a game tester has you testing the overall experience of a section in a game and giving feedback. Much of what quality assurance (QA) does can overlap on the side of quality control, but QA examines from the more technical side, exploring code and writing bug reports.</p>\n\n<h2>How To Become A Game Tester: Skills Needed</h2>\n\n<p>Naturally, if you want to know how to become a game tester, you need to know if you have the skills expected of an applicant. Do you need to have so many years of hands-on gaming experience? Or do you need to know the technical intricacies of game development?</p>\n\n<p>The answer to both is: not really.</p>\n\n<p>Very much an entry-level job in the gaming industry, you don’t require any particular skills to become a game tester. That said, if you have any of the following skills and can demonstrate them, you’ll be in a good place:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Strong concentration, attention to detail, and commitment to repetitive tasks.</li>\n\t<li>Understanding what quality control and quality assurance aim to achieve.</li>\n\t<li>Ability to be flexible with working hours but also work in tight timeframes.</li>\n\t<li>Excellent organisational skills, ability to work methodically and explore problems from multiple angles.</li>\n\t<li>Very good writing to relay thoughts and feedback in a clear-cut, understandable report.</li>\n\t<li>An eye for detail, being able to look beyond the gameplay and explore the surrounding content.</li>\n\t<li>Deep knowledge of the modern gaming market, previous video games, existing gaming hardware, and some technical understanding.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>So, if you want to know how to become a game tester, you can start by running simulations on your own games. When you practice this, explore where the game doesn’t lead you and make a note of what you notice.</p>\n\n<p>Also, set yourself time limits to complete missions and test them thoroughly.</p>\n\n<h3>What Do You Need To Become A Game Tester?</h3>\n\n<p>A common question for those who want to explore how to become a videogame tester, the main answer is: a strong work ethic and gaming knowledge. As you learn the ropes, you’ll learn the skills, but a degree or quality control and assurance experience does help.</p>\n\n<h2>How To Become A Game Tester: How To Get A Job</h2>\n\n<p>The best way to get a job as a tester is to look out for job listings online. By searching “game tester” or “test” in the search engines of the sites below, you can see how to become a game tester with a studio:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.indeed.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Indeed.com</a></li>\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.glassdoor.com/index.htm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Glassdoor.com</a></li>\n\t<li><a href=\"https://jobs.gamesindustry.biz/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Jobs.Gamesindustry.biz</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3>How Long Does It Take To Become A Game Tester?</h3>\n\n<p>Timeframe is one of the main questions for people looking into how to become a video game tester.

By testing games in their pre-release form, you’ll learn what goes into a game as well.</p>\n\n<p>If you apply yourself and do plenty of further reading into the technical side of game creation, you’ll also develop tangible skills for the industry.</p>\n\n<p>As such, you’ll shift from learning how to become a game tester to learning how to branch out into other aspects of the video game industry.</p>\n\n<p>At the base level, you’ll get to play lots of games, get paid to do so, and mostly work your own flexible hours. That said, if you want to get to grips with the role and truly learn how to be a game tester of high quality, you will need to embrace the technical side early.</p>\n\n<p>As you test more, you’ll make more contacts within the industry.</p>\n\n<p>You need to be committed, pick up the system of quality control and assurance quickly, and provide good communications and reports.</p>\n\n<p>If you do and continue to develop your knowledge and skills, your aim of how to become a game tester may be your first stepping stone into the gaming industry.</p>\n\n<h3>How Much Do Game Testers Get Paid?</h3>\n\n<p>Now that you know what’s required of the role, you’re probably wondering if the money is worth you learning how to become a game tester.</p>\n\n<p>As a new tester, you can look at between $8 and $14 per hour for the most part, but sometimes higher based on local minimum wage laws.</p>\n\n<p>As you become a game tester of a high standard, you could then look at fixed wage jobs. If you accumulate three years of experience or more, you can aim for jobs offering $38,000 per year, likely with a more advanced, in-studio role.</p>\n\n<h3>How Old Do I Have To Be To Be A Game Tester?</h3>\n\n<p>The vast majority of companies that are looking for video game testers are looking for adults. So, 18-years-old tends to be the minimum age of a game tester.</p>\n\n<p>However, now that you know how to become a game tester, even if you’re looking for jobs a bit early, you can refine your skills with practice and research at home.</p>\n\n<h2>Time to Get Going</h2>\n\n<p>Now that you know everything that there is on how to become a game tester, the only thing left for us to do is wish you luck in your job search!</p>\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https://plarium.com/en/blog/become-a-game-tester/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"How to Become a Game Tester\",\n  \"image\": \"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_19/browser-game-header.jpg\",  \n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"url\": \"https://plarium.com\"\n  },  \n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2021-11-07\"\n}\n</script>","date":"11/7/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_19/browser-game-header.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13518"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/fan-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Rocky Relationship Between Fan Games & Developers, Explained","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Wish that your favorite games did that little bit more? Want to play classics that have been updated for modern tech? Maybe you should explore what fangames have on offer.</p>\n\n<p>As gamers, we all know that the standard way to play is to buy or download a game for free from an established publisher. The publishers and developers make sure that you get the product that they intend to deliver.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>These are the game creators who get all of the credit, and yet, the humble fan game has always had a place in the community.</p>\n\n<p>Whether they play with an existing game or build on a new idea entirely for an existing series, a fan game can tap into exactly what their fellow gamers want to see.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/BYQmp1ZM0jM\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>At the end of the day, games are here for you to enjoy, so if they come in the form of a fan game rather than an officially licensed property, should it matter?</p>\n\n<p>Well, as you can see below, a major arguing point in gaming has and remains to be the presence of fangames. So here, we’re delving into this unsung corner of gaming, looking at when fan games have found a home and where others are shunned.</p>\n\n<h2>What Is a Fan Game?</h2>\n\n<p>A fan game is a video game that’s made by people who aren’t attached to a development studio or publishing company. Usually, they are fans of the original game.</p>\n\n<p>You’ll often find a fangame to be like an existing game, either as a remake, a modification, or a clone. Some see fan games as a form of user-created content, while others question their validity and strike them down as copyright infringements.</p>\n\n<p>The internet is loaded with fan game creations, with their origins tracing back to the mid-90s. Some fan games have gone on to become their own official standalone titles.</p>\n\n<p>Others have reached huge player bases and fan acclaim, only for major companies to remove them.</p>\n\n<h2>Some Fan Games Are Mods, Some Fan Games Are Standalone Creations</h2>\n\n<p>One of the more common ways for a fan game to be made is through the piggybacking method of building a mod.</p>\n\n<p>Several official game developers grant access to their source code, enable modifications, and make development or editing tools available to the community. This has spawned some of the biggest <a href=\"/en/games/genre/pvp-games/\">PVP games.</a></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/z1lftysPVos\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This method of creating a fan game is better received by gaming companies. As you can imagine, developers that offer the tools to adapt their creations are happier to see fangames than those who don’t.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, there are usually rules, with the created content needing to expand rather than change the core title.</p>\n\n<h3>Enter the Standalone</h3>\n\n<p>On the flip side, you have the standalone fangame. Within several of the game-making sandbox games, fans will try to recreate their other favorite titles.</p>\n\n<p>Equally, they can turn to the readily available game engines, such as Unity, Game Maker, Crystal Space, or Headcannon. The free platforms and engines tend to be the choice.</p>\n\n<p>With fewer restrictions or a separate platform to build a game, many standalone fan games heavily draw from the mechanics and aesthetics of existing titles. This isn’t always to just make some quick cash, though.</p>\n\n<p>Most seek to improve or add a different spin to fan-favorite games of the past – particularly long-lost retro games.</p>\n\n<h2>What Is the Best Fan Game?</h2>\n\n<p>The best fan game choice depends on your preference. Whether you prefer novel <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy games</a> or remakes of classics, your choice of fangame will differ.</p>\n\n<p>However, the consensus in gaming would point to a major battle royale title or the two eSports games that have awarded the most money.</p>\n\n<h2>Those Who Oppose Fan Games</h2>\n\n<p>If you want the prime example of a company that hates fangames, look no further than the friendly Japanese giant Nintendo. Nintendo IPs have been a favorite of fan game creators over the decades, but they notoriously shut down such efforts.</p>\n\n<p>In 2021 alone, Nintendo issued a DMCA notice against 3791 fan game creations on the platform Game Jolt. Others ousted by the company include:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>A new monster-catching game in their series built on original assets.</li>\n\t<li>A high-definition creation of a classic N64 title in 2015.</li>\n\t<li>A game maker that allowed fans to make their own maps for Hyrule.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Nintendo isn’t the only company that hunts down any fan game that rises to prominence. The likes of Activision, Vivendi Universal, Sega, Konami, and Take-Two Interactive have also put an end to at least one fan game.</p>\n\n<h2>Why Does Nintendo Hate Fan Games?</h2>\n\n<p>Nintendo is incredibly protective of its IPs because it wants to uphold the brand identity of producing high-quality products.</p>\n\n<p>So, when a fan game is released that infringes the copyrights and trademarks to its IP, they see any potential issues as reflecting badly on the original products.</p>\n\n<h2>Are Fan Games Bad?</h2>\n\n<p>Many fan game creations don’t work well or are blatant copyright infringements. However, for the most part, a fan game is made from passion, inspiration, and a desire to improve a much-loved product.</p>\n\n<p>So, fangames aren’t inherently bad – you just need to find ones that play fair.</p>\n\n<h2>Some Fan Games Are Getting Major Publisher Backing</h2>\n\n<p>Nintendo certainly takes the hardest stance against each fan game that it encounters to be drawing from its properties. On the flip side, you’ll find many other major publishers either allowing fan games to exist or fully endorsing them and giving their backing.</p>\n\n<p>Valve has become somewhat of a fan game darling, not only allowing for many fan game creations to exist on the Steam platform but even giving financial backing in some instances.</p>\n\n<p>Some of the biggest online and competitive titles today only exist because Valve has backed the original fan game.</p>\n\n<h3>Fan Game-Friendly Developers</h3>\n\n<p>Along with Valve, Capcom is fan game-friendly on occasion. Bethesda Softworks have inspired many fan game creations within their expansive open-worlds, even releasing editions of games with fan-made mods.</p>\n\n<p>Although you will also see Activision ending some fan game projects, they have also backed fan development teams.</p>\n\n<p>It’s impossible to imagine a world of gaming without an abundance of fan game creations. While they’re fleeting, you can find many fangames to try, and some that simply started as a fan game.</p>\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https://plarium.com/en/blog/fan-games/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"The Rocky Relationship Between Fan Games & Developers, Explained\",\n  \"image\": \"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week49/raid-game-team.jpg\",  \n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"url\": \"https://plarium.com\"\n  },  \n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2021-11-07\"\n}\n</script>","date":"11/7/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week49/raid-game-team.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13514"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/console-generations/"},"strings":{"title":"What Are the 9 Console Generations?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Looking at the reality-bending, immersive gaming experiences on offer today, it can be easy to forget the humble origins of video gaming. We have come a long way over the years, with new console generations refining gaming every decade or so.</p>\n\n<p>Each new console generation represents not only a leap forward in technology but also a cultural progression.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>The games we associate with console generations, and the features that we treasure the most, speak to the times they were released, as well as the development of video game culture from the 1970s up to the present era.</p>\n\n<p>If you're excited about next-gen consoles and want to learn more about the legacy from which they sprang, read our essential history of console generations.</p>\n\n<h2>1st generation consoles</h2>\n\n<p>The dawn of the video gaming era arguably began in 1972, with the release of Baer's Magnavox Odyssey.</p>\n\n<p>The game was incapable of providing color, sound, or just about anything other than 3 movable dots on the screen, controlled by clunky dials plugged into your television set.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Dj66VO1J9gQ\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>What's more, Baer had to release a \"screen upgrade\" not long after, which consisted of a piece of cling film you wrapped around your TV so that you could actually view your game of virtual tennis.</p>\n\n<h2>2nd generation consoles</h2>\n\n<p>Beginning around 1976, the second generation of consoles was defined by iconic machines like the Fairchild Channel F, the Atari 2600, and the Bally Astrocade.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/5M1zO2v9ixY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>These were the first games that were made available via separate cartridges, rather than being fused to limited circuit boards. In addition, those old-school dials finally gave way to actual joystick controllers, giving us video gaming as we broadly recognize it to this day.</p>\n\n<h2>3rd generation consoles</h2>\n\n<p>Beginning in 1983, the so-called \"eight-bit\" of the console generations ushered in the NES, the Atari 7800, and the Commodore 64, arguably the first full \"modern\" gaming consoles that many gaming fans still cherish dearly to this day.</p>\n\n<p>This era saw the golden age of <a href=\"https://www.forbes.com/companies/nintendo/?sh=14d6922e1898\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Nintendo</a>, the Japanese video game empire that would take over the world by launching iconic franchises such as Zelda, Mario Bros., and Metroid. With these games, the \"button-masher\" genre was officially born.</p>\n\n<h2>4th generation consoles</h2>\n\n<p>The fourth generation kicked up the color and the graphics a few notches, with 16-bit taking over the industry by 1987.</p>\n\n<p>This time period saw the release of the Sega Genesis and the Super NES, with most of the games focusing on reproducing the arcade \"runner\" and shooter experience at home.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/PRVr1heimY8\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Perhaps most significantly, 4th gen saw video games become a truly mass-market product for the first time, with the Sega Genesis shifting more than 30 million units worldwide by 1990, spurred on by smash-hit games such as Sonic the Hedgehog and Mortal Kombat.</p>\n\n<h2>5th generation consoles</h2>\n\n<p>Of all the console generations, the 5th gen was the one that brought the genre of <a href=\"/en/games/genre/adventure-games/\">adventure games</a> to our screens for the first time.</p>\n\n<p>Thanks to the advent of full 3D graphics and CD ROM software that allowed for longer games and save files, the world was able to play true story-based content such as Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, and Resident Evil.</p>\n\n<p>This was an era that ran from around 1993 and was undoubtedly defined fully by the Playstation, as well as the N64 to a lesser extent.</p>\n\n<h2>6th generation consoles</h2>\n\n<p>While the fifth generation was the 32-bit generation, the following sixth generation blew us all away with 128-bit gaming, an innovation that made games cheaper, more accessible, and saw individual games sell tens of millions of units for the first time ever.</p>\n\n<p>This is the 1998-2005 generation, the one that gave us the first Xbox, the Dreamcast, the PS2, and the GameCube.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/hn3me6w_dE8\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This was undoubtedly the generation that dislodged Nintendo and Sega from the peak position, with Sony and Microsoft tipping the scales in their favor with game-changing titles such as Morrowind, Prince of Persia, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.</p>\n\n<h2>7th generation consoles</h2>\n\n<p>7th generation consoles were undoubtedly the shortest-lived of all of the generations but were nonetheless ones that introduced novel ideas about what gaming could be, some of which are still with us today.</p>\n\n<p>The most notable moment in the 7th generation consoles period was Nintendo's comeback with the release of the Wii and the DS handheld console, which Microsoft and PlayStation were keen to copy with their own versions of motion capture technology.</p>\n\n<p>Wii Sports remains one of the most iconic and widely played games of all time, even if the once-promising form of gameplay it represented has died a death since then.</p>\n\n<h2>8th generation consoles</h2>\n\n<p>This is the generation that defined gaming innovation. 8th gen, which began in around 2012 and brought us the Xbox One and PS4 was the first era of the blockbuster game.</p>\n\n<p>It gave us games that cost more to develop than even the most ambitious Hollywood productions, while some, such as GTA V, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, made studios more money than was previously thought possible in this industry.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/lFianZtymkI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>It was the generation that brought video gaming and video gaming culture absolutely everywhere, and one that changed the media landscape forever.</p>\n\n<h2>9th generation consoles</h2>\n\n<p>9th generation consoles are just now having their impact felt. Currently, the PS5 and the Xbox Series S are the only contenders in this space, but the implications are plain to see.</p>\n\n<p>The graphics, computing power, and memory far outstrip anything we have seen before, promising hyperreal gaming that was previously out of reach. What's more, these next-gen consoles will come of age at a unique era in cross-platform gaming.</p>\n\n<p>Meanwhile, AI, VR, AR, and blockchain will all likely shape the development of this exciting new generation of games, while also influencing trends in <a href=\"/en/games/platform/browser-games/\">browser games</a>.</p>\n\n<h2>Next Gen Consoles</h2>\n\n<p>This completes our run-down of the history of console generations. What will the future bring? Will it be AI updates of AR and VR? Will it be something completely new and different, maybe something we haven't even been able to fathom?</p>\n\n<p>And the most important question of all - when will we be able to <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smell-O-Vision#Legacy\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">smell games</a>? </p>\n\n<p>For the time being, we will just have to be patient. Or maybe one of you reading this post will be responsible for the next stage in gaming? We can't <em>wait </em>to see how this turns out!</p>\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https://plarium.com/en/blog/console-generations/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"What Are the 9 Console Generations?\",\n  \"image\": \"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/images/29.png\",  \n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"url\": \"https://plarium.com\"\n  },  \n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2021-11-02\"\n}\n</script>","date":"11/2/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/images/29.png"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13510"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/4x-games/"},"strings":{"title":"Everything You Need to Know About 4X Games","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>For gamers of all stripes, real-time strategy games that allow you to build and conquer your own virtual world have held a strong cultural sway for decades now.</p>\n\n<p>If you are even remotely familiar with the world of real-time strategy (RTS) games, you have probably come across the term \"4X games\" before. But what are 4X games, and what is a 4X <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy game</a> actually meant to consist of?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>What Does 4X Mean in Games?