The tasks you must complete will vary depending on the stealth games you’re playing.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>However, since console and PC stealth games are part of the larger <a href=\"/en/games/genre/war-games/\">war games</a> genre, the tasks usually involve some sort of battle.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, this isn’t always the case. We can <a href=\"https://g.co/kgs/DYWZyz\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">go back to the 1980s</a> and Pac-Man to see how stealth is used in other genres. How is Pac-Man a stealth game?</p>\n\n<p>Simple: you’re trying to avoid capture while eating yellow dots and pieces of fruit. All good stealth games have the fundamental dynamic of trying to achieve a goal without getting caught at their core.</p>\n\n<p>For the purposes of this guide to the best stealth games PC and console users can play, we’re going to focus on titles that go beyond the basics. In other words, the following list of good stealth games doesn’t only feature elements of the genre.</p>\n\n<p>Instead, they’re stealth <a href=\"/en/games/\">video games</a> through and through. <strong>That means the aim of the game is to avoid detection and defeat the enemy.</strong></p>\n\n<h2>What is the Most Popular Stealth Game?</h2>\n\n<p>Like with any other attempt at defining a game, defining the best stealth games isn’t easy. That is because, even though it’s a genre, there are many parts to it.</p>\n\n<p>For example, the best <em>PC </em>stealth games might not necessarily be as engaging on a <em>console </em>such as the PlayStation. Similarly, some people might enjoy war-themed stealth games, while others prefer ones that focus on espionage.</p>\n\n<p>So, while it’s true that most good stealth games are always good stealth games, no matter the platform, we need to be a little more nuanced in the way we rate them.</p>\n\n<p>With this in mind, the <strong>following stealth games have all been picked because they stand out for a specific reason.</strong></p>\n\n<h3>The of Best of All Stealth Games - Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain</h3>\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/RhseWPWYPBA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The Metal Gear Solid franchise is almost unparalleled when it comes to stealth games. The main reason this franchise and, specifically, The Phantom Pain shine is because the way you win is only really limited by your imagination.</p>\n\n<p>This is a true stealth game in the sense that you can roam freely and, in turn, devise your own attacks and escapes.</p>\n\n<p>For example, in The Phantom Pain, you can come up with a ruse to recruit helpers and take on the enemy. You can sit in the bushes with a sniper and blast your foes from miles away.</p>\n\n<p>You can even let your horse leave its mark on the ground so the jeeps pursuing you slip and slide (yes, we mean horse feces). Very few top-rated <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy games</a> give you as much freedom and creativity as Metal Gear Solid 5, which is why it’s regarded as one of the best stealth games there.</p>\n\n<h3>The Best Story - The Last of Us Part II</h3>\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/vhII1qlcZ4E\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Players tend to focus on mechanics and missions when it comes to console and PC stealth games. These things are important, but they’re not the only dynamics that make a game great.</p>\n\n<p>The Last of Us 2 is one of the top stealth games PC and console users can play thanks to its storyline. You get to take control of Ellie, a woman out for revenge after a tragedy, or Abby, a soldier trying to eradicate a religious cult.</p>\n\n<p>Whichever story you choose, there’s a real sense of drama. The post-apocalyptic world sets the tone, but it’s the facial expressions of the characters and accompanying dialogue that give this game a human element like no other.</p>\n\n<p>If you’re a fan of stealth games and want something that will pull you in like a Hollywood movie, The Last of Us Part II is perfect.</p>\n\n<h3>The Best Stealth Game for Creativity - Hitman 3</h3>\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/Z29ORu6_p34\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The Hitman series has been a hit (pardon the pun) for more than two decades. The original game introduced us to Agent 47 and his unique ability to merge into his surroundings and take out the bad guys almost undetected.</p>\n\n<p>Hitman 3 is the final installment of the World of Assassin trilogy. It brings the story arch to a conclusion, which means you’re fighting to eliminate the secret organization known as Providence.</p>\n\n<p>What separates Hitman 3 from other console and PC stealth games is the ways you can avoid detection. Although there is some element of sneaking around in the shadows and hiding behind walls, Hitman 3 is more about finding creative ways to go about your business.</p>\n\n<p>This means donning disguises and assuming different personas to infiltrate the enemy. That’s what separates it from the pack and makes it one of the best stealth games out there.</p>\n\n<h3>The Most Fun Stealth Game - Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time</h3>\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/_Oso_6Xwy0E\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Not all stealth games have to be serious. Sly Cooper is aimed at younger gamers or those that want a more fantastical type of adventure. Your job is to take control of Sly Cooper, a raccoon descended from a long line of master thieves.</p>\n\n<p>As well as taking Sly on a mission through an animated world filled with human-like animals, you’ll also have control of his family and friends.