</h2>\n\n<p>To put it in simple terms, let's break down that \"4X\". Coined during the earliest days of the genre back in the 1980s, the four X's in 4X games stand for:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><strong>Explore:</strong> a core feature involves sending your scouts across the map to uncover and unlock new territories.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Expand:</strong> you can build your in-game empire by claiming new territories for yourself and building settlements on them.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Exploit:</strong> you can use the resources in your world to expand your settlements and increase your power.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Exterminate:</strong> you can attack and kill rival players and in-game enemies as you grow your empire.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>What Is a 4X Game?</h2>\n\n<p>In a nutshell, the best 4X games, no matter what time or space they are set, involve cunning, diplomacy, alliance-building, and a fair share of trickery in order to succeed. Now that you know what a 4X game is, it's time to choose the best ones around.</p>\n\n<p>Remember that the game in question technically <em>must </em>have all four features in order to qualify. When assessing the top 4X games in history, the <em>Civilization </em>series is the most oft-cited example, given that it so perfectly blends these elements to create a shining example of the genre.</p>\n\n<h2>What Is 4X Game Content?</h2>\n\n<p>A true 4X game is always characterized by a rich, gripping, and linear storyline that players must traverse as they conquer worlds.</p>\n\n<p>There is also invariably a turn-based format in all of the top 4X games, which forces all players to think very carefully before each move as if playing a game of chess.</p>\n\n<h2>Civilization VI</h2>\n\n<p>You cannot have any roundup of the best 4X games without mentioning this bad boy. As well as being one of the best <a href=\"/en/games/genre/action-games/\">action games</a> around, Civilization VI is the 4X game par excellence, one that any newcomer to the genre will love.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/5KdE0p2joJw\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This is the game that takes everything we know and love about the Civ series and cranks it up to 11, allowing you to build a world empire that spans millennia and incorporates a staggering number of historical and cultural references.</p>\n\n<p>This is 4X gaming as it is meant to be played.</p>\n\n<h2>Galactic Civilizations III</h2>\n\n<p>Definitely one of the top space 4X games out there, <em>Galactic Civilizations III</em> is the one that pushes the boundaries of what is possible to the absolute limit. All of the action takes place within a 100% randomly generated galaxy that is yours to dominate.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Zs_qG1vPY_s\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Using a dizzying array of features, you can set the political agenda for your galactic government and expand accordingly, choosing your foreign policy, investment priorities, fiscal stance, military strategy, and more, all within the infinite reaches of deep space.</p>\n\n<h2>Europa Universalis IV</h2>\n\n<p>This is one of those 4X games that takes realism to a whole other level. As with the previous games in the series, EUIV takes place in a fictional Europe, comprised of several nations.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/zA-n6DXuG8M\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This game, which spans the Middle Ages to the Industrial Revolution, allows you to use realpolitik and diplomacy to get the upper hand over your European neighbors and conquer the continent.</p>\n\n<p>If you're interested in 4X games that have something to say and can teach you a lot about real-world history and politics, this is the one for you.</p>\n\n<h2>Stellaris</h2>\n\n<p>Another one of those unmissable 4X space games, <em>Stellaris </em>takes the hyper-realism and gritty politics of Europa and combines it with the stunning intergalactic setting of Galactic.</p>\n\n<p>It is quite possibly the largest in-game 4X environment in the world to date, with new updates and patches being constantly added by an eagerly engaged community of players.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Unl15Vl0btI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>While the goal is to stake out your corner of the galaxy and build a home on a planet of your choosing, the real beauty of Stellaris lies in the game's ability to automatically evolve and grow, meaning that nothing is predictable with this AI.</p>\n\n<p>Meanwhile, if you're on the lookout for the best <a href=\"/en/games/category/new-games/\">new games</a>, then this is one to keep in mind since free expansions and mods are added almost weekly.</p>\n\n<h2>Is There Also a 5X Game?</h2>\n\n<p>5X is an unsettled term that some gamers use to describe certain 4X-style games with an extra component. This could be <strong>EXpedience</strong>, which describes a 4X game with a special emphasis on diplomacy, or <strong>EXcavate</strong>, which describes a 4X game with a stronger focus on resource extraction.</p>\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https://plarium.com/en/blog/4x-games/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"Everything You Need to Know About 4X Games\",\n  \"image\": \"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/11/17.jpg\",  \n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"url\": \"https://plarium.com\"\n  },  \n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2021-10-31\"\n}\n</script>","date":"10/31/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/11/17.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13502"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/game-randomizer/"},"strings":{"title":"Game Randomizers 101","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Here, we will concentrate on <em><strong>game randomizer mods</strong></em> and those that <em><strong>select a game at random</strong></em> for you. What alterations do they make to the way you play and the enjoyment you will get?</p>\n\n<h2>Why Are Game Randomizers Used?</h2>\n\n<p>Game randomizers help make any gaming experience more <em>open </em>and <em>unique</em>, from <a href=\"/en/games/genre/adventure-games/\">adventure games</a> to <a href=\"/en/games/genre/robot-games/\">robot games</a> and everything in between.</p>\n\n<p>Rather than following a linear path through the map, you are encouraged to explore different parts of the game and do things that the original never included.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>They can make completing the game more challenging, even when it is a game that you <em>have completed </em>before.</p>\n\n<p>You need to think on your feet if the best weapons you need have been placed elsewhere or if enemies appear from out of nowhere when you least expect them.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Survival Games as PVP\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/25.png\" /></p>\n\n<p>You can enjoy a favorite game for longer in this way too, as it may feel like a completely new version.</p>\n\n<p>There is no denying the pleasure of seeing a game that you are familiar with but that is now presented in a very different way. It might even give you a reason to start playing a game you hadn’t played in years.</p>\n\n<h2>Type 1 - A Look at Game Randomizer Mods</h2>\n\n<p>The first thing to look at on any game randomizer list is how it gives you a way of making a certain game <em>completely </em>different. These are mods that change the way the game is played, turning it into something new even for experienced players.</p>\n\n<p>This sort of game randomizer only works on the chosen title. It could mean that the enemies are placed in different locations, or it could change the places where you will find valuable items like weapons and food.</p>\n\n<p>You could discover different skills and powers, add new locations, or the layout of the map might be completely different. Maybe a familiar room will lead you somewhere totally different now.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Surviving survival games\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/17_working_together.png\" /></p>\n\n<p>You can choose from lots of different game randomizer mods available for the most popular video games. This means that you may find a number of ways of altering your favorite game to give it a completely new look and feel.</p>\n\n<p>Some of these changes may make the game easier, while others turn it into something insanely difficult even if you consider yourself an expert at the basic game.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/HjBlGdMUJuw\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>You might see that a few things have been changed, or it might be that just about everything has been altered from the game you know and love.</p>\n\n<p>If you enjoy a popular game, there is a very good chance that you can find a game randomizer to freshen it up. Try a few of the options and see which ones suit you best.</p>\n\n<h2>Type 2 - Game Randomizers That Choose Random Games for You</h2>\n\n<p>The next way of shuffling up your gaming experience involves a different sort of game randomizer. In this case, you enter the randomizing site and are directed towards a game that has been chosen in a completely arbitrary way such as by spinning a wheel.</p>\n\n<p>This is a good choice if you aren’t sure what title you want to play right now. Maybe you have a lot of games you love and can’t decide which one to play. Or perhaps you are new to the gaming world and want to find out about a few of the titles you might like to try.</p>\n\n<p>It is unlikely that you are smitten by every version that you discover in this way. However, there is also a very good chance that you find some great new ways of playing by letting a randomizer do its work on your behalf.</p>\n\n<h2>Who Can Use a Randomizer?</h2>\n\n<p>Anyone can carry out the simple process of finding and adding a game randomizer. All you need to do is search for a game randomizer list on the game you are interested in.</p>\n\n<p>You will probably get more out of these mods if you have played the game a lot and understand it fully. In this way, you will appreciate the changes and how they alter the gameplay.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOs favors extended periods of play, while FPSs tend to last less than half an hour\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/20.png\" /></p>\n\n<p>Having said that, there is nothing to stop you from trying the random approach on a title you have recently started playing. You may find that you enjoy the shuffled experience more than the original.</p>\n\n<p>Game randomization is popular among speedrunners, as it forces them to adapt to different circumstances and find the best way of planning a new route and meeting the fresh challenges in front of them.</p>\n\n<p>But anyone who enjoys playing games can add a game randomizer to shuffle things around.</p>\n\n<h2>How to Find the Right Game Randomizer</h2>\n\n<p>You can easily search for new ideas by looking at titles on Twitch and YouTube videos. A lot of the time, you will see them labeled as randomized versions of the game and will tell you which game randomizer was used to produce the version you are watching.</p>\n\n<p>With other videos, you may just notice that things don’t look quite right. There may be subtle differences from the game you know, or you might see something that almost looks like a completely different title.</p>\n\n<p>If you see a randomized version but don’t know what tool has been used to achieve the changes, don’t despair. You can now search for different randomizers on that game by looking for a game randomizer list that includes it, and see which one appears to have been used.</p>\n\n<p>It is worth trying a few of these shuffled versions of your favorite games, as they each add something different to the overall experience. You should find something that appeals to you through a process of trial and error and by seeing what other players have to say in their reviews.</p>\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https://plarium.com/en/blog/game-randomizer/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"Game Randomizers 101\",\n  \"image\": \"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/20.png\",  \n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"url\": \"https://plarium.com\"\n  },  \n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2021-10-31\"\n}\n</script>","date":"10/31/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/20.png"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13506"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/halloween-horror-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The 5 Best Horror Games to Celebrate Halloween","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"480000","description":"<p>We’re a matter of hours away from the scariest day of the year, so what better time to pay homage to some of the best horror games on PC and console?</p>\n\n<p>If you’re looking for new video games for Halloween, we’ve got a winning quintet of the scariest horror games that will require ice in your veins to survive and thrive in the darkness of October 31.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>The five horror games we’ve hand-picked are chosen based on their dark themes and concepts, with a healthy dose of zombification, horror fiction and downright terror that’s guaranteed to get your juices flowing for your video game Halloween fix.</p>\n\n<h2>1. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard</h2>\n\n<p>In terms of the very best horror games, PC or otherwise, it’s hard to look beyond Resident Evil 7 for its raw intensity and the way it stays true to the Resident Evil franchise.</p>\n\n<p>Returning to its survival horror roots, Resident Evil 7 enables players to solve puzzles and explore atmospheric open worlds in true first-person perspective.</p>\n\n<p>Fans of virtual reality (VR) gaming will want this at the top of their list of Halloween video games, providing you have a compatible PlayStation VR headset.</p>\n\n<p>Capcom has developed an in-house RE Engine which combines a host of VR-related features to bring a new audio-visual experience and allow you to explore everything in gory detail.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/W1OUs3HwIuo\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Resident Evil 7: Biohazard has shifted over ten million copies as of October 2021. In the months and years after its release, it became one of the most successful horror games in terms of industry nominations and awards.</p>\n\n<p>It was named Best VR Game at the 2017 Golden Joystick Awards and 2017’s The Game Awards, as well as the 2018 SXSW Gaming Awards.</p>\n\n<p>In 2018, the game also received multiple accolades at the National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers Awards spanning its sound effects, sound mixing in VR and VR-based control design.</p>\n\n<p>The addition of the immersive VR has attracted many new gamers to the Resident Evil franchise.</p>\n\n<p>In many ways, this is a game that feels like VR was made for, with plenty of frighteningly frantic experiences lurking around every corner, making it comfortably one of the scariest horror games in VR today.</p>\n\n<h2>2. SOMA</h2>\n\n<p>SOMA ranks highly as one of the scariest horror games, even if there are certain aspects of its game dynamics that are confusing.</p>\n\n<p>However, despite the lack of a realistic and consistent stealth section, this is still one of the most engaging horror video games that draws comparisons with games like Bioshock due to its fusion of biotech and underwater game environments.</p>\n\n<p>Rifling through the decrepit, underwater wreck of PATHOS-II, you’ll encounter some serious problems.</p>\n\n<p>This gaming world contains glitching humans aplenty, with a disgusting array of slimy creatures and growths to negotiate.</p>\n\n<p>In this single-player game, you’ll take control of protagonist Simon Jarrett, who attempts to uncover the mystery of this subsea research facility that’s gone all too wrong.</p>\n\n<p>One of few horror games to be available on Linux, Windows, OS X and the PS4 and Xbox One, Frictional Games has enjoyed widespread critical acclaim for SOMA.</p>\n\n<p>Many critics dared gamers to give SOMA a try – even those that held a previous dislike for non-combat horror games.</p>\n\n<p>SOMA took the survival horror genre to new heights, with clever, atmospheric audio and a powerful storyline helping to deliver one of the most spooky games that’s well-paced throughout. In 2018, <a href=\"https://www.gamesradar.com/best-horror-games/2/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">GamesRadar</a> ranked SOMA eighth in their top 20 horror games of all time.</p>\n\n<h2>3. The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners</h2>\n\n<p>Released in January 2020, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners is Skydance Interactive’s immersive iteration of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead comic book series.</p>\n\n<p>It was originally launched on VR via Oculus and Steam but was later unveiled on PlayStation VR and Oculus Quest. Every fibre of this game’s existence is designed to create a feeling of loneliness, amid a zombie apocalypse.</p>\n\n<p>The VR elements of this game are also physically and mentally draining, which help to create that feeling of desperation when face-to-face with oncoming zombies.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/PwQx872oy4A\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Using the larger weaponry to kill zombies in the house and on the surrounding streets requires the use of both hands. As the protagonist, you’ll be given missions from isolated contacts or contacts elsewhere in the world via radio.</p>\n\n<p>With extremely limited resources compared with other horror games, you’ll battle hard for every scrap you can get your paws on.</p>\n\n<p>The power of VR gaming is characterised in this game. Deep down you know that you are spending hours on your own, lurking around in buildings and areas you shouldn’t be, but seeing a cluster of zombies bearing down on you is enough for your brain to flip its lid.</p>\n\n<p>The biggest criticism is that this game is considered <em>too realistic</em> by some gamers, with success seemingly impossible on occasion.</p>\n\n<h2>4. Silent Hill 2</h2>\n\n<p>Fans of retro video games for Halloween should check out Konami’s second iteration of the Silent Hill series. Silent Hill 2 has an engaging storyline to rival the best horror themed <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO games</a> like The Secret World.</p>\n\n<p>It focuses on protagonist James Sunderland, a man who receives a ‘letter’ from his deceased wife stating that she’s at Silent Hill waiting to be found. It was first released on PlayStation 2 in 2001 before being ported across to Windows (PC) a year later.</p>\n\n<p>The sequel to Silent Hill had been in the making for two years, with its plotline heavily influenced by a popular novel by <a href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/3137322.Fyodor_Dostoevsky\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Russian author Dostoevsky</a>, titled Crime and Punishment.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/4LCl2_DK6QU\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>In terms of its artistic influences, Silent Hill 2 also takes its horror games inspiration from the likes of iconic film directors namely <a href=\"https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000033/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Hitchcock</a>, and <a href=\"https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000343/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Cronenberg</a>. The beauty of Silent Hill 2 is that the enemies are by no means eviler than in the original release.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, Pyramid Head and the nurses are scary enough, but James Sunderland’s own personal demons are more fearsome than any other enemy as the town of Silent Hill brings them to bear.</p>\n\n<p>Once James reaches Silent Hill, all he encounters are memories and sorrow related to the death of his wife. Every inch of this god forsaken town is crawling with horrors, with James having to dig deep to look beyond his personal anguish to discover what’s really at play here.</p>\n\n<p>Unfortunately for James – and you – the deeper you dig, the darker and creepier it gets.</p>\n\n<p>Konami’s atmospheric soundtrack for Silent Hill 2 was so popular that it eventually released its eight-track composition for purchase by gamers – proof if it were needed how important audio and sound effects are in developing the best horror games.</p>\n\n<h2>5. Amnesia: Rebirth</h2>\n\n<p>Swedish gaming developer Frictional Games published the third instalment of the Amnesia survival horror games franchise in October 2020. If you’re after horror multiplayer games, this one is unlikely to be for you, given that it’s exclusively a single-player title.</p>\n\n<p>Its release coincides with the ten-year anniversary of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, with the first-person Rebirth assuming control of protagonist Tasi Trianon. A girl who is desperately seeking to find her friends amid dimly lit caves and ancient tombs.</p>\n\n<p>As you meander through the caves and tombs, you’ll notice the fear level of Tasi steadily rise.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/wqozgX92qBM\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The key is to avoid her hallucinations - when she begins to see things and hear voices in her head. It’s your job to control her fear by evading monsters, cracking codes and sourcing sufficient light to navigate each environment.</p>\n\n<p>Unlike some scary horror games, Amnesia: Rebirth does not contain a combat system. Consequently, as Tasi you can only run or hide from your enemies.</p>\n\n<p>According to Frictional Games’ co-founder, Thomas Grip, the concept of Amnesia: Rebirth was “survival”.</p>\n\n<p>Rather than short, sharp scares, the game’s creators sought to develop an overarching claustrophobic narrative of loneliness akin to that of The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners. Although this wouldn’t be classified under the <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPG games</a> category, there’s enough character development to consider it a <em>horror-themed</em> RPG.</p>\n\n<h2>Get into the spirit of the spooky season with us!</h2>\n\n<p>Don’t forget, with the shorter days and longer nights, you’ve got all the time in the world to design a killer Halloween costume in honor of our most <a href=\"/en/games/category/popular-games/\">popular games</a>.

Just when you think developers have come up with the greatest game imaginable, another offering drops and blows it out of the water.</p>\n\n<p>The best PC games of 2021 have pushed the envelope further than ever, with revolutionary game mechanics, stories, and graphics.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Below is our <em>definitive </em>list of the best PC games of 2021. From first-person shooters to open-world epics, we’ve got it covered. And if you haven’t played all these, you’d better load them up and get gaming.</p>\n\n<p>There were a few games that didn’t make the cut, but we think you’ll agree that all the titles listed deserve to be here.</p>\n\n<h2>Elyon</h2>\n\n<p>For anyone in search of new <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO games</a>, South Korea has become one of their most prolific producers. One of the best PC games for 2021 is Elyon from Krafton. Originally <strong>Ascent: Infinite Realm</strong>, this title wasn’t well-received, so the developer decided to improve it.</p>\n\n<p>It is a fantasy offering with steampunk elements and involves fighting between two warring realms. The opposing factions in question are Vulpin and Ontari, and players need to choose their side at the start of the game.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/sovjPAZZHn0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The title uses <a href=\"/en/blog/game-engine/\">Unreal Engine 3</a> and earned praise for its detailed and visually pleasing graphics. It’s exclusive to Microsoft Windows, meaning PC players are currently the <em>only </em>people able to play it.</p>\n\n<p>Elyon was first released in South Korea at the end of 2020 because the developer decided to refine it in a smaller market, before making it available globally. It later came out in <a href=\"https://elyon.playkakaogames.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">October 2021</a> in North America and Europe.</p>\n\n<p>Kakao Games published the title in most territories, but Asiasoft released it in Southeast Asia. Players initially had to sign up to get access to the advanced beta, and when the game was released to the public it proved to be popular.</p>\n\n<h2>Humankind</h2>\n\n<p>Humankind from Amplitude Studios is one of the most ambitious PC exclusives ever made, as it provides players with an opportunity to completely rewrite human history.</p>\n\n<p>The 4X game has been compared to the much-loved Civilization series, as it focuses on major eras of human civilization.</p>\n\n<p>The game uses the Unity engine, and borrows some of the mechanics from previous Amplitude Studios offerings, Endless Space and Endless Legend.</p>\n\n<p>When released in August 2021, Humankind became the fourth-highest selling game in the USA that month. It received a strong critical response and has a score of <a href=\"https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/humankind\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">78/100 on Metacritic</a>.</p>\n\n<p>This title will appeal to people who enjoy in-depth games that take a lot of work and dedication.</p>\n\n<h2>Far Cry 6</h2>\n\n<p>Far Cry 6 is another game to feature a famous actor, in what appears to be a growing trend now that graphics can capture people’s expressions.</p>\n\n<p>This one includes Breaking Bad’s <a href=\"https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002064/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Giancarlo Esposito</a> as El Presidente, Anton Castillo, a dictator in charge of the fictional Caribbean island of Yara. Players take control of Dani Rojas, a guerilla fighter who’s attempting to bring down the fascist regime.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/nzaHfpL2AdA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Before this latest installment from Ubisoft, a few recent Far Cry games were criticized for their story and gameplay choices. Lauded as a return to form, the October 2021 release is one of the best offerings in the franchise for years.</p>\n\n<p>Critics were appreciative of the fact that the developers had done more to add depth to the protagonist. It still features the classic weapon systems and things like liberating outposts, so it will appeal to new and old fans.</p>\n\n<h2>Resident Evil Village</h2>\n\n<p>Resident Evil has been one of the world’s top gaming franchises for nearly 30 years, so it's no surprise to see its latest installment in the list of best PC games for 2021.</p>\n\n<p>The longevity of the series has been in constant evolution, as is how it mixes up its gameplay and story ideas. Resident Evil Village, the latest release from Capcom, is popular thanks to its twist on the standard formula.</p>\n\n<p>The May 2021 release was more action-focused than previous episodes in the franchise and features several new foes for players to fight. It takes place in a cool setting, designed to look like an Eastern European village from Victorian times.</p>\n\n<p>There are various monsters to contend with, but the main baddies are the werewolf-like Lycans. After living up to fans' high expectations for the Resident Evil series, it came as no surprise that this title became one of <a href=\"https://www.thegamer.com/resident-evil-village-2021-best-seller/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">the most popular PC games in 2021</a>.</p>\n\n<h2>Age of Empires IV</h2>\n\n<p>Age of Empires is one of the most popular PC game series of all time, and the latest release has long been anticipated to top best PC games lists in 2021. Age of Empires IV continues with the real-time strategy approach and is set during the Middle Ages this time around.</p>\n\n<p>The gameplay mechanics are based on Age of Empires II, which is one of the best PC games ever made. Stone has been added back as one of the resources after going missing in the last installment, and monks are able to convert units.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/TTaCrP_U4ao\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The scope of Age of Empires IV is bigger than anything that Relic Entertainment and World’s Edge have ever done before. There will be eight different global civilizations available upon the game’s release.</p>\n\n<p>These include the English, the Chinese, the Mongols, and the Holy Roman Empire. The new offering is likely to push the envelope and usher in a new era of the strategy game, with the possibility to develop complex colonies.</p>\n\n<p>Expect this title to be among the top PC games in 2021 (if not the top one) by the end of the year.</p>\n\n<h2>Life is Strange: True Colors</h2>\n\n<p>The Life is Strange series from Deck Nine has been an unprecedented success, and the latest release is one of the best PC games of 2021. The previous offerings were released in an episodic format, with periodic releases.</p>\n\n<p>The newest game published by Square Enix, though, dropped all at once to the delight of players.</p>\n\n<p>Once again, players set off on an open-world adventure around the setting of Haven Springs. The protagonist is Alex Chen, someone who can experience other people’s emotions.</p>\n\n<p>This adds an intriguing element to the various interactions with NPCs that occur throughout the game. This fascinating and unique adventure received positive reviews, and <a href=\"https://www.cgmagonline.com/review/game/life-is-strange-true-colors-pc-review/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">CGM gave it a score</a> of 9.5 out of 10.</p>\n\n<h2>Valheim</h2>\n\n<p>Vikings are a common theme in popular culture now, and Valheim has capitalized on that. The sprawling sandbox survival game from Coffee Stain Publishing was released early for PC gamers, and quickly became one of the best PC games of 2021.</p>\n\n<p>Due to a five-person team at Iron Gate Studio developing this game, players can get a real sense of the love and care that has gone into it.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/ys1G4xjE8Y0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Valheim is an immersive offering in that it gives players the chance to experience what it would have been like to live during Viking times. They must craft their own tools, construct shelters, and fight off enemy clans.</p>\n\n<p>Because the game is procedurally generated, it has almost limitless potential and players can get lost in the sandbox for months. Development is still ongoing, meaning that Valheim is likely to get <em>bigger and better</em>.</p>\n\n<h2>It Takes Two</h2>\n\n<p>For players who enjoy a communal gaming experience, It Takes Two is one of the most popular PC games of 2021. The title from Hazelight Studios and published by Electronic Arts is a multiplayer-only game.</p>\n\n<p>This takes the form of online gameplay, or a classic split-screen display allowing for two players to take part at the same time. Players take control of the two protagonists, Cody and May, a married couple who get sucked into a wild and wacky adventure.</p>\n\n<p>The action-adventure game released in March 2021 is designed to appeal to new and old generations of players. It borrows several elements from classic platform games but combines them with a modern twist.</p>\n\n<p>The gameplay mechanics derive from many classic genres, and change depending on the level you’re playing. For example, the protagonists have diverse abilities such as being able to replicate themselves or reverse time.</p>\n\n<p>Players need to cooperate with their teammates to get the best out of these features and complete the levels. It Takes Two earned high plaudits from critics, who enjoyed its originality and quirky vibe, cementing itself as one of the top PC games in 2021.</p>\n\n<h2>Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy</h2>\n\n<p>Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe offering to get a videogame makeover.</p>\n\n<p>The fun-loving space adventurers have become some of the most beloved characters in the MCU, and the new title from Square Enix captures some of the best parts of the films, including the <a href=\"https://www.slashfilm.com/573671/james-gunns-unused-guardians-of-the-galaxy-songs-playlist/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">infectious soundtrack</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Unlike Marvel’s Avengers, players are not able to take control of all the different characters. The playable protagonist is Peter Quill, otherwise known as Star-Lord. All the other lovable space heroes are there, but they are AI-controlled.</p>\n\n<p>Players can give them orders and use their skills in combat, though, helping to create a rich gameplay experience. This is another title that allows players to enter the sprawling world of the MCU and experience it in a completely new way.</p>\n\n<p>Thanks to the popularity of the film series, this game is likely to go down as one of the best PC games of 2021.</p>\n\n<h2>Chivalry II</h2>\n\n<p>It has been almost ten years since Chivalry: Medieval Warfare launched to receive critical acclaim in 2012. Players have had to wait a while for Torn Banner Studios to come up with its sequel, but Chivalry II was worth the wait.</p>\n\n<p>The hack and slash game will appeal to fans of Game of Thrones and Vikings and gives players a taste of what it would have been like to fight in a medieval battle. It is immersive, especially if you opt to play using the first-person perspective option.</p>\n\n<p>It’s a <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">multiplayer game</a>, meaning that a vast number of players can take part in sprawling battles at the same time.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/r2MdaH4pSro\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Chivalry II has been in the works since 2017, so it should come as no surprise that the finished product is a stunning game.</p>\n\n<p>The breathtaking action enabled it to sell one million copies within the first two months of its release, highlighting how it is one of the most popular games of 2021.</p>\n\n<p>The developers took inspiration from GOT and Lord of The Rings and achieved a cinematic experience that is hard to beat. <a href=\"https://www.ign.com/games/chivalry-2\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">IGN</a> awarded it nine out of ten and praised it for perfectly blending elements of fun and skill.</p>\n\n<p>The title is so realistic that players are even able to use severed limbs as weapons.</p>\n\n<h2>Exciting Games Coming in 2022</h2>\n\n<p>So that was your list of the most popular PC games of 2021. How many of those have you played so far? What do you plan to install next?</p>\n\n<p>It may seem hard to improve upon the top PC games of 2021, but the world’s greatest developers are already doing <em>everything </em>they can to make that happen.</p>\n\n<p>Some of the games to look forward to in 2022 include <strong>Starfield</strong>, <strong>Dying Light 2</strong>, and <strong>Elden Ring</strong>. There are far too many to list, so it’s best to stay in the loop by checking our blog posts here for up to date information and cool news.</p>\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https://plarium.com/en/blog/best-pc-games-2021/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"What Are the 10 Best PC Games of 2021?\",\n  \"image\": \"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_9/14.png\",  \n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"url\": \"https://plarium.com\"\n  },  \n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2021-10-25\"\n}\n</script>","date":"10/24/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_9/14.png"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13492"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/game-emulators/"},"strings":{"title":"Game Emulator 101 - How to Play Mobile Games on PC","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Do you enjoy playing mobile games, but feel the game would be better played on a PC instead? For all their qualities, mobile phones are still a long way behind PCs in some aspects.</p>\n\n<p>Things like screen size, game controls, and keyboards will always be more usable and comfortable on desktop or laptop computers. If so, a game emulator may just enhance your experience.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>That's not to disparage the various mobile platforms, as their portability and range of games (of which, <a href=\"https://www.statista.com/statistics/780229/number-of-available-gaming-apps-in-the-google-play-store-quarter/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">there are 477,877</a> on the Google Play Store) give them an advantage over their technological cousin. Of course, there are ravenous fans on both sides.</p>\n\n<p>For every fiercely loyal mobile or PC fan, there are plenty of other people who would prefer the option to switch between the two at will - even in the same game. This is where the <strong>game emulator</strong> comes in.</p>\n\n<h2>The Game Emulator, Explained</h2>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/blog/cross-platform-games/\">Cross-platform play</a> has been a controversial topic in recent years, as manufacturers like Sony simply weren't interested in providing that kind of functionality to PlayStation owners. Notably, the block-building game Minecraft didn't get crossplay on PlayStation until April 2021.</p>\n\n<p>Mobile is a much more platform-agnostic or \"open\" environment, though, as Google's Android OS allows for the use of game emulator tools on PC. Don't worry if you're expecting a steep learning curve - learning how to play <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile games</a> on PC is easy.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allowtransparency=\"allow=autoplay;\" clipboard-write=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"281\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https://www.facebook.com/minecraft/photos/a.167760186592812/3502192086482922/?type=3&show_text=false&width=500\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" width=\"500\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>A game emulator is a specialized piece of software that enables a game to run on a platform that it was not designed for. It emulates the conditions of the original hardware, allowing the game to run.</p>\n\n<p>For instance, the official compilation <a href=\"https://genesisclassics.sega.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sega Genesis Classics</a> uses a game emulator to get Sonic the Hedgehog or Streets of Rage (among others) working on Microsoft Windows, Linux, macOS, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.</p>\n\n<p>A virtual console is the same thing as a game emulator, as it's a reproduction of hardware in software form.</p>\n\n<h3>Are Game Emulators Available for Android and iOS?</h3>\n\n<p>There are plenty of questions to be answered already, with the most important one concerning the legality of these tools.</p>\n\n<p>The mobile game emulator is a completely legal piece of software to use as it's incapable of doing anything on its own.  Emulators require Android APK files to function. These are basically the same as games and/or apps - but this is where things get a little complicated.</p>\n\n<p>In summary, as long as the app is free on the Play Store, there are no legal concerns. Some emulators can even connect directly to Google's own mobile marketplace.</p>\n\n<p>Note that Apple, with its famous \"walled-garden\" approach to its own hardware and software, does not support the use of game emulator tools at all.</p>\n\n<h2>Find Something to Play On</h2>\n\n<p>First, it's important to note the difference between simulation and emulation (or a simulator vs. a game emulator). When it comes to gaming systems, an emulator is a direct copy of all the functions of a particular platform.</p>\n\n<p>It will fall apart if the emulator doesn't imitate the hardware and its limitations. In contrast, a simulator provides an example or model of that system where the original rules don't always apply.</p>\n\n<p>The original Super Mario Bros. running on PC is game emulation. The original Super Mario Bros. remade for PC is a simulation.