</p>\n\n<p>In essence, you’re trying to reunite the gang of thieves so they can work in unison to repair the legendary book, Thievius Raccoonus. This dynamic, combined with the cartoon-like styling, makes Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time extremely entertaining and definitely one of the most enjoyable stealth video games ever.</p>\n\n<h3>The Best Stealth Mechanics - Dishonored 2</h3>\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/7bLNC8VDTlQ\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The follow up to the hit stealth game Dishonored, this Arkane Studios creation sees you reprise the role of supernatural assassins, Emily or her father Corvo Attano. You can play as either character.</p>\n\n<p>What’s more, they each have their own set of skills which make the battle sequences extremely engaging. Whoever you play as, the goal is always the same: reclaim the throne.</p>\n\n<p>Of all the stealth games on PC and console, Dishonored 2 is among the best thanks to its mechanics. It’s nonlinear, which means you can jump backwards and forwards in time.</p>\n\n<p>This not only keeps things interesting after multiple plays, it means you can complete missions in a variety of different ways. Add to this a world-building element and creative ways to avoid detection and Dishonored 2 is right up there with the best stealth games in history.</p>\n\n<h2>Go Undercover and Play Stealth Video Games</h2>\n\n<p>So, here we are with five of the best stealth games ever released.</p>\n\n<p>No matter if you want to hide in the shadows and strangle unsuspecting criminals or journey through time, you’ve got plenty of ways to go undercover and have fun with the leading stealth games.</p>\n","date":"8/23/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The top stealth games to play right now","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/stealth-games-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14953"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/games-play-friends-phone/"},"strings":{"title":"5 Games to Play with Friends on Your Phone","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"420000","description":"<p>Today, we are at a point in history where the quality of mobile games is beginning to rival that of consoles, and in certain regards might even be better.</p>\n\n<p>Obviously, our games can also be mentioned here as some of the most fun to play on your phone with new and old friends alike. To do that, all you need to do is click below and see for yourself:</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>These days, you don’t have to crowd around a game with poor blocky graphics and limited gameplay anymore. Instead, you can choose from a range of fast-paced shooters to engaging puzzle and board games.</p>\n\n<p>lThere are numerous games to play with friends on the phone, in various types and genres.</p>\n\n<p>From classic console games like Mario Kart, to board games like Monopoly - there is definitely no lack in choice. Check out our favorites listed here:</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"among-us\">Among Us</h2>\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/NSJ4cESNQfE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>You may have seen the cute, colorful characters from Among Us in stores across the globe. The game went viral after a push by YouTubers and streaming gamers, and a range of plush merchandise and ties-in products soon followed.</p>\n\n<p>Yet all the hype is well and truly deserved as it is one of the most interesting group games to play with friends on the phone.</p>\n\n<p>Developed by studio Innersloth studios, it is a game of social deduction. You are all astronauts on a ship, most of who are crew mates but some of which are chosen as hidden imposters.</p>\n\n<p>A list of tasks is assigned to each player which must be completed, though imposters cannot perform tasks and must try to blend in. Imposters win by sabotaging a critical system or killing the crew members. Crew members win by completing all their tasks or finding all the imposters.</p>\n\n<p><strong>One of the great things about Among Us is that you can play it with up to 15 players</strong>, so you can get a huge party going. It is also great fun, especially as you get to see what goes on in the minds of your friends, who can turn out to be quite good liars.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"mario-kart-tour\">Mario Kart Tour</h2>\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/gx7rIVeBuW0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p><strong>Mario Kart is arguably the greatest party game of all time.</strong> There is no satisfaction quite like sending your best friend hurtling off the edge of Rainbow Road. It stands to reason that a mobile version would arrive, and it does everything you would expect plus more.</p>\n\n<p>For anyone who does not know Mario Kart, it is Nintendo's flagship racing game. You take the place of one of the gaming company's characters and drive a small kart around a track, hoping to claim the first position.</p>\n\n<p>On your way, you encounter winding courses, obstacles, and other players with tricks and gadgets who will try to send you to the back.</p>\n\n<p>Games to play with friends on your phone don’t come much simpler either as all you need is Bluetooth and to be together in the same location. It allows you to play with up to 7 friends.</p>\n\n<p>As Mario Kart usually only appears on Nintendo consoles it is a great way to access it if you don’t have a Switch, and best of all, it is free.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"spaceteam\">Spaceteam</h2>\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Did you know that <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/SpaceteamVR?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SpaceteamVR</a> features crossplay between different platforms and VR hardware?

It has now been around for about 10 years but remains fairly unknown.</p>\n\n<p>Each player is part of a space crew and will have a screen filled with words and commands known as technobabble. Players are told what command needs to be completed to save their spaceship and they must verbally tell their teammates what that is.</p>\n\n<p>Teammates must then search and see if the command is on their device. While this sounds simple, mislabeled instruments and requested actions inevitably end up in a lot of shouting.</p>\n\n<p>This can take place with two to eight players, and the more you have the harder, but more fun, it gets. All you need is a phone and Bluetooth connectivity to access one of the funniest games to play with friends on the phone.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"pubg-mobile\">PUBG Mobile</h2>\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/uCd6tbUAy6o\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>In the last few years <a href=\"/en/blog/battle-royale/\">battle royale games</a> have grown in popularity. They involve players being dropped onto a map, where they must scavenge the land, pick up weapons and items, fighting until only one remains.</p>\n\n<p>While there are many different types, Player Unknown Battlegrounds (PUBG) is the original title that made the genre so popular.</p>\n\n<p>It makes sense that a mobile-only game was released, and it has provided as popular as its PC and console counterparts. Whole Esports tournaments are now taking place with the title. All you need to do is add your friends to your list and then invite them to play a game together.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"words-with-friends-2\">Words With Friends 2</h2>\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/dwHNYb16L9Q\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Words with Friends is a much more cerebral affair than other games on the list, taking the concept of the classic word game Scrabble and transporting it to mobile devices (making it an additional <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile game</a>, meaning it would still be available on other platforms as well).</p>\n\n<p>It uses push notifications and lets you play up to 40 games at once, so you can have slow games, answer whenever you and a friend like, or sit around a table and go head-to-head.</p>\n\n<p>For anyone new to the game, you and the other players all have a series of tiles that contain letters. You must make a word on the board, placing characters in the designated spaces for bonuses and piggybacking off letters and words others have placed.</p>\n\n<p>Each letter has a score based on how hard it is to use. At the end of the game, the person with the highest score wins.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-best-phone-games-to-play-with-friends-by-niche\">Games by Niche</h2>\n\n<h3 id=\"2-player-games-on-separate-phones\">2 Player Games on Separate Phones</h3>\n\n<p>When it comes to <strong>two-player games you have two choices: Either head-to-head play or co-operative</strong>. If you want to go head-to-head, sports games are always a good option such as NBA Jam.</p>\n\n<p>For fun skill-based options, try Worms Armageddon.</p>\n\n<p>When you want something cooperative, then the classic Minecraft is one of the best games to play with friends on the phone and will provide hours of fun.</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"Games to play with your friends on the phone by niche\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/games-to-play-with-friends-on-phone-2.webp\" /></p>\n\n<h3 id=\"games-to-play-with-friends-at-home\">Games to Play With Friends at Home</h3>\n\n<p>If you are having a group of friends around for <a href=\"/en/games/genre/multiplayer-games/\">multiplayer games</a>, you either want a fun title that is competitive or a cooperative one.</p>\n\n<p>Spaceteam is great for parties, where you can make noise and get increasingly frustrated.</p>\n\n<p>Another good choice is Houseparty, which has a range of games included in one app.</p>\n\n<p>When you want games to play with friends on the phone that include some trivia action, you really should try <a href=\"https://kahoot.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Kahoot</a>, which will also let you plan your <em>own </em>quiz.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"phone-games-to-play-with-friends-long-distance\">Phone Games to Play With Friends Long Distance</h3>\n\n<p>The best long-distance games to play with friends on the phone are usually ones that don't require instant responses, <em>especially </em>if you cross time zones and have different sleeping patterns.</p>\n\n<p>Board games such as Cluedo, Uno, and Monopoly are good choices.