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allowtransparency=\"allow=autoplay;\" clipboard-write=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"289\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https://www.facebook.com/TerrariaOfficial/posts/3792198950845977&show_text=false&width=500\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" width=\"500\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>BlueStacks is the game emulator most commonly associated with running mobile games on PC. As mentioned, it connects to the Play Store so that players can download apps as though their laptop or desktop was a phone - whether that's productivity software or <a href=\"/en/games/genre/adventure-games/\">adventure games</a>.</p>\n\n<p>This game emulator has support for cloud-based gaming on around two hundred titles and counts many high-profile companies among its supporters, including Intel, AMD, and chip manufacturer Qualcomm.</p>\n\n<h3>Google's Own Emulator</h3>\n\n<p>Google does offer its own Android emulator but, as it's part of its developer studio, it's a bit obtuse for everyday use. With BlueStacks, knowing how to play <a href=\"/en/games/os/android-games/\">Android games</a> on PC comes down to almost a single click.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, as such an open ecosystem, there are plenty of other examples of the mobile game emulator on Android.</p>\n\n<p>These include NoxPlayer, AndY, and GameLoop, which is the \"official\" software used to emulate the PC versions of Call of Duty and PUBG on mobiles, according to its Chinese publisher.</p>\n\n<h2>Staying Safe Among the APKs</h2>\n\n<p>It's important to note that any given game emulator will have different features that determine its audience. GameLoop only accepts gaming apps but allows the use of APK files that didn't come from the Play Store.</p>\n\n<p>The importance of this trick, known as \"side-loading\" will become clear shortly.</p>\n\n<p>NoxPlayer lets players record their app usage, which makes it useful for YouTubers or educators, as it can load APKs in any genre. It's not just a game emulator.</p>\n\n<p>Finally, AndY includes an option to have a mobile phone serve as a game control device when playing on a PC.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allowtransparency=\"allow=autoplay;\" clipboard-write=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"312\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https://www.facebook.com/StardewValley/photos/a.471547346218877/1346655725374697/?type=3&show_text=false&width=500\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" width=\"500\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>So, what's all that about side-loading?</h2>\n\n<p>One of the great benefits of the mobile game emulator is that long-forgotten and deleted Android apps can often be found preserved in the internet's many APK repositories.</p>\n\n<p>Remember Tap Tap Revenge? Flappy Bird? Dragon Coins? These once-popular games are all now missing from the Play Store but can still be downloaded from unofficial sources.</p>\n\n<p>While it's just another thing that's banned on iOS devices, Android allows sideloading as standard. There are some things to be aware of, however.</p>\n\n<p>One of the major reasons why Google wants its userbase to get its fitness trackers and robot games from the Play Store is security.</p>\n\n<p>The search giant can't do anything to prevent an app from stealing data or installing malware on a phone if it comes from a third-party website.</p>\n\n<h3>Using Trusted Outlets</h3>\n\n<p>It's therefore important to download <strong>only </strong>from trusted and established APK sites. The popular news website Android Police hosts its own app website called APKMirror, which should serve most people interested in a game emulator well.</p>\n\n<p>Overall, learning how to play mobile games on PC shouldn't be a difficult task for most savvy mobile users or PC enthusiasts.</p>\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https://plarium.com/en/blog/game-emulators/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"Game Emulator 101 - How to Play Mobile Games on PC\",\n  \"image\": \"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/the-hottest-trends-in-social-gaming-preview.jpg\",  \n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"url\": \"https://plarium.com\"\n  },  \n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2021-10-25\"\n}\n</script>","date":"10/24/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/the-hottest-trends-in-social-gaming.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13488"}}],"listArticles":[{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/simple-new-raid-champion/"},"strings":{"title":"All Hail the New Raid Champion: s1mple!"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2021/december/prev.jpg"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13578"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/most-anticipated-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Hands Down 12 Most Anticipated Games of 2022"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_49/image-4.jpg"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13573"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/retro-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Reason Retro Games Keep Slaying the Game"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/covers/general/5_b.jpg"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13569"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/best-android-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The 10 Best Android Games in 2021 "},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_14/realtime-turnbased-1.jpg"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13557"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/handheld-game-consoles/"},"strings":{"title":"These are the Top 8 Handheld Game Console Devices of All Time"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/images/31.png"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13551"}}]},"components":{}}},{"name":"widget-blog-social","type":"widget-blog-social","model":{"links":{},"strings":{"title":"Social Media","shareNetworks":"facebook;twitter","shareText":"Follow us:"},"images":{},"template_options":{},"repeaters":{},"components":{}}},{"name":"widget-blog-aside-promoted-game-v3","type":"widget-blog-aside-promoted-game-v3","model":{"links":{"url":"/en/plarium-play/download-user/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27","urlForGamePage":"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/","googlePlayUrl":"https://app.adjust.com/ay7sjpk?campaign=129426&adgroup=GamePage","appStoreUrl":"https://app.adjust.com/k41dm9d?campaign=129425&adgroup=GamePage"},"strings":{"title":"Raid: Shadow Legends","subtitle":"Collect 400+ Champions & Fight For Glory","label":"Download","analyticsGameName":"raid"},"images":{"promoImg":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/plarium-play/games/Raid/promo.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"authGameTheme":"default","isRedirectDownload":"true"},"repeaters":{},"components":{}}},{"name":"widget-blog-subscribe","type":"widget-blog-subscribe","model":{"links":{},"strings":{"title":"Subscribe to the Blog","errorInvalid":"Invalid email address.

and cultivate a loyal audience of fans, choosing the right platform is everything.</p>\n\n<p>Sure, there is YouTube, which is where many of the most famous gamers on the internet got their start, with top streamers such as PewDiePie and Ninja still going strong today.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\"

streaming career where all the action is currently, you need to learn how to stream on <a href=\"https://www.twitch.tv/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Twitch</a>.</p>\n\n<p>This is where the majority of market share and it is where you are most likely to attract a regular audience of engaged viewers, no matter what game you are playing. Read on to find out exactly how to go live on Twitch and launch your gaming career.</p>\n\n<h2>A Brief History of Streaming On Twitch</h2>\n\n<p>Founded in 2007 as Justin.TV before changing its name in 2014, Twitch is a dedicated live-streaming platform that is owned by <a href=\"https://www.vox.com/2014/8/26/6067085/amazon-twitch-tv-video-games-live-streaming-league-of-legends-dota-2\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon</a>, which acquired the platform for $1 billion after an intense and highly-publicized bidding war with Google.</p>\n\n<p>Today, there are more than 9 million active streamers that use the platform, the vast majority of which do so to broadcast video game content. Twitch also has 27 million daily viewers, with a few channels peaking at more than a million live views.</p>\n\n<p>In the realm of video game streaming content, Twitch holds the overwhelming majority of the market share, with close to 70% of all video game live-stream viewing hours taking place on the platform. Trailing behind it is <strong>YouTube </strong>at 22% and <strong>Facebook </strong>at 11%.</p>\n\n<p>This is why knowing how to start a stream on Twitch is so important for any aspiring gaming influencer. By leveraging the reach and tools available on Twitch, you can connect with your target audience and with the global streaming community.</p>\n\n<p>With that in mind, here's why and how to start streaming on Twitch.</p>\n\n<h2>Why stream on Twitch?</h2>\n\n<p>There are many practical reasons to learn how to start a stream on Twitch. One of these is the immense market share enjoyed by the platform, as we have already covered. However, this is not the only reason to learn how to stream on Twitch.</p>\n\n<p>Twitch is the ideal platform for streamers because it is very easy to use and offers a huge range of in-built tools and software that you can use to create perfect streaming content.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Twitch is very easy to use for newbie streams\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_19/rage-5.jpg\" /></p>\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Twitch offers its streaming affiliates straightforward pathways to monetize their content, through ads, donations, and subscriptions.</p>\n\n<p>Crucially, the barriers to entry are much lower on Twitch than on YouTube, meaning that it is easier to begin streaming and making money from your content.</p>\n\n<p>In order to become a Twitch affiliate and start monetizing your content, all you need to do is broadcast more than 500 minutes of content within seven days, with an average of three viewers or more. That's it.</p>\n\n<p>Compare and contrast this to YouTube, where a gaming streamer would need to first attract 1,000 subscribers and rack up more than 4,000 hours of total watch time.</p>\n\n<p>It's also worth mentioning that the terms for monetization are more generous on Twitch since 100% of donations go to streamers and Twitch takes a lower cut of ad revenue than YouTube does.</p>\n\n<p>If you are serious about making game streaming a viable career option, learning how to stream on Twitch is the obvious choice.</p>\n\n<h2>How to Create Your Twitch Account</h2>\n\n<p>Before you can learn how to go live on Twitch on PC or elsewhere, you first need to create your Twitch account, which you can do directly from the Twitch website. First, you must make sure that you are able and eligible to be a Twitch streamer.</p>\n\n<p>For example, one of the most common questions potential streamers have is in regards to how old you have to be to stream on Twitch. The answer, by the way, is 13 years old.</p>\n\n<p>Remember that any user found to be underage when streaming content will immediately be banned from the platform for life.</p>\n\n<p>You must also make sure you are in a country that actually allows you to stream on Twitch.</p>\n\n<p>For example, Slovakia, China, and Russia all have active Twitch bans in place in 2021, so check that you can actually legally stream your video gaming content via the platform first.</p>\n\n<p>Now that we've covered that, let's quickly go through the step-by-step process for creating a Twitch account:</p>\n\n<h3>1. Review the Twitch Community Guidelines</h3>\n\n<p>Thoroughly read through the community guidelines so that you know what kind of streaming content and behavior is acceptable and what rules you are bound to when creating content. Falling afoul of Twitch community guidelines can be exceedingly costly.</p>\n\n<h3>2. Create Your Twitch Account</h3>\n\n<p>All you need to do to create your account is click the \"sign up\" on the Twitch homepage. Enter your email, username, password, and age information. After this, set up your safety and privacy settings and your payment platform of choice. That's it.</p>\n\n<h3>3. Enable Security Settings</h3>\n\n<p>In order to successfully broadcast content on Twitch, you must have your two-factor authentication settings (2FA) enabled. You can only do this on a desktop, so head to your computer if you are attempting to create your account via mobile.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, you will need your phone handy in order to complete the 2FA setup, which involves sending a text code to your number.</p>\n\n<h3>4. Begin the Setup Process</h3>\n\n<p>Now, all that you need to do is customize your dashboard, select your topic areas of interest, add or remove filters, and so on.</p>\n\n<p>Twitch allows you to really create a channel that is truly your own, so make sure to really explore those account customization features.</p>\n\n<h2>Best Software for Streaming On Twitch</h2>\n\n<p>Opening your account is only the first step towards learning how to stream on Twitch. You also need to download the right software for the job, to ensure high-quality streaming content without disruption.</p>\n\n<p>Your first option as a beginner is Twitch's in-house software solution, known as Twitch Studio.</p>\n\n<p>Available for both Windows and Mac, Twitch studio is an all-rounder which offers everything you need to get started, including guided onboarding, webcam detection, starter layouts, chat function, and custom backgrounds. However, this software will only get you so far.</p>\n\n<p>You should consider some other popular streaming software options that can help you elevate your stream and attract larger audiences. These include:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><strong>XSplit</strong>: a popular paid solution that allows for simultaneous broadcasts and game-capturing tools such as slow-mo, reverse, and more.</li>\n\t<li><strong>OBS Studio</strong>: a free, open-source solution that has thousands of features, meaning it can take a while to master. However, it is worth it.</li>\n\t<li><strong>vMix</strong>: strictly for professionals, this is an industry-grade paid solution that allows for live mixing, <em>4K production</em>, and simultaneous streaming across Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>Best Gamer Hardware for Streaming On Twitch</h2>\n\n<p>When getting ready to start streaming on Twitch, you also should consider using the right hardware for the job. Whether you wish to stream <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy games</a> or battle royale shoot-em-ups, the right tech can make <em>all</em> the difference.</p>\n\n<p>Here are the absolute essentials to add to your streamer shopping list:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><strong>GPU</strong>: if you want to know how to stream on Twitch on your PC, a souped-up GPU makes all the difference to the quality of your gaming and how good it looks.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Webcam</strong>: your audience will want to see you while you are playing, so invest in a high-quality HD webcam and some good lighting.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Microphone</strong>: what you have to say is the main thing people tune in for, so make sure they can hear you!</li>\n\t<li><strong>Green Screen</strong>: when you have a green screen, your stream can take on any shape or form that you want.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Streaming Deck</strong>: popular with professional streamers, a deck allows you to easily trigger commands, adjust the lighting and sound, and more with just a flick of your finger.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>How to Stream On Twitch On PC</h2>\n\n<p>For those who want to know how to stream live on Twitch on PC, there are a few pointers to keep in mind:</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>First, make sure all of your hardware is connected to your PC and run a test on every single item to make sure it is working properly before you launch.</li>\n\t<li>Then, make sure all of your streaming software is actually connected to your Twitch account, which you can do by logging into Twitch and going to <em>Account > Settings</em>. If there are any video or audio sources you plan to incorporate into your stream, make sure that all of your assets are ready to go.</li>\n\t<li>Finally, check your Twitch settings to ensure that you have set everything to the optimum bitrate and upload speeds. Don't worry, Twitch will automatically recommend the correct settings for your device.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<h2>How to Stream On Twitch for Consoles</h2>\n\n<p>If you want to stream content <em>directly </em>from your Xbox or Playstation, the process is not too different than with a PC. However, there are some important points to take into account:</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>First, remember to download the Twitch app from the Xbox or PS store. Make sure to <em>connect your console to your Twitch account</em>.</li>\n\t<li>On Playstation, this is achieved by scanning an on-screen QR code when you launch the app. On Xbox, you connect via the 2FA system, so make sure your smartphone is nearby.</li>\n\t<li>Another point; when streaming on your <em>Playstation</em>, it is essential to go to your settings and switch off HDCP, as Twitch will not run if this feature is not disabled. On <em>Xbox</em>, you must go to your settings and head to the Game Content section, where you can enable \"You can broadcast gameplay\" to allow Twitch to function.