New games are coming out every day across all platforms, with each one playing into a different genre.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>So many developers have toyed with the essence of video game genres in the past and present that now, hundreds of game genres exist.</p>\n\n<p>As there are so many interweaving categories of games, we’ve refined the focus. Here, we’ll introduce you to the biggest, most popular, and most novel video game genres in existence. Variety is the spice of life, after all.</p>\n\n<p>Hopefully, this breakdown will help you find the types of video games that will entertain you the most.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"action-games\">Action Games</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Action, Robot and Shooter Games are among the most popular video game genres over the last few years\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/video-game-genres-2.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p><strong>Of all the video game genres, action has to be one of the most diverse.</strong></p>\n\n<p>In these types of video games, you control the action and are often posed with reactionary or physical obstacles.</p>\n\n<p>So, you could need to defeat your rival in a fighting game, shoot your way out of an airport, sneak around a crypt, or even speed run across a side-scrolling screen filled with foes.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"adventure-games\">Adventure Games</h2>\n\n<p><strong>Adventure games are the quintessential hero story games</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>These stand out among other similar video game genres by not focussing so much on combat or confrontation. Instead, you’re tasked with exploring and unlocking the secrets of an overarching story and the environment.</p>\n\n<p>You’ll almost certainly need to battle at some point, but the more important combat scenes often come down to puzzle-solving.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"castle-games\">Castle Games</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Castle games are another recent favorite video game genre\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/video-game-genres-3.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>The chances are that you’ll find castle games dotted around several game genres, from strategic defense games to casual castle builders. To stand on its own amongst other video game genres,<strong> a castle game needs to emphasize your place on the throne.</strong></p>\n\n<p>From there, you build within your castle, establish trade routes, and, importantly, upgrade its defenses.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"casual-games\">Casual Games</h2>\n\n<p><strong>There are many categories of games within the casual games banner </strong>of video game genres. However, they’re all connected by easygoing gameplay, simple controls, and a clear-cut progression system.</p>\n\n<p>Many will offer you a bit of free roam to go about the game as you please, while others will have one direction.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"match-3-games\">Match 3 Games</h2>\n\n<p>A classic form of puzzler that’s gone mainstream, <strong>Match 3 games have become so popular that they’re now considered among the biggest video game genres</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>Mobile is the main home for match 3 games now, with the touch-screen controls making the puzzles even more enjoyable to complete.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"medieval-games\">Medieval Games</h2>\n\n<p>Some of the leading video game genres lean heavily into a theme and all of its associated environments. This is the case for medieval games, which can see you playing in the old days of swords, shields, firing bows on horseback, and battles in the field.</p>\n\n<p><strong>With castles and maybe an infusion of fantasy, medieval games are always a huge draw.</strong></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"mmo-games\">MMO Games</h2>\n\n<p><strong>Massively multiplayer online games have been popular since online gaming became a thing</strong>. There are now many video game genres that owe their existence to the MMO game trailblazers.</p>\n\n<p>MMO games span a great many sub-genres, with the combining element being that they’re played online by a huge number of people at any one time.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/blog/battle-royale/\">Battle royale titles</a> are one of the more recent types of video games to come under the MMO umbrella.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"mmorpg-games\">MMORPG Games</h2>\n\n<p>MMORPG games are, essentially, one of the categories of games under MMO. They’re massively multiplayer online games, but the game itself is strictly a role-playing game – or RPG.</p>\n\n<p><strong>As far as video game genres span, MMORPG is rather distinct, </strong>with it needing to infuse the common elements of an RPG into an online game that hosts hundreds, even thousands, of players at once.</p>\n\n<p>It creates a role-playing world of its own.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"multiplayer-games\">Multiplayer Games</h2>\n\n<p><strong>Multiplayer games don’t have to be as expansive as other video game genres that rely on an internet connection</strong>. MMOs require a massive audience, while a multiplayer game could just host standalone games between ten, four, or even just two players.</p>\n\n<p>You could find yourself in a 1v1 fighting multiplayer game, or embark on a space odyssey with four others in a multiplayer survival game.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"puzzle-games\">Puzzle Games</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Often overlooked, puzzles are probably one of the oldest and most beloved videogame genre\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/video-game-genres-4.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p><strong>There’s an argument to be made for many video game genres actually being puzzle games.</strong> For this list of video game genres, we’ll consider puzzle games to be those that take on the puzzle aesthetic.</p>\n\n<p>So, you need to work out ways to move a set board or within a setting to make it to the end, with that puzzle resetting when you restart if you fail.</p>\n\n<p>Puzzle games are often the ones that people who want to solve a more intellectual challenge rather than a gaming-skill-driven one take up.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"pvp-games\">PvP Games</h2>\n\n<p>When the game’s programming simply isn’t challenging enough, it’s time to throw down in the unpredictable field of PvP.</p>\n\n<p><strong>PvP games can come in the form of many other video game genres, but all of them put you online against another human player to compete.</strong></p>\n\n<p>PvP – or “player versus player” – games could see you face one other player to battle your teams of fantasy creatures, or you and a bunch of others battle another group in a lane game.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"robot-games\">Robot Games</h2>\n\n<p><strong>Robot games are continuing to be increasingly popular</strong>, which is another reason we decided to include them in our list. Like many other genres, robot games can fit into several game genres.</p>\n\n<p>However, as they usually task you with playing as robots, there’s almost always a sci-fi theme.</p>\n\n<p>As for more general genres, robot games can often be found as strategy or action titles.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"rpg-games\">RPG Games</h2>\n\n<p><strong>Perhaps the biggest of all video game genres, role-playing games continue to be huge sellers.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Drawing from the classic tabletop RPGs, they put you in the protagonist's role. From there, you need to explore the world, complete quests, find items, craft, upgrade, build, fight, and get to the end of one or several story threads.</p>\n\n<p>Core to RPG games is the leveling up system through experience points, as well as the decision-making mechanics.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"shooters\">Shooters</h2>\n\n<p><strong>If you’ve got a gun in front of your character, you’re playing a shooter.</strong> At a time, shooting games were one of the video game genres under action.</p>\n\n<p>However, the format – particularly of first-person shooters – became so dominant that shooting games became their own genre.</p>\n\n<p>While the themes vary greatly, mostly, you’ll be playing from the character’s point of view, aiming down the sights to kill whatever’s in your path.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"solitaire-games\">Solitaire Games</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"No list of video game genres is complete without solitaire\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/video-game-genres-5.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>Who would have thought that with all of the technological innovations across video game genres that solitaire would still be a hugely popular game?</p>\n\n<p>Available both offline with a physical stack of cards, or as more complex, visually compelling games,<strong> solitaire games are so accessible and well-known that anyone can enjoy them with ease.</strong></p>\n\n<p>This also makes solitaire one of the most beloved card games and video games worldwide.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"strategy-games\">Strategy Games</h2>\n\n<p><strong>Many video game genres have a bunch of sub-categories, but strategy games only really have two.</strong></p>\n\n<p>There are turn-based strategy games where you move and then wait for all other players or factions to make their moves in order.</p>\n\n<p>Or, there are real-time strategy games in which you need to adjust your tactics and plans in the moment of what is usually a battle.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"survival-games\">Survival Games</h2>\n\n<p>Usually invoking elements of RPG and adventure games, <strong>survival games have become super hot in recent years.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Your task: survive. It’s one of the more simple ways to describe video game genres, but that is the premise of each. The usual setup is that you’re dropped into an increasingly hostile environment with little more than the basics and your bare hands.</p>\n\n<p>You need to then find somewhere to set up, harvest resources, craft tools, build defenses, and explore the world around you.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"war-games\">War Games</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"War games are among the most popular action video game genres\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/video-game-genres-56.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p><strong>Of all video game genres, few have the same draw as war games</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>Whether they take place in the 1940s, medieval era, or at some undetermined time in the future, war games invoke action and strategy to conquer all those in your path.</p>\n\n<p>There are many PvP and real-time strategy war games, but they really made their name in the space of turn-based strategy and first-person shooters.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"questions-from-around-the-web\">Questions From Around the Web</h2>\n\n<h3 id=\"how-many-genres-are-there-in-video-games?\">How many genres are there in video games?</h3>\n\n<p>Including all the sub-genres, fringe genres, and fusion genres, there are easily over 100 video game genres for you to play and explore. Many titles fit into a couple of video game genres, allowing you to get the best aspects from both and enjoy an infused experience.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"what-are-popular-game-genres?