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<h2>How to Stream On Twitch via Smartphone</h2>\n\n<p>Streaming from your smartphone might probably be the simplest method to do so:</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>All you need to do is download the Twitch app and log-in to your account.</li>\n\t<li>From here, the only thing left to do is tap the \"Go Live\" button at the top of the screen, which will allow you to instantly launch a stream featuring both a camera feed and your mobile gaming feed.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>Now you're good to go! You can stream any of your favorite genres, from <a href=\"/en/games/genre/pvp-games/\">PvP games</a> to match-3. Streaming does not get much easier than this.</p>\n\n<h2>How to Stream On Twitch Like a Pro</h2>\n\n<p>Of course, while the tools for streaming on Twitch are more accessible than ever, it takes more to be a successful content creator. Here are a few pointers for streaming like a Pro and attracting a larger audience:</p>\n\n<h3>Nail down your niche</h3>\n\n<p>This is <em>the </em>most important factor for success. You need a unique value offering that will make viewers choose you over another streamer. Perhaps you want to be a comedy channel for a specific gaming community. Perhaps you want to explore rare mods and skins. Maybe you're an ASMR streaming channel. The choice is yours.</p>\n\n<h3>Play what you love</h3>\n\n<p>We really cannot stress this enough. If you do not play a game that you love, your audience will be able to tell. You need to be genuinely passionate about your choice of game, as this will shine through in your content and make audiences more drawn to you.</p>\n\n<h3>Generate a lot of content</h3>\n\n<p>There is no getting around this. You must generate a large volume of quality content in order to climb Twitch's rankings and get exposure to your target audience. It is especially important to create a lot of content when you are just starting out.</p>\n\n<h2>Start Your Journey Today</h2>\n\n<p>If you are ready to become a successful Twitch streamer, there is no better time to get started than right now. Whether you want to become a millionaire gaming personality or just cultivate a community of like-minded gamers, Twitch has the tools to empower you to do it.</p>\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https://plarium.com/en/blog/how-to-stream-on-twitch/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"How to Stream on Twitch: A Guide for the Curious Gamer\",\n  \"image\": \"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_20/clan-leader-2.jpg\",  \n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"url\": \"https://plarium.com\"\n  },  \n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2021-11-09\"\n}\n</script>","date":"11/9/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_20/clan-leader-2.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13524"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/best-free-pc-games-2021/"},"strings":{"title":"The 7 Best Free PC Games to Play in 2021","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"480000","description":"<p>If there is one thing that gamers love more than anything, it's a freebie. Fortunately, the PC gaming community, with its penchant for indie releases and open-source content, is an absolute gold mine for excellent <a href=\"/en/games/category/free-to-play-games/\">free-to-play (F2P)</a> content.</p>\n\n<p>But what are the best free PC games for 2021? When there are so many great contenders from the freebie sector, it can be hard to narrow it down to a definitive list. Regardless, we've decided to give it a go anyway.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-analytics-id=\"blog.banner.test\" data-analytics-payload=\"{\"position\":\"top\"}\" href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Without further ado, here are the unmissable free <a href=\"/en/games/platform/pc-games/\">PC games</a> 2021 that you need to be playing.</p>\n\n<h2>1. Path of Exile</h2>\n\n<p>Probably the best <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPG</a> out there and definitely a must-play for anyone who is a fan of <a href=\"/en/games/genre/medieval-games/\">medieval games</a> generally. A feature that makes Path of Exile one of the best free PC games in 2021 is that it offers an extraordinary breadth and depth for an F2P game.</p>\n\n<p>Set on the sinister and sprawling open-world universe of Wraeclast, a place full of magic, intrigue, war, and statecraft. The main goal of the game is to build your supernatural skillsets and fighting acumen, to take on a range of sinister enemies.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/bNx68r2TzRY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This is a game with a massive cult following. One that has grown as the game has added a huge number of free updates and expansions, the most recent of which came out in mid-2021.</p>\n\n<p>If you're a fan of the award-winning Diablo series, you'll definitely love this gripping, imaginative, and surprisingly emotive role-playing game. The sequel is due for release in 2022, meaning that now is the best time to experience the original in all its glory.</p>\n\n<h2>2. Call of Duty: Warzone</h2>\n\n<p>Assessing the top free PC games 2021 has seen, we cannot forget to mention the <a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/blog/battle-royale/\">battle royale games</a> that have taken the world by storm in recent years.</p>\n\n<p>While there are so many contenders worthy of inclusion on a list of free PC games in 2021 that are definitely worth playing, it is Call of Duty: Warzone, that stands<em> head and shoulders </em>above the rest for us.</p>\n\n<p>This is a game that takes all the things we love about the CoD series, including innovative weapons systems, stunning maps, and unparalleled stealth mechanics, and gives it to millions of users for free.</p>\n\n<p>The online deathmatch sequences are a thing of beauty, while the team strategy games force you to push your gaming skills to the absolute limits if you want to succeed. That is why Warzone is without a doubt one of the best free PC games 2021.</p>\n\n<h2>3. Planetside 2</h2>\n\n<p>When it comes to pure technological prowess, it honestly does not get much more impressive than the sprawling online multiplayer Planetside 2, which is completely <em>free </em>for all PC gamers worldwide.</p>\n\n<p>The premise alone is one of the most ambitious ever seen in the gaming world. The action takes place on a futuristic planet engaged in a world war. As the player, you take part in that war virtually in the way you want.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/41QFL4QB3NE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Your fellow soldiers and enemy combatants are made up entirely of other real-life players, all engaged in a virtual war to end all wars.</p>\n\n<p>With this massive premise, Planetside 2 managed to take home a <a href=\"https://gamerant.com/planetside-2-guinness-world-record/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Guinness World Record</a> for the most players ever in a single battle - 1,158 people! In 2021, up to 2,000 people can participate in a single battle for territory.</p>\n\n<p>All the while, the graphics, mechanics, and story are as good as anything you would find on a top-tier console game. The fact that all of this is 100% free of charge is <em>astounding</em> and makes this one of the best free PC games for 2021.</p>\n\n<h2>4. The Supper</h2>\n\n<p>Not all of the best free PC games 2021 are massive feats of design and engineering. Some of the standout titles we have seen are so worth playing because of the ways in which they take very simple concepts and turn them into something unforgettable.</p>\n\n<p>This is certainly the case with The Supper, an indie title that definitely ranks among the top free PC games 2021. In the game, you play a weary and vengeful tavern owner who serves some very questionable dishes to a trio of pirates who has wronged you in the past.</p>\n\n<p>This is a tale of intrigue, vengeance, and horror that forces you to make some difficult and darkly humorous moral choices.</p>\n\n<p>The game is brutal and short, with a runtime of around two hours. However, as far as free PC games 2021 go, this is about as good as it gets, especially if you are looking for a gripping storyline.</p>\n\n<h2>5. We Are Broken</h2>\n\n<p>Imagine this: it is a dark and stormy night. You awake in a pitch-black room, to find yourself facing a terrifying vampire. What he wants from you is simple: information on where the rest of the \"human resistance\" is currently hiding.</p>\n\n<p>Over the next few hours, it is your job to resist interrogation and try not to break as the vampire interrogates you and dangles threats, promises, riches, and brutal coercion in front of you in an attempt to make you talk.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/UitO-vOktVg\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This is We Are Broken, and it is without a doubt one of the best free PC games still available in 2021. There are no fancy fighting mechanics or open worlds to explore.</p>\n\n<p>All you do is click on the answer you wish to give your interrogator, pausing to think of the consequences of each answer and trying not to betray your human friends. It's a game that is as immersive as it can get, and it is 100% free to play.</p>\n\n<h2>6. Team Fortress 2</h2>\n\n<p>Some might find this one to be a surprising entry on a list of the best free PC games for 2021 but bear with us. TF2 has been going strong for almost 15 years and anyone who has been playing for that long will tell you that it has aged like fine wine.</p>\n\n<p>This is FPS action at its most chaotic, creative, and carnage-filled. The iconic Western-cum-steampunk themed maps and characters remain, as well as a huge amount of additional content that is pumped out on an almost weekly basis.</p>\n\n<p>Whether it's team deathmatch, capture the flag, or control point that floats your boat, Team Fortress 2 is exactly how these classic games are meant to be played.</p>\n\n<p>Download this free PC game on Steam, sign in at any hour of the day, and you are guaranteed to be dropped into a packed lobby with players from around the world. This is an all-time classic that remains one of the best free PC games of 2021 and beyond.</p>\n\n<h2>7. Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall</h2>\n\n<p>Some of the best free PC games of 2021 are those that have been out for a long time in a different <em>format</em>. This is certainly the case with Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall. This is the second game in the critically-acclaimed Elder Scrolls series, released in 1994 to little fanfare.</p>\n\n<p>Plans to remaster and reupload it as a free game were in the works for many years, with Bethesda keeping it in developer hell for way too long.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/78jEGXWRL-o\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>However, it was finally released in its glory, albeit with shiny new graphics and gameplay, as a gift to the many fans of this iconic series. In Daggerfall, you can experience the best of Elder Scrolls, without paying a <em>single </em>penny.</p>\n\n<p>Explore the stunning and magical open world of Tamriel, navigating tribal intrigue, royal plots, exhilarating rescue quests, and terrifying monsters in full ES glory.</p>\n\n<p>If you are looking for maximum bang for your buck (or lack of bucks), then this is the free PC game that you should be playing.</p>\n\n<h2>Have You Found Your Favorite Game?</h2>\n\n<p>These are the absolute best free PC games of 2021.

You might be wondering how much does a game tester get paid? Or what skills do you need to start a career in testing games?</p>\n\n<p>So, we’re here to let you in on all of the intricacies of this relatively new and novel job. Below, you’ll find answers to all of your questions about how to become a game tester.</p>\n\n<p>If the title caught your eye, but you still don’t quite <em>know </em>what the job entails, don’t worry; we have you covered as well.</p>\n\n<h2>What Is A Video Game Tester?</h2>\n\n<p>When you think about how to become a videogame tester, you likely picture putting in hours of working through games to explore all of the points of interest.</p>\n\n<p>While spread across several different roles, that’s essentially what being a tester for game studios is: performing a form of quality control.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Making a living by testing games\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/26.png\" /></p>\n\n<p>A game tester is given some or all of a game by a development studio and has to check it for errors, from <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPG games</a> to <a href=\"/en/games/genre/war-games/\">war games</a> and everything in between.</p>\n\n<p>This all tends to happen before a product is released, in pre-alpha, alpha, and often through the beta stages of development. Aspects like glitches, bugs, visuals, programming issues, and errors are all tested in this job.</p>\n\n<p>There are several different types of game testers, so first, rather than asking how to become a game tester, you should ask: what kind of game tester do I want to become?</p>\n\n<p>Here are the different tasks within the game testing realm, and some that skew a bit more towards quality assurance:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Black-box</li>\n\t<li>Compatibility Testing: You need to test if the game works as it should on multiple platforms.</li>\n\t<li>Compliance Testing: You need to check that instructions and messages comply with the guidelines of the given platform.</li>\n\t<li>Functionality Testing: You need to find bugs, glitches, defects and check if features are well-integrated. This is the primary deployment of a video game tester.</li>\n\t<li>Focus Group Testing: You’re part of a group that plays the game and discusses its strengths and weaknesses.</li>\n\t<li>General Testing: You need to review the game’s usability and performance, sometimes through closed beta tests or prior to these.</li>\n\t<li>Localization Testing: You need to check the text and audio to ensure that it comes across as intended in your specialized regions, and may need to apply language changes where needed.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>For the most part, unless you live locally to one of the larger game development studios, game testers work from home.</p>\n\n<p>You’ll receive instructions of what needs testing and how, such as a feature or paths on different difficulty levels, and will be expected to complete all of the testing within the allocated time frame.</p>\n\n<h3>What’s The Difference Between A Game Tester And Quality Assurance?</h3>\n\n<p>The role of a game tester has you testing the overall experience of a section in a game and giving feedback. Much of what quality assurance (QA) does can overlap on the side of quality control, but QA examines from the more technical side, exploring code and writing bug reports.</p>\n\n<h2>How To Become A Game Tester: Skills Needed</h2>\n\n<p>Naturally, if you want to know how to become a game tester, you need to know if you have the skills expected of an applicant. Do you need to have so many years of hands-on gaming experience? Or do you need to know the technical intricacies of game development?</p>\n\n<p>The answer to both is: not really.</p>\n\n<p>Very much an entry-level job in the gaming industry, you don’t require any particular skills to become a game tester. That said, if you have any of the following skills and can demonstrate them, you’ll be in a good place:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Strong concentration, attention to detail, and commitment to repetitive tasks.</li>\n\t<li>Understanding what quality control and quality assurance aim to achieve.</li>\n\t<li>Ability to be flexible with working hours but also work in tight timeframes.</li>\n\t<li>Excellent organisational skills, ability to work methodically and explore problems from multiple angles.</li>\n\t<li>Very good writing to relay thoughts and feedback in a clear-cut, understandable report.</li>\n\t<li>An eye for detail, being able to look beyond the gameplay and explore the surrounding content.</li>\n\t<li>Deep knowledge of the modern gaming market, previous video games, existing gaming hardware, and some technical understanding.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>So, if you want to know how to become a game tester, you can start by running simulations on your own games. When you practice this, explore where the game doesn’t lead you and make a note of what you notice.</p>\n\n<p>Also, set yourself time limits to complete missions and test them thoroughly.</p>\n\n<h3>What Do You Need To Become A Game Tester?</h3>\n\n<p>A common question for those who want to explore how to become a videogame tester, the main answer is: a strong work ethic and gaming knowledge. As you learn the ropes, you’ll learn the skills, but a degree or quality control and assurance experience does help.</p>\n\n<h2>How To Become A Game Tester: How To Get A Job</h2>\n\n<p>The best way to get a job as a tester is to look out for job listings online. By searching “game tester” or “test” in the search engines of the sites below, you can see how to become a game tester with a studio:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.indeed.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Indeed.com</a></li>\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.glassdoor.com/index.htm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Glassdoor.com</a></li>\n\t<li><a href=\"https://jobs.gamesindustry.biz/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Jobs.Gamesindustry.biz</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3>How Long Does It Take To Become A Game Tester?</h3>\n\n<p>Timeframe is one of the main questions for people looking into how to become a video game tester.

By testing games in their pre-release form, you’ll learn what goes into a game as well.</p>\n\n<p>If you apply yourself and do plenty of further reading into the technical side of game creation, you’ll also develop tangible skills for the industry.</p>\n\n<p>As such, you’ll shift from learning how to become a game tester to learning how to branch out into other aspects of the video game industry.</p>\n\n<p>At the base level, you’ll get to play lots of games, get paid to do so, and mostly work your own flexible hours. That said, if you want to get to grips with the role and truly learn how to be a game tester of high quality, you will need to embrace the technical side early.</p>\n\n<p>As you test more, you’ll make more contacts within the industry.</p>\n\n<p>You need to be committed, pick up the system of quality control and assurance quickly, and provide good communications and reports.</p>\n\n<p>If you do and continue to develop your knowledge and skills, your aim of how to become a game tester may be your first stepping stone into the gaming industry.</p>\n\n<h3>How Much Do Game Testers Get Paid?</h3>\n\n<p>Now that you know what’s required of the role, you’re probably wondering if the money is worth you learning how to become a game tester.</p>\n\n<p>As a new tester, you can look at between $8 and $14 per hour for the most part, but sometimes higher based on local minimum wage laws.</p>\n\n<p>As you become a game tester of a high standard, you could then look at fixed wage jobs. If you accumulate three years of experience or more, you can aim for jobs offering $38,000 per year, likely with a more advanced, in-studio role.</p>\n\n<h3>How Old Do I Have To Be To Be A Game Tester?</h3>\n\n<p>The vast majority of companies that are looking for video game testers are looking for adults. So, 18-years-old tends to be the minimum age of a game tester.</p>\n\n<p>However, now that you know how to become a game tester, even if you’re looking for jobs a bit early, you can refine your skills with practice and research at home.</p>\n\n<h2>Time to Get Going</h2>\n\n<p>Now that you know everything that there is on how to become a game tester, the only thing left for us to do is wish you luck in your job search!</p>\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https://plarium.com/en/blog/become-a-game-tester/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"How to Become a Game Tester\",\n  \"image\": \"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_19/browser-game-header.jpg\",  \n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"url\": \"https://plarium.com\"\n  },  \n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2021-11-07\"\n}\n</script>","date":"11/7/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_19/browser-game-header.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13518"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/fan-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Rocky Relationship Between Fan Games & Developers, Explained","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Wish that your favorite games did that little bit more? Want to play classics that have been updated for modern tech? Maybe you should explore what fangames have on offer.</p>\n\n<p>As gamers, we all know that the standard way to play is to buy or download a game for free from an established publisher. The publishers and developers make sure that you get the product that they intend to deliver.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>These are the game creators who get all of the credit, and yet, the humble fan game has always had a place in the community.</p>\n\n<p>Whether they play with an existing game or build on a new idea entirely for an existing series, a fan game can tap into exactly what their fellow gamers want to see.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/BYQmp1ZM0jM\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>At the end of the day, games are here for you to enjoy, so if they come in the form of a fan game rather than an officially licensed property, should it matter?</p>\n\n<p>Well, as you can see below, a major arguing point in gaming has and remains to be the presence of fangames. So here, we’re delving into this unsung corner of gaming, looking at when fan games have found a home and where others are shunned.</p>\n\n<h2>What Is a Fan Game?</h2>\n\n<p>A fan game is a video game that’s made by people who aren’t attached to a development studio or publishing company. Usually, they are fans of the original game.</p>\n\n<p>You’ll often find a fangame to be like an existing game, either as a remake, a modification, or a clone. Some see fan games as a form of user-created content, while others question their validity and strike them down as copyright infringements.</p>\n\n<p>The internet is loaded with fan game creations, with their origins tracing back to the mid-90s. Some fan games have gone on to become their own official standalone titles.</p>\n\n<p>Others have reached huge player bases and fan acclaim, only for major companies to remove them.</p>\n\n<h2>Some Fan Games Are Mods, Some Fan Games Are Standalone Creations</h2>\n\n<p>One of the more common ways for a fan game to be made is through the piggybacking method of building a mod.</p>\n\n<p>Several official game developers grant access to their source code, enable modifications, and make development or editing tools available to the community. This has spawned some of the biggest <a href=\"/en/games/genre/pvp-games/\">PVP games.</a></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/z1lftysPVos\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This method of creating a fan game is better received by gaming companies. As you can imagine, developers that offer the tools to adapt their creations are happier to see fangames than those who don’t.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, there are usually rules, with the created content needing to expand rather than change the core title.</p>\n\n<h3>Enter the Standalone</h3>\n\n<p>On the flip side, you have the standalone fangame. Within several of the game-making sandbox games, fans will try to recreate their other favorite titles.</p>\n\n<p>Equally, they can turn to the readily available game engines, such as Unity, Game Maker, Crystal Space, or Headcannon. The free platforms and engines tend to be the choice.</p>\n\n<p>With fewer restrictions or a separate platform to build a game, many standalone fan games heavily draw from the mechanics and aesthetics of existing titles. This isn’t always to just make some quick cash, though.</p>\n\n<p>Most seek to improve or add a different spin to fan-favorite games of the past – particularly long-lost retro games.</p>\n\n<h2>What Is the Best Fan Game?</h2>\n\n<p>The best fan game choice depends on your preference. Whether you prefer novel <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy games</a> or remakes of classics, your choice of fangame will differ.</p>\n\n<p>However, the consensus in gaming would point to a major battle royale title or the two eSports games that have awarded the most money.</p>\n\n<h2>Those Who Oppose Fan Games</h2>\n\n<p>If you want the prime example of a company that hates fangames, look no further than the friendly Japanese giant Nintendo. Nintendo IPs have been a favorite of fan game creators over the decades, but they notoriously shut down such efforts.</p>\n\n<p>In 2021 alone, Nintendo issued a DMCA notice against 3791 fan game creations on the platform Game Jolt. Others ousted by the company include:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>A new monster-catching game in their series built on original assets.</li>\n\t<li>A high-definition creation of a classic N64 title in 2015.</li>\n\t<li>A game maker that allowed fans to make their own maps for Hyrule.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Nintendo isn’t the only company that hunts down any fan game that rises to prominence. The likes of Activision, Vivendi Universal, Sega, Konami, and Take-Two Interactive have also put an end to at least one fan game.</p>\n\n<h2>Why Does Nintendo Hate Fan Games?</h2>\n\n<p>Nintendo is incredibly protective of its IPs because it wants to uphold the brand identity of producing high-quality products.</p>\n\n<p>So, when a fan game is released that infringes the copyrights and trademarks to its IP, they see any potential issues as reflecting badly on the original products.</p>\n\n<h2>Are Fan Games Bad?</h2>\n\n<p>Many fan game creations don’t work well or are blatant copyright infringements. However, for the most part, a fan game is made from passion, inspiration, and a desire to improve a much-loved product.</p>\n\n<p>So, fangames aren’t inherently bad – you just need to find ones that play fair.</p>\n\n<h2>Some Fan Games Are Getting Major Publisher Backing</h2>\n\n<p>Nintendo certainly takes the hardest stance against each fan game that it encounters to be drawing from its properties. On the flip side, you’ll find many other major publishers either allowing fan games to exist or fully endorsing them and giving their backing.</p>\n\n<p>Valve has become somewhat of a fan game darling, not only allowing for many fan game creations to exist on the Steam platform but even giving financial backing in some instances.</p>\n\n<p>Some of the biggest online and competitive titles today only exist because Valve has backed the original fan game.</p>\n\n<h3>Fan Game-Friendly Developers</h3>\n\n<p>Along with Valve, Capcom is fan game-friendly on occasion. Bethesda Softworks have inspired many fan game creations within their expansive open-worlds, even releasing editions of games with fan-made mods.</p>\n\n<p>Although you will also see Activision ending some fan game projects, they have also backed fan development teams.</p>\n\n<p>It’s impossible to imagine a world of gaming without an abundance of fan game creations. While they’re fleeting, you can find many fangames to try, and some that simply started as a fan game.</p>\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https://plarium.com/en/blog/fan-games/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"The Rocky Relationship Between Fan Games & Developers, Explained\",\n  \"image\": \"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week49/raid-game-team.jpg\",  \n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"url\": \"https://plarium.com\"\n  },  \n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2021-11-07\"\n}\n</script>","date":"11/7/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week49/raid-game-team.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13514"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/console-generations/"},"strings":{"title":"What Are the 9 Console Generations?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Looking at the reality-bending, immersive gaming experiences on offer today, it can be easy to forget the humble origins of video gaming. We have come a long way over the years, with new console generations refining gaming every decade or so.</p>\n\n<p>Each new console generation represents not only a leap forward in technology but also a cultural progression.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>The games we associate with console generations, and the features that we treasure the most, speak to the times they were released, as well as the development of video game culture from the 1970s up to the present era.</p>\n\n<p>If you're excited about next-gen consoles and want to learn more about the legacy from which they sprang, read our essential history of console generations.</p>\n\n<h2>1st generation consoles</h2>\n\n<p>The dawn of the video gaming era arguably began in 1972, with the release of Baer's Magnavox Odyssey.</p>\n\n<p>The game was incapable of providing color, sound, or just about anything other than 3 movable dots on the screen, controlled by clunky dials plugged into your television set.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Dj66VO1J9gQ\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>What's more, Baer had to release a \"screen upgrade\" not long after, which consisted of a piece of cling film you wrapped around your TV so that you could actually view your game of virtual tennis.</p>\n\n<h2>2nd generation consoles</h2>\n\n<p>Beginning around 1976, the second generation of consoles was defined by iconic machines like the Fairchild Channel F, the Atari 2600, and the Bally Astrocade.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/5M1zO2v9ixY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>These were the first games that were made available via separate cartridges, rather than being fused to limited circuit boards. In addition, those old-school dials finally gave way to actual joystick controllers, giving us video gaming as we broadly recognize it to this day.</p>\n\n<h2>3rd generation consoles</h2>\n\n<p>Beginning in 1983, the so-called \"eight-bit\" of the console generations ushered in the NES, the Atari 7800, and the Commodore 64, arguably the first full \"modern\" gaming consoles that many gaming fans still cherish dearly to this day.</p>\n\n<p>This era saw the golden age of <a href=\"https://www.forbes.com/companies/nintendo/?sh=14d6922e1898\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Nintendo</a>, the Japanese video game empire that would take over the world by launching iconic franchises such as Zelda, Mario Bros., and Metroid. With these games, the \"button-masher\" genre was officially born.</p>\n\n<h2>4th generation consoles</h2>\n\n<p>The fourth generation kicked up the color and the graphics a few notches, with 16-bit taking over the industry by 1987.</p>\n\n<p>This time period saw the release of the Sega Genesis and the Super NES, with most of the games focusing on reproducing the arcade \"runner\" and shooter experience at home.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/PRVr1heimY8\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Perhaps most significantly, 4th gen saw video games become a truly mass-market product for the first time, with the Sega Genesis shifting more than 30 million units worldwide by 1990, spurred on by smash-hit games such as Sonic the Hedgehog and Mortal Kombat.</p>\n\n<h2>5th generation consoles</h2>\n\n<p>Of all the console generations, the 5th gen was the one that brought the genre of <a href=\"/en/games/genre/adventure-games/\">adventure games</a> to our screens for the first time.</p>\n\n<p>Thanks to the advent of full 3D graphics and CD ROM software that allowed for longer games and save files, the world was able to play true story-based content such as Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, and Resident Evil.</p>\n\n<p>This was an era that ran from around 1993 and was undoubtedly defined fully by the Playstation, as well as the N64 to a lesser extent.</p>\n\n<h2>6th generation consoles</h2>\n\n<p>While the fifth generation was the 32-bit generation, the following sixth generation blew us all away with 128-bit gaming, an innovation that made games cheaper, more accessible, and saw individual games sell tens of millions of units for the first time ever.</p>\n\n<p>This is the 1998-2005 generation, the one that gave us the first Xbox, the Dreamcast, the PS2, and the GameCube.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/hn3me6w_dE8\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This was undoubtedly the generation that dislodged Nintendo and Sega from the peak position, with Sony and Microsoft tipping the scales in their favor with game-changing titles such as Morrowind, Prince of Persia, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.</p>\n\n<h2>7th generation consoles</h2>\n\n<p>7th generation consoles were undoubtedly the shortest-lived of all of the generations but were nonetheless ones that introduced novel ideas about what gaming could be, some of which are still with us today.</p>\n\n<p>The most notable moment in the 7th generation consoles period was Nintendo's comeback with the release of the Wii and the DS handheld console, which Microsoft and PlayStation were keen to copy with their own versions of motion capture technology.</p>\n\n<p>Wii Sports remains one of the most iconic and widely played games of all time, even if the once-promising form of gameplay it represented has died a death since then.</p>\n\n<h2>8th generation consoles</h2>\n\n<p>This is the generation that defined gaming innovation. 8th gen, which began in around 2012 and brought us the Xbox One and PS4 was the first era of the blockbuster game.</p>\n\n<p>It gave us games that cost more to develop than even the most ambitious Hollywood productions, while some, such as GTA V, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, made studios more money than was previously thought possible in this industry.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/lFianZtymkI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>It was the generation that brought video gaming and video gaming culture absolutely everywhere, and one that changed the media landscape forever.</p>\n\n<h2>9th generation consoles</h2>\n\n<p>9th generation consoles are just now having their impact felt. Currently, the PS5 and the Xbox Series S are the only contenders in this space, but the implications are plain to see.</p>\n\n<p>The graphics, computing power, and memory far outstrip anything we have seen before, promising hyperreal gaming that was previously out of reach. What's more, these next-gen consoles will come of age at a unique era in cross-platform gaming.</p>\n\n<p>Meanwhile, AI, VR, AR, and blockchain will all likely shape the development of this exciting new generation of games, while also influencing trends in <a href=\"/en/games/platform/browser-games/\">browser games</a>.</p>\n\n<h2>Next Gen Consoles</h2>\n\n<p>This completes our run-down of the history of console generations. What will the future bring? Will it be AI updates of AR and VR? Will it be something completely new and different, maybe something we haven't even been able to fathom?</p>\n\n<p>And the most important question of all - when will we be able to <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smell-O-Vision#Legacy\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">smell games</a>? </p>\n\n<p>For the time being, we will just have to be patient. Or maybe one of you reading this post will be responsible for the next stage in gaming? We can't <em>wait </em>to see how this turns out!</p>\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https://plarium.com/en/blog/console-generations/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"What Are the 9 Console Generations?\",\n  \"image\": \"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/images/29.png\",  \n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"url\": \"https://plarium.com\"\n  },  \n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2021-11-02\"\n}\n</script>","date":"11/2/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/images/29.png"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13510"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/4x-games/"},"strings":{"title":"Everything You Need to Know About 4X Games","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>For gamers of all stripes, real-time strategy games that allow you to build and conquer your own virtual world have held a strong cultural sway for decades now.</p>\n\n<p>If you are even remotely familiar with the world of real-time strategy (RTS) games, you have probably come across the term \"4X games\" before. But what are 4X games, and what is a 4X <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy game</a> actually meant to consist of?</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<h2>What Does 4X Mean in Games?</h2>\n\n<p>To put it in simple terms, let's break down that \"4X\". Coined during the earliest days of the genre back in the 1980s, the four X's in 4X games stand for:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><strong>Explore:</strong> a core feature involves sending your scouts across the map to uncover and unlock new territories.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Expand:</strong> you can build your in-game empire by claiming new territories for yourself and building settlements on them.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Exploit:</strong> you can use the resources in your world to expand your settlements and increase your power.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Exterminate:</strong> you can attack and kill rival players and in-game enemies as you grow your empire.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>What Is a 4X Game?</h2>\n\n<p>In a nutshell, the best 4X games, no matter what time or space they are set, involve cunning, diplomacy, alliance-building, and a fair share of trickery in order to succeed. Now that you know what a 4X game is, it's time to choose the best ones around.</p>\n\n<p>Remember that the game in question technically <em>must </em>have all four features in order to qualify. When assessing the top 4X games in history, the <em>Civilization </em>series is the most oft-cited example, given that it so perfectly blends these elements to create a shining example of the genre.</p>\n\n<h2>What Is 4X Game Content?</h2>\n\n<p>A true 4X game is always characterized by a rich, gripping, and linear storyline that players must traverse as they conquer worlds.