\">What are popular game genres?</h3>\n\n<p>Right now, the list of popular video game genres includes shooter games, action games, adventure games, action-adventure games, role-playing games, MMORPGs, sports simulation games, racing games, battle royale games, and casual games. Of course, within each of those video game genres, there’ll be popular sub-genres, too.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"what-are-the-top-five-video-game-genres?\">What are the top five video game genres?</h3>\n\n<p>The top five most <em>popular </em>video game genres right now are:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Action Games (including FPS, Fighting, and Platformers)</li>\n\t<li>Adventure Games (including Action-Adventure titles)</li>\n\t<li>Role-Playing Games (including MMORPGs)</li>\n\t<li>Strategy Games (including RTS and TBS)</li>\n\t<li>Simulation Games (including Sports, Life, and Management Sims)</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3 id=\"what-genre-is-gta?\">What genre is GTA?</h3>\n\n<p>Technically speaking, Grand Theft Auto is listed as an action-adventure game. Having said that, however, GTA V could just as easily fit into the video game genres of shooting games, racing games, crime games, multiplayer games, and open-world games.</p>\n\n<p>This is why the games boast such a massive amount of appeal to the gaming community.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"a-plethora-of-options\">A Plethora of Options</h2>\n\n<p>So, there you have it, our list of the top video game genres currently ruling the gaming industry. </p>\n\n<p>As previously mentioned, there are, in fact, <em>hundreds </em>of video game genres these days, but our list only includes the leading ones in terms of popularity and players. </p>\n\n<p>What's your favorite?</p>\n","date":"8/11/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Video game genres","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/video-game-genres-v2.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14951"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/popular-games-right-now/"},"strings":{"title":"The 10 Most Popular Games Right Now","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>The gaming industry moves at a pace of its own - and a very fast one at that!

Regardless of whether players are locked in battle royales, trying to survive, or fighting in tower-defense mode, the point is they’re playing.</p>\n\n<p>With over 62K positive votes on Ranker in 2022 and 80M monthly active users, Fortnite remains one of the most popular games right now.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"fall-guys\">Fall Guys</h3>\n\n<p>This <a href=\"/en/blog/battle-royale/\">battle royale</a> game from Mediatonic and Epic Games continues to impress. One of the main reasons Fall Guys is one of the most popular games right now is the fact it’s free to play.</p>\n\n<p>The publishing rights were transferred to Epic Games in 2021 and, since June 2022, it’s been free to play. What’s more, Epic Games has made it available on more platforms, including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox One, a move that has increased its popularity.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"league-of-legends\">League of Legends</h3>\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/mDYqT0_9VR4\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Who said the multiplayer online battle arena (<a href=\"/en/blog/moba-games-guide/\">MOBA</a>) genre was dead? Although MOBA may have lost some of its popularity to the battle royale genre (due to Fortnite), it still remains a hit.</p>\n\n<p>Why? Because players still love League of Legends. Aside from being the definitive name in strategy-based battle games, League of Legends is still pulling in <a href=\"https://leaguefeed.net/did-you-know-total-league-of-legends-player-count-updated/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">over 100M active users every month</a>.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"playerunknown's-battlegrounds\">PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds</h3>\n\n<p>PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is one of the most popular games right now and it probably will be for a long time.</p>\n\n<p>It has over 1.2B users (that's right, over <strong>1 billion</strong>), and even though the number of peak concurrent users is significantly less than 1.2 billion (it’s just under 700M in 2022), it’s still a hit thanks to its ongoing updates and drops.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"crossfire\">CrossFire</h3>\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/fOC9bmY4dB8\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>CrossFire might not be as well known in the west, but it’s a big deal in the East. Specifically, this Counter-Strike clone from Smilegate Entertainment is a huge hit in Korea.</p>\n\n<p>With 8 million concurrent players at peak times, it’s already one of the most popular games right now. However, its popularity is only going to increase thanks to a deal in 2021 that made it exclusively available on all Microsoft platforms.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"roblox\">Roblox</h3>\n\n<p>Though not technically a game, Roblox has been around since 2006, and it’s still one of the most played game platforms right now. What’s interesting about Roblox is the culture that surrounds it.</p>\n\n<p>Because users can program games and, in turn, make them available to other players, there’s a hardcore community out there. This has helped Roblox remain popular not as one game, but as a source of viewing entertainment on Twitch and YouTube.</p>\n\n<p>Even today, the game platform gets 1 million concurrent players at peak times with ease.