</p>\n\n<p>There is also invariably a turn-based format in all of the top 4X games, which forces all players to think very carefully before each move as if playing a game of chess.</p>\n\n<h2>Civilization VI</h2>\n\n<p>You cannot have any roundup of the best 4X games without mentioning this bad boy. As well as being one of the best <a href=\"/en/games/genre/action-games/\">action games</a> around, Civilization VI is the 4X game par excellence, one that any newcomer to the genre will love.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/5KdE0p2joJw\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This is the game that takes everything we know and love about the Civ series and cranks it up to 11, allowing you to build a world empire that spans millennia and incorporates a staggering number of historical and cultural references.</p>\n\n<p>This is 4X gaming as it is meant to be played.</p>\n\n<h2>Galactic Civilizations III</h2>\n\n<p>Definitely one of the top space 4X games out there, <em>Galactic Civilizations III</em> is the one that pushes the boundaries of what is possible to the absolute limit. All of the action takes place within a 100% randomly generated galaxy that is yours to dominate.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Zs_qG1vPY_s\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Using a dizzying array of features, you can set the political agenda for your galactic government and expand accordingly, choosing your foreign policy, investment priorities, fiscal stance, military strategy, and more, all within the infinite reaches of deep space.</p>\n\n<h2>Europa Universalis IV</h2>\n\n<p>This is one of those 4X games that takes realism to a whole other level. As with the previous games in the series, EUIV takes place in a fictional Europe, comprised of several nations.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/zA-n6DXuG8M\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This game, which spans the Middle Ages to the Industrial Revolution, allows you to use realpolitik and diplomacy to get the upper hand over your European neighbors and conquer the continent.</p>\n\n<p>If you're interested in 4X games that have something to say and can teach you a lot about real-world history and politics, this is the one for you.</p>\n\n<h2>Stellaris</h2>\n\n<p>Another one of those unmissable 4X space games, <em>Stellaris </em>takes the hyper-realism and gritty politics of Europa and combines it with the stunning intergalactic setting of Galactic.</p>\n\n<p>It is quite possibly the largest in-game 4X environment in the world to date, with new updates and patches being constantly added by an eagerly engaged community of players.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Unl15Vl0btI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>While the goal is to stake out your corner of the galaxy and build a home on a planet of your choosing, the real beauty of Stellaris lies in the game's ability to automatically evolve and grow, meaning that nothing is predictable with this AI.</p>\n\n<p>Meanwhile, if you're on the lookout for the best <a href=\"/en/games/category/new-games/\">new games</a>, then this is one to keep in mind since free expansions and mods are added almost weekly.</p>\n\n<h2>Is There Also a 5X Game?</h2>\n\n<p>5X is an unsettled term that some gamers use to describe certain 4X-style games with an extra component. This could be <strong>EXpedience</strong>, which describes a 4X game with a special emphasis on diplomacy, or <strong>EXcavate</strong>, which describes a 4X game with a stronger focus on resource extraction.</p>\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https://plarium.com/en/blog/4x-games/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"Everything You Need to Know About 4X Games\",\n  \"image\": \"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/11/17.jpg\",  \n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"url\": \"https://plarium.com\"\n  },  \n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2021-10-31\"\n}\n</script>","date":"10/31/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2016/11/17.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13502"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/game-randomizer/"},"strings":{"title":"Game Randomizers 101","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Here, we will concentrate on <em><strong>game randomizer mods</strong></em> and those that <em><strong>select a game at random</strong></em> for you. What alterations do they make to the way you play and the enjoyment you will get?</p>\n\n<h2>Why Are Game Randomizers Used?</h2>\n\n<p>Game randomizers help make any gaming experience more <em>open </em>and <em>unique</em>, from <a href=\"/en/games/genre/adventure-games/\">adventure games</a> to <a href=\"/en/games/genre/robot-games/\">robot games</a> and everything in between.</p>\n\n<p>Rather than following a linear path through the map, you are encouraged to explore different parts of the game and do things that the original never included.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>They can make completing the game more challenging, even when it is a game that you <em>have completed </em>before.</p>\n\n<p>You need to think on your feet if the best weapons you need have been placed elsewhere or if enemies appear from out of nowhere when you least expect them.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Survival Games as PVP\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/25.png\" /></p>\n\n<p>You can enjoy a favorite game for longer in this way too, as it may feel like a completely new version.</p>\n\n<p>There is no denying the pleasure of seeing a game that you are familiar with but that is now presented in a very different way. It might even give you a reason to start playing a game you hadn’t played in years.</p>\n\n<h2>Type 1 - A Look at Game Randomizer Mods</h2>\n\n<p>The first thing to look at on any game randomizer list is how it gives you a way of making a certain game <em>completely </em>different. These are mods that change the way the game is played, turning it into something new even for experienced players.</p>\n\n<p>This sort of game randomizer only works on the chosen title. It could mean that the enemies are placed in different locations, or it could change the places where you will find valuable items like weapons and food.</p>\n\n<p>You could discover different skills and powers, add new locations, or the layout of the map might be completely different. Maybe a familiar room will lead you somewhere totally different now.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Surviving survival games\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_7/17_working_together.png\" /></p>\n\n<p>You can choose from lots of different game randomizer mods available for the most popular video games. This means that you may find a number of ways of altering your favorite game to give it a completely new look and feel.</p>\n\n<p>Some of these changes may make the game easier, while others turn it into something insanely difficult even if you consider yourself an expert at the basic game.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/HjBlGdMUJuw\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>You might see that a few things have been changed, or it might be that just about everything has been altered from the game you know and love.</p>\n\n<p>If you enjoy a popular game, there is a very good chance that you can find a game randomizer to freshen it up. Try a few of the options and see which ones suit you best.</p>\n\n<h2>Type 2 - Game Randomizers That Choose Random Games for You</h2>\n\n<p>The next way of shuffling up your gaming experience involves a different sort of game randomizer. In this case, you enter the randomizing site and are directed towards a game that has been chosen in a completely arbitrary way such as by spinning a wheel.</p>\n\n<p>This is a good choice if you aren’t sure what title you want to play right now. Maybe you have a lot of games you love and can’t decide which one to play. Or perhaps you are new to the gaming world and want to find out about a few of the titles you might like to try.</p>\n\n<p>It is unlikely that you are smitten by every version that you discover in this way. However, there is also a very good chance that you find some great new ways of playing by letting a randomizer do its work on your behalf.</p>\n\n<h2>Who Can Use a Randomizer?</h2>\n\n<p>Anyone can carry out the simple process of finding and adding a game randomizer. All you need to do is search for a game randomizer list on the game you are interested in.</p>\n\n<p>You will probably get more out of these mods if you have played the game a lot and understand it fully. In this way, you will appreciate the changes and how they alter the gameplay.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"MMOs favors extended periods of play, while FPSs tend to last less than half an hour\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/20.png\" /></p>\n\n<p>Having said that, there is nothing to stop you from trying the random approach on a title you have recently started playing. You may find that you enjoy the shuffled experience more than the original.</p>\n\n<p>Game randomization is popular among speedrunners, as it forces them to adapt to different circumstances and find the best way of planning a new route and meeting the fresh challenges in front of them.</p>\n\n<p>But anyone who enjoys playing games can add a game randomizer to shuffle things around.</p>\n\n<h2>How to Find the Right Game Randomizer</h2>\n\n<p>You can easily search for new ideas by looking at titles on Twitch and YouTube videos. A lot of the time, you will see them labeled as randomized versions of the game and will tell you which game randomizer was used to produce the version you are watching.</p>\n\n<p>With other videos, you may just notice that things don’t look quite right. There may be subtle differences from the game you know, or you might see something that almost looks like a completely different title.</p>\n\n<p>If you see a randomized version but don’t know what tool has been used to achieve the changes, don’t despair. You can now search for different randomizers on that game by looking for a game randomizer list that includes it, and see which one appears to have been used.</p>\n\n<p>It is worth trying a few of these shuffled versions of your favorite games, as they each add something different to the overall experience. You should find something that appeals to you through a process of trial and error and by seeing what other players have to say in their reviews.</p>\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https://plarium.com/en/blog/game-randomizer/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"Game Randomizers 101\",\n  \"image\": \"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/20.png\",  \n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"url\": \"https://plarium.com\"\n  },  \n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2021-10-31\"\n}\n</script>","date":"10/31/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/june/illustrations/20.png"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13506"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/halloween-horror-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The 5 Best Horror Games to Celebrate Halloween","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"480000","description":"<p>We’re a matter of hours away from the scariest day of the year, so what better time to pay homage to some of the best horror games on PC and console?</p>\n\n<p>If you’re looking for new video games for Halloween, we’ve got a winning quintet of the scariest horror games that will require ice in your veins to survive and thrive in the darkness of October 31.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>The five horror games we’ve hand-picked are chosen based on their dark themes and concepts, with a healthy dose of zombification, horror fiction and downright terror that’s guaranteed to get your juices flowing for your video game Halloween fix.</p>\n\n<h2>1. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard</h2>\n\n<p>In terms of the very best horror games, PC or otherwise, it’s hard to look beyond Resident Evil 7 for its raw intensity and the way it stays true to the Resident Evil franchise.</p>\n\n<p>Returning to its survival horror roots, Resident Evil 7 enables players to solve puzzles and explore atmospheric open worlds in true first-person perspective.</p>\n\n<p>Fans of virtual reality (VR) gaming will want this at the top of their list of Halloween video games, providing you have a compatible PlayStation VR headset.</p>\n\n<p>Capcom has developed an in-house RE Engine which combines a host of VR-related features to bring a new audio-visual experience and allow you to explore everything in gory detail.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/W1OUs3HwIuo\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Resident Evil 7: Biohazard has shifted over ten million copies as of October 2021. In the months and years after its release, it became one of the most successful horror games in terms of industry nominations and awards.</p>\n\n<p>It was named Best VR Game at the 2017 Golden Joystick Awards and 2017’s The Game Awards, as well as the 2018 SXSW Gaming Awards.</p>\n\n<p>In 2018, the game also received multiple accolades at the National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers Awards spanning its sound effects, sound mixing in VR and VR-based control design.</p>\n\n<p>The addition of the immersive VR has attracted many new gamers to the Resident Evil franchise.</p>\n\n<p>In many ways, this is a game that feels like VR was made for, with plenty of frighteningly frantic experiences lurking around every corner, making it comfortably one of the scariest horror games in VR today.</p>\n\n<h2>2. SOMA</h2>\n\n<p>SOMA ranks highly as one of the scariest horror games, even if there are certain aspects of its game dynamics that are confusing.</p>\n\n<p>However, despite the lack of a realistic and consistent stealth section, this is still one of the most engaging horror video games that draws comparisons with games like Bioshock due to its fusion of biotech and underwater game environments.</p>\n\n<p>Rifling through the decrepit, underwater wreck of PATHOS-II, you’ll encounter some serious problems.</p>\n\n<p>This gaming world contains glitching humans aplenty, with a disgusting array of slimy creatures and growths to negotiate.</p>\n\n<p>In this single-player game, you’ll take control of protagonist Simon Jarrett, who attempts to uncover the mystery of this subsea research facility that’s gone all too wrong.</p>\n\n<p>One of few horror games to be available on Linux, Windows, OS X and the PS4 and Xbox One, Frictional Games has enjoyed widespread critical acclaim for SOMA.</p>\n\n<p>Many critics dared gamers to give SOMA a try – even those that held a previous dislike for non-combat horror games.</p>\n\n<p>SOMA took the survival horror genre to new heights, with clever, atmospheric audio and a powerful storyline helping to deliver one of the most spooky games that’s well-paced throughout. In 2018, <a href=\"https://www.gamesradar.com/best-horror-games/2/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">GamesRadar</a> ranked SOMA eighth in their top 20 horror games of all time.</p>\n\n<h2>3. The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners</h2>\n\n<p>Released in January 2020, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners is Skydance Interactive’s immersive iteration of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead comic book series.</p>\n\n<p>It was originally launched on VR via Oculus and Steam but was later unveiled on PlayStation VR and Oculus Quest. Every fibre of this game’s existence is designed to create a feeling of loneliness, amid a zombie apocalypse.</p>\n\n<p>The VR elements of this game are also physically and mentally draining, which help to create that feeling of desperation when face-to-face with oncoming zombies.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/PwQx872oy4A\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Using the larger weaponry to kill zombies in the house and on the surrounding streets requires the use of both hands. As the protagonist, you’ll be given missions from isolated contacts or contacts elsewhere in the world via radio.</p>\n\n<p>With extremely limited resources compared with other horror games, you’ll battle hard for every scrap you can get your paws on.</p>\n\n<p>The power of VR gaming is characterised in this game. Deep down you know that you are spending hours on your own, lurking around in buildings and areas you shouldn’t be, but seeing a cluster of zombies bearing down on you is enough for your brain to flip its lid.</p>\n\n<p>The biggest criticism is that this game is considered <em>too realistic</em> by some gamers, with success seemingly impossible on occasion.</p>\n\n<h2>4. Silent Hill 2</h2>\n\n<p>Fans of retro video games for Halloween should check out Konami’s second iteration of the Silent Hill series. Silent Hill 2 has an engaging storyline to rival the best horror themed <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO games</a> like The Secret World.</p>\n\n<p>It focuses on protagonist James Sunderland, a man who receives a ‘letter’ from his deceased wife stating that she’s at Silent Hill waiting to be found. It was first released on PlayStation 2 in 2001 before being ported across to Windows (PC) a year later.</p>\n\n<p>The sequel to Silent Hill had been in the making for two years, with its plotline heavily influenced by a popular novel by <a href=\"https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/3137322.Fyodor_Dostoevsky\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Russian author Dostoevsky</a>, titled Crime and Punishment.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/4LCl2_DK6QU\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>In terms of its artistic influences, Silent Hill 2 also takes its horror games inspiration from the likes of iconic film directors namely <a href=\"https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000033/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Hitchcock</a>, and <a href=\"https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000343/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Cronenberg</a>. The beauty of Silent Hill 2 is that the enemies are by no means eviler than in the original release.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, Pyramid Head and the nurses are scary enough, but James Sunderland’s own personal demons are more fearsome than any other enemy as the town of Silent Hill brings them to bear.</p>\n\n<p>Once James reaches Silent Hill, all he encounters are memories and sorrow related to the death of his wife. Every inch of this god forsaken town is crawling with horrors, with James having to dig deep to look beyond his personal anguish to discover what’s really at play here.</p>\n\n<p>Unfortunately for James – and you – the deeper you dig, the darker and creepier it gets.</p>\n\n<p>Konami’s atmospheric soundtrack for Silent Hill 2 was so popular that it eventually released its eight-track composition for purchase by gamers – proof if it were needed how important audio and sound effects are in developing the best horror games.</p>\n\n<h2>5. Amnesia: Rebirth</h2>\n\n<p>Swedish gaming developer Frictional Games published the third instalment of the Amnesia survival horror games franchise in October 2020. If you’re after horror multiplayer games, this one is unlikely to be for you, given that it’s exclusively a single-player title.</p>\n\n<p>Its release coincides with the ten-year anniversary of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, with the first-person Rebirth assuming control of protagonist Tasi Trianon. A girl who is desperately seeking to find her friends amid dimly lit caves and ancient tombs.</p>\n\n<p>As you meander through the caves and tombs, you’ll notice the fear level of Tasi steadily rise.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/wqozgX92qBM\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The key is to avoid her hallucinations - when she begins to see things and hear voices in her head. It’s your job to control her fear by evading monsters, cracking codes and sourcing sufficient light to navigate each environment.</p>\n\n<p>Unlike some scary horror games, Amnesia: Rebirth does not contain a combat system. Consequently, as Tasi you can only run or hide from your enemies.</p>\n\n<p>According to Frictional Games’ co-founder, Thomas Grip, the concept of Amnesia: Rebirth was “survival”.</p>\n\n<p>Rather than short, sharp scares, the game’s creators sought to develop an overarching claustrophobic narrative of loneliness akin to that of The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners. Although this wouldn’t be classified under the <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPG games</a> category, there’s enough character development to consider it a <em>horror-themed</em> RPG.</p>\n\n<h2>Get into the spirit of the spooky season with us!</h2>\n\n<p>Don’t forget, with the shorter days and longer nights, you’ve got all the time in the world to design a killer Halloween costume in honor of our most <a href=\"/en/games/category/popular-games/\">popular games</a>.

Just when you think developers have come up with the greatest game imaginable, another offering drops and blows it out of the water.</p>\n\n<p>The best PC games of 2021 have pushed the envelope further than ever, with revolutionary game mechanics, stories, and graphics.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>Below is our <em>definitive </em>list of the best PC games of 2021. From first-person shooters to open-world epics, we’ve got it covered. And if you haven’t played all these, you’d better load them up and get gaming.</p>\n\n<p>There were a few games that didn’t make the cut, but we think you’ll agree that all the titles listed deserve to be here.</p>\n\n<h2>Elyon</h2>\n\n<p>For anyone in search of new <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmo-games/\">MMO games</a>, South Korea has become one of their most prolific producers. One of the best PC games for 2021 is Elyon from Krafton. Originally <strong>Ascent: Infinite Realm</strong>, this title wasn’t well-received, so the developer decided to improve it.</p>\n\n<p>It is a fantasy offering with steampunk elements and involves fighting between two warring realms. The opposing factions in question are Vulpin and Ontari, and players need to choose their side at the start of the game.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/sovjPAZZHn0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The title uses <a href=\"/en/blog/game-engine/\">Unreal Engine 3</a> and earned praise for its detailed and visually pleasing graphics. It’s exclusive to Microsoft Windows, meaning PC players are currently the <em>only </em>people able to play it.</p>\n\n<p>Elyon was first released in South Korea at the end of 2020 because the developer decided to refine it in a smaller market, before making it available globally. It later came out in <a href=\"https://elyon.playkakaogames.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">October 2021</a> in North America and Europe.</p>\n\n<p>Kakao Games published the title in most territories, but Asiasoft released it in Southeast Asia. Players initially had to sign up to get access to the advanced beta, and when the game was released to the public it proved to be popular.</p>\n\n<h2>Humankind</h2>\n\n<p>Humankind from Amplitude Studios is one of the most ambitious PC exclusives ever made, as it provides players with an opportunity to completely rewrite human history.</p>\n\n<p>The 4X game has been compared to the much-loved Civilization series, as it focuses on major eras of human civilization.</p>\n\n<p>The game uses the Unity engine, and borrows some of the mechanics from previous Amplitude Studios offerings, Endless Space and Endless Legend.</p>\n\n<p>When released in August 2021, Humankind became the fourth-highest selling game in the USA that month. It received a strong critical response and has a score of <a href=\"https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/humankind\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">78/100 on Metacritic</a>.</p>\n\n<p>This title will appeal to people who enjoy in-depth games that take a lot of work and dedication.</p>\n\n<h2>Far Cry 6</h2>\n\n<p>Far Cry 6 is another game to feature a famous actor, in what appears to be a growing trend now that graphics can capture people’s expressions.</p>\n\n<p>This one includes Breaking Bad’s <a href=\"https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002064/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Giancarlo Esposito</a> as El Presidente, Anton Castillo, a dictator in charge of the fictional Caribbean island of Yara. Players take control of Dani Rojas, a guerilla fighter who’s attempting to bring down the fascist regime.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/nzaHfpL2AdA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Before this latest installment from Ubisoft, a few recent Far Cry games were criticized for their story and gameplay choices. Lauded as a return to form, the October 2021 release is one of the best offerings in the franchise for years.</p>\n\n<p>Critics were appreciative of the fact that the developers had done more to add depth to the protagonist. It still features the classic weapon systems and things like liberating outposts, so it will appeal to new and old fans.</p>\n\n<h2>Resident Evil Village</h2>\n\n<p>Resident Evil has been one of the world’s top gaming franchises for nearly 30 years, so it's no surprise to see its latest installment in the list of best PC games for 2021.</p>\n\n<p>The longevity of the series has been in constant evolution, as is how it mixes up its gameplay and story ideas. Resident Evil Village, the latest release from Capcom, is popular thanks to its twist on the standard formula.</p>\n\n<p>The May 2021 release was more action-focused than previous episodes in the franchise and features several new foes for players to fight. It takes place in a cool setting, designed to look like an Eastern European village from Victorian times.</p>\n\n<p>There are various monsters to contend with, but the main baddies are the werewolf-like Lycans. After living up to fans' high expectations for the Resident Evil series, it came as no surprise that this title became one of <a href=\"https://www.thegamer.com/resident-evil-village-2021-best-seller/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">the most popular PC games in 2021</a>.</p>\n\n<h2>Age of Empires IV</h2>\n\n<p>Age of Empires is one of the most popular PC game series of all time, and the latest release has long been anticipated to top best PC games lists in 2021. Age of Empires IV continues with the real-time strategy approach and is set during the Middle Ages this time around.</p>\n\n<p>The gameplay mechanics are based on Age of Empires II, which is one of the best PC games ever made. Stone has been added back as one of the resources after going missing in the last installment, and monks are able to convert units.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/TTaCrP_U4ao\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The scope of Age of Empires IV is bigger than anything that Relic Entertainment and World’s Edge have ever done before. There will be eight different global civilizations available upon the game’s release.</p>\n\n<p>These include the English, the Chinese, the Mongols, and the Holy Roman Empire. The new offering is likely to push the envelope and usher in a new era of the strategy game, with the possibility to develop complex colonies.</p>\n\n<p>Expect this title to be among the top PC games in 2021 (if not the top one) by the end of the year.</p>\n\n<h2>Life is Strange: True Colors</h2>\n\n<p>The Life is Strange series from Deck Nine has been an unprecedented success, and the latest release is one of the best PC games of 2021. The previous offerings were released in an episodic format, with periodic releases.</p>\n\n<p>The newest game published by Square Enix, though, dropped all at once to the delight of players.</p>\n\n<p>Once again, players set off on an open-world adventure around the setting of Haven Springs. The protagonist is Alex Chen, someone who can experience other people’s emotions.</p>\n\n<p>This adds an intriguing element to the various interactions with NPCs that occur throughout the game. This fascinating and unique adventure received positive reviews, and <a href=\"https://www.cgmagonline.com/review/game/life-is-strange-true-colors-pc-review/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">CGM gave it a score</a> of 9.5 out of 10.</p>\n\n<h2>Valheim</h2>\n\n<p>Vikings are a common theme in popular culture now, and Valheim has capitalized on that. The sprawling sandbox survival game from Coffee Stain Publishing was released early for PC gamers, and quickly became one of the best PC games of 2021.</p>\n\n<p>Due to a five-person team at Iron Gate Studio developing this game, players can get a real sense of the love and care that has gone into it.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/ys1G4xjE8Y0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Valheim is an immersive offering in that it gives players the chance to experience what it would have been like to live during Viking times. They must craft their own tools, construct shelters, and fight off enemy clans.</p>\n\n<p>Because the game is procedurally generated, it has almost limitless potential and players can get lost in the sandbox for months. Development is still ongoing, meaning that Valheim is likely to get <em>bigger and better</em>.</p>\n\n<h2>It Takes Two</h2>\n\n<p>For players who enjoy a communal gaming experience, It Takes Two is one of the most popular PC games of 2021. The title from Hazelight Studios and published by Electronic Arts is a multiplayer-only game.</p>\n\n<p>This takes the form of online gameplay, or a classic split-screen display allowing for two players to take part at the same time. Players take control of the two protagonists, Cody and May, a married couple who get sucked into a wild and wacky adventure.</p>\n\n<p>The action-adventure game released in March 2021 is designed to appeal to new and old generations of players. It borrows several elements from classic platform games but combines them with a modern twist.</p>\n\n<p>The gameplay mechanics derive from many classic genres, and change depending on the level you’re playing. For example, the protagonists have diverse abilities such as being able to replicate themselves or reverse time.</p>\n\n<p>Players need to cooperate with their teammates to get the best out of these features and complete the levels. It Takes Two earned high plaudits from critics, who enjoyed its originality and quirky vibe, cementing itself as one of the top PC games in 2021.</p>\n\n<h2>Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy</h2>\n\n<p>Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe offering to get a videogame makeover.</p>\n\n<p>The fun-loving space adventurers have become some of the most beloved characters in the MCU, and the new title from Square Enix captures some of the best parts of the films, including the <a href=\"https://www.slashfilm.com/573671/james-gunns-unused-guardians-of-the-galaxy-songs-playlist/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">infectious soundtrack</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Unlike Marvel’s Avengers, players are not able to take control of all the different characters. The playable protagonist is Peter Quill, otherwise known as Star-Lord. All the other lovable space heroes are there, but they are AI-controlled.</p>\n\n<p>Players can give them orders and use their skills in combat, though, helping to create a rich gameplay experience. This is another title that allows players to enter the sprawling world of the MCU and experience it in a completely new way.</p>\n\n<p>Thanks to the popularity of the film series, this game is likely to go down as one of the best PC games of 2021.</p>\n\n<h2>Chivalry II</h2>\n\n<p>It has been almost ten years since Chivalry: Medieval Warfare launched to receive critical acclaim in 2012. Players have had to wait a while for Torn Banner Studios to come up with its sequel, but Chivalry II was worth the wait.</p>\n\n<p>The hack and slash game will appeal to fans of Game of Thrones and Vikings and gives players a taste of what it would have been like to fight in a medieval battle. It is immersive, especially if you opt to play using the first-person perspective option.</p>\n\n<p>It’s a <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">multiplayer game</a>, meaning that a vast number of players can take part in sprawling battles at the same time.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/r2MdaH4pSro\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Chivalry II has been in the works since 2017, so it should come as no surprise that the finished product is a stunning game.</p>\n\n<p>The breathtaking action enabled it to sell one million copies within the first two months of its release, highlighting how it is one of the most popular games of 2021.</p>\n\n<p>The developers took inspiration from GOT and Lord of The Rings and achieved a cinematic experience that is hard to beat. <a href=\"https://www.ign.com/games/chivalry-2\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">IGN</a> awarded it nine out of ten and praised it for perfectly blending elements of fun and skill.</p>\n\n<p>The title is so realistic that players are even able to use severed limbs as weapons.</p>\n\n<h2>Exciting Games Coming in 2022</h2>\n\n<p>So that was your list of the most popular PC games of 2021. How many of those have you played so far? What do you plan to install next?</p>\n\n<p>It may seem hard to improve upon the top PC games of 2021, but the world’s greatest developers are already doing <em>everything </em>they can to make that happen.</p>\n\n<p>Some of the games to look forward to in 2022 include <strong>Starfield</strong>, <strong>Dying Light 2</strong>, and <strong>Elden Ring</strong>. There are far too many to list, so it’s best to stay in the loop by checking our blog posts here for up to date information and cool news.</p>\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https://plarium.com/en/blog/best-pc-games-2021/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"What Are the 10 Best PC Games of 2021?\",\n  \"image\": \"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_9/14.png\",  \n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"url\": \"https://plarium.com\"\n  },  \n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2021-10-25\"\n}\n</script>","date":"10/24/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week_9/14.png"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13492"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/game-emulators/"},"strings":{"title":"Game Emulator 101 - How to Play Mobile Games on PC","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Do you enjoy playing mobile games, but feel the game would be better played on a PC instead? For all their qualities, mobile phones are still a long way behind PCs in some aspects.</p>\n\n<p>Things like screen size, game controls, and keyboards will always be more usable and comfortable on desktop or laptop computers. If so, a game emulator may just enhance your experience.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https://plarium.com/en/plarium-play/download-guest/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27\"><img alt=\"Raid Shadow Legends On PC\" src=\"https://gallery-pl.go-game.io/uploads/2019/10/RAD_RAID_EN_1920x1080_Serj_2018-0507_01Id5209_B74904_970x250_NoOS_English&IMG=1LSO.jpg\" /></a></p>\n\n<p>That's not to disparage the various mobile platforms, as their portability and range of games (of which, <a href=\"https://www.statista.com/statistics/780229/number-of-available-gaming-apps-in-the-google-play-store-quarter/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">there are 477,877</a> on the Google Play Store) give them an advantage over their technological cousin. Of course, there are ravenous fans on both sides.</p>\n\n<p>For every fiercely loyal mobile or PC fan, there are plenty of other people who would prefer the option to switch between the two at will - even in the same game. This is where the <strong>game emulator</strong> comes in.</p>\n\n<h2>The Game Emulator, Explained</h2>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/blog/cross-platform-games/\">Cross-platform play</a> has been a controversial topic in recent years, as manufacturers like Sony simply weren't interested in providing that kind of functionality to PlayStation owners. Notably, the block-building game Minecraft didn't get crossplay on PlayStation until April 2021.</p>\n\n<p>Mobile is a much more platform-agnostic or \"open\" environment, though, as Google's Android OS allows for the use of game emulator tools on PC. Don't worry if you're expecting a steep learning curve - learning how to play <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile games</a> on PC is easy.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allowtransparency=\"allow=autoplay;\" clipboard-write=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"281\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https://www.facebook.com/minecraft/photos/a.167760186592812/3502192086482922/?type=3&show_text=false&width=500\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" width=\"500\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>A game emulator is a specialized piece of software that enables a game to run on a platform that it was not designed for. It emulates the conditions of the original hardware, allowing the game to run.</p>\n\n<p>For instance, the official compilation <a href=\"https://genesisclassics.sega.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Sega Genesis Classics</a> uses a game emulator to get Sonic the Hedgehog or Streets of Rage (among others) working on Microsoft Windows, Linux, macOS, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.</p>\n\n<p>A virtual console is the same thing as a game emulator, as it's a reproduction of hardware in software form.</p>\n\n<h3>Are Game Emulators Available for Android and iOS?</h3>\n\n<p>There are plenty of questions to be answered already, with the most important one concerning the legality of these tools.</p>\n\n<p>The mobile game emulator is a completely legal piece of software to use as it's incapable of doing anything on its own.  Emulators require Android APK files to function. These are basically the same as games and/or apps - but this is where things get a little complicated.</p>\n\n<p>In summary, as long as the app is free on the Play Store, there are no legal concerns. Some emulators can even connect directly to Google's own mobile marketplace.</p>\n\n<p>Note that Apple, with its famous \"walled-garden\" approach to its own hardware and software, does not support the use of game emulator tools at all.</p>\n\n<h2>Find Something to Play On</h2>\n\n<p>First, it's important to note the difference between simulation and emulation (or a simulator vs. a game emulator). When it comes to gaming systems, an emulator is a direct copy of all the functions of a particular platform.</p>\n\n<p>It will fall apart if the emulator doesn't imitate the hardware and its limitations. In contrast, a simulator provides an example or model of that system where the original rules don't always apply.</p>\n\n<p>The original Super Mario Bros. running on PC is game emulation. The original Super Mario Bros. remade for PC is a simulation.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allowtransparency=\"allow=autoplay;\" clipboard-write=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"289\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https://www.facebook.com/TerrariaOfficial/posts/3792198950845977&show_text=false&width=500\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" width=\"500\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>BlueStacks is the game emulator most commonly associated with running mobile games on PC. As mentioned, it connects to the Play Store so that players can download apps as though their laptop or desktop was a phone - whether that's productivity software or <a href=\"/en/games/genre/adventure-games/\">adventure games</a>.</p>\n\n<p>This game emulator has support for cloud-based gaming on around two hundred titles and counts many high-profile companies among its supporters, including Intel, AMD, and chip manufacturer Qualcomm.</p>\n\n<h3>Google's Own Emulator</h3>\n\n<p>Google does offer its own Android emulator but, as it's part of its developer studio, it's a bit obtuse for everyday use. With BlueStacks, knowing how to play <a href=\"/en/games/os/android-games/\">Android games</a> on PC comes down to almost a single click.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, as such an open ecosystem, there are plenty of other examples of the mobile game emulator on Android.</p>\n\n<p>These include NoxPlayer, AndY, and GameLoop, which is the \"official\" software used to emulate the PC versions of Call of Duty and PUBG on mobiles, according to its Chinese publisher.</p>\n\n<h2>Staying Safe Among the APKs</h2>\n\n<p>It's important to note that any given game emulator will have different features that determine its audience. GameLoop only accepts gaming apps but allows the use of APK files that didn't come from the Play Store.</p>\n\n<p>The importance of this trick, known as \"side-loading\" will become clear shortly.</p>\n\n<p>NoxPlayer lets players record their app usage, which makes it useful for YouTubers or educators, as it can load APKs in any genre. It's not just a game emulator.</p>\n\n<p>Finally, AndY includes an option to have a mobile phone serve as a game control device when playing on a PC.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe allowtransparency=\"allow=autoplay;\" clipboard-write=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"312\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https://www.facebook.com/StardewValley/photos/a.471547346218877/1346655725374697/?type=3&show_text=false&width=500\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" width=\"500\"></iframe></p>\n\n<h2>So, what's all that about side-loading?</h2>\n\n<p>One of the great benefits of the mobile game emulator is that long-forgotten and deleted Android apps can often be found preserved in the internet's many APK repositories.</p>\n\n<p>Remember Tap Tap Revenge? Flappy Bird? Dragon Coins? These once-popular games are all now missing from the Play Store but can still be downloaded from unofficial sources.</p>\n\n<p>While it's just another thing that's banned on iOS devices, Android allows sideloading as standard. There are some things to be aware of, however.</p>\n\n<p>One of the major reasons why Google wants its userbase to get its fitness trackers and robot games from the Play Store is security.</p>\n\n<p>The search giant can't do anything to prevent an app from stealing data or installing malware on a phone if it comes from a third-party website.</p>\n\n<h3>Using Trusted Outlets</h3>\n\n<p>It's therefore important to download <strong>only </strong>from trusted and established APK sites. The popular news website Android Police hosts its own app website called APKMirror, which should serve most people interested in a game emulator well.</p>\n\n<p>Overall, learning how to play mobile games on PC shouldn't be a difficult task for most savvy mobile users or PC enthusiasts.</p>\n<script type=\"application/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https://schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BlogPosting\",\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\n    \"@id\": \"https://plarium.com/en/blog/game-emulators/\"\n  },\n  \"headline\": \"Game Emulator 101 - How to Play Mobile Games on PC\",\n  \"image\": \"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/the-hottest-trends-in-social-gaming-preview.jpg\",  \n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"url\": \"https://plarium.com\"\n  },  \n  \"publisher\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n    \"name\": \"Plarium\",\n    \"logo\": {\n      \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\n      \"url\": \"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"\n    }\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2021-10-25\"\n}\n</script>","date":"10/24/2021"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/old/blog/en/2014/07/the-hottest-trends-in-social-gaming.jpg"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13488"}}],"listArticles":[{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/simple-new-raid-champion/"},"strings":{"title":"All Hail the New Raid Champion: s1mple!"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2021/december/prev.jpg"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13578"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/most-anticipated-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Hands Down 12 Most Anticipated Games of 2022"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2017/week_49/image-4.jpg"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13573"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/retro-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Reason Retro Games Keep Slaying the Game"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/covers/general/5_b.jpg"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13569"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/best-android-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The 10 Best Android Games in 2021 "},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2018/week_14/realtime-turnbased-1.jpg"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13557"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/handheld-game-consoles/"},"strings":{"title":"These are the Top 8 Handheld Game Console Devices of All Time"},"images":{"preview":{"href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2019/week36/images/31.png"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"13551"}}]},"components":{}}},{"name":"widget-blog-social","type":"widget-blog-social","model":{"links":{},"strings":{"title":"Social Media","shareNetworks":"facebook;twitter","shareText":"Follow us:"},"images":{},"template_options":{},"repeaters":{},"components":{}}},{"name":"widget-blog-aside-promoted-game-v3","type":"widget-blog-aside-promoted-game-v3","model":{"links":{"url":"/en/plarium-play/download-user/?plid=147426&pxl=seo&appId=27","urlForGamePage":"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/","googlePlayUrl":"https://app.adjust.com/ay7sjpk?campaign=129426&adgroup=GamePage","appStoreUrl":"https://app.adjust.com/k41dm9d?campaign=129425&adgroup=GamePage"},"strings":{"title":"Raid: Shadow Legends","subtitle":"Collect 400+ Champions & Fight For Glory","label":"Download","analyticsGameName":"raid"},"images":{"promoImg":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/plarium-play/games/Raid/promo.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"authGameTheme":"default","isRedirectDownload":"true"},"repeaters":{},"components":{}}},{"name":"widget-blog-subscribe","type":"widget-blog-subscribe","model":{"links":{},"strings":{"title":"Subscribe to the Blog","errorInvalid":"Invalid email address.