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"lost-ark\">Lost Ark</h3>\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/PmUNt90j42w\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Lost Ark is one of the most popular games right now due to the fact it can still attract over 800K concurrent users at peak times. That’s impressive for a few reasons.</p>\n\n<p>Firstly, this <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPG</a> was only released in 2022. Secondly, it hasn’t lost its initial appeal like rival MMORPGs. Like New World, Lost Ark attracted over 1M active users at peak times in its first month.</p>\n\n<p>New World has lost momentum, but Lost Ark continues to attract strong numbers.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"counter-strike:-global-offensive\">Counter-Strike: Global Offensive</h3>\n\n<p>CS:GO is one of the most consistent performers out there. We could choose almost any year since its release in 2012 and this <a href=\"/en/games/genre/shooting-games/\">first-person shooter</a> would be among the most popular games.</p>\n\n<p>This is still true today. CS:GO is one of the most popular games right now because it attracts 1 million concurrent users at peak times. Add to this more than 24M monthly active users and it really is one of the most popular games right now and, in all likelihood, will continue to be for a long time.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"valorant\">Valorant</h3>\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/e7VOQ1l20eo\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This 5v5 character-based tactical FPS from Riot Games has gradually increased in popularity over the last few years. Initially released for PC and consoles in 2020, Riot Games announced in 2021 that a mobile version would be coming soon as a result of continued demand.</p>\n\n<p>That demand is clear for all to see. It currently has over 14M active monthly users and anything involving Valorant draws big numbers on Twitch.</p>\n\n<p>For example, when Michael ‘shroud’ Grzesiek played his first official match for Sentinels on the Valorant Champions Tour, peak viewership topped 600K. This alone makes Valorant one of the most popular games right now.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"play-the-most-popular-games-right-now\">Play the Most Popular Games Right Now</h2>\n\n<p>That’s 10 of the most popular games right now. As you can see, no genre has a monopoly right now.</p>\n\n<p>It’s clear that players love shooters in all their various forms, but that’s not the only type of game that’s piquing people’s interests. That’s great news for gamers that like to go outside of their comfort zone and try something <em>different</em>.</p>\n\n<p>With this in mind, take your time to go back through our list of most popular games right now and play something new, or revisit some old favorites.</p>\n","date":"8/9/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"What are the most popular games right now?","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/popular-games-now-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14946"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/play-to-earn/"},"strings":{"title":"Is Play to Earn Still “the Future” of Gaming?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Mid-to-late 2021 and early 2022 forced so many money-making, reality-changing ideas into the mainstream. In the middle of the year, celebrities were buying and boasting about their multi-million Bored Ape Yacht Club digital art NFTs.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>At the end of October, Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the new company name, Meta, and his plans to introduce the world to the digital space dubbed the “Metaverse.” Bubbling up during this time, play to earn games based on NFTs, cryptocurrencies, and blockchains gathered players.</p>\n\n<p>It wasn’t long before the craze of mainstream headlines covering “crypto millionaires” reached the early movers in the play to earn space. By 2021, the number of active blockchain games doubled. However, play to earn looks to have hit a wall.</p>\n\n<p>Headlines of collapsing games, values, and players swarm the industry. At the same time, underpinning crypto values have tumbled significantly. So, we ask if there’s a future for the play to earn model in the gaming industry now that the dust has settled.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-play-to-earn-in-gaming?\">What Is Play to Earn in Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p>You’ll be familiar with the “play to win”, a phrase that players slap onto titles that aren’t skill-based, unlike game genres such as <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPGs</a>.</p>\n\n<p>In these, the way that the in-game markets are set up, players need to pay more to get better and can then win more multiplayer matchups.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Play to earn games and nft gaming\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/play2earn-2.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>“Play to earn” was coined as a positive flip on this much-maligned business model. To understand how play to earn works, you need to know a few more technical terms, which we’ll go through here:</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"what-are-nfts?\">What are NFTs?</h3>\n\n<p><strong>NFTs are <a href=\"/en/blog/nft-gaming/\">“non-fungible tokens.”</a> </strong>These are digital files that can guarantee a set scarcity and ownership by being on a blockchain. So, an item created as an NFT on a blockchain will have some form of identification.</p>\n\n<p>It is also tracked across the blockchain with each transaction to guarantee ownership. It essentially allows for digital creators to maintain value, scarcity, and ownership in creation and discount any attempts to sell fakes.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"what-is-blockchain-gaming?\">What is Blockchain Gaming?</h3>\n\n<p>Blockchain gaming is a new form of gaming that sees developers build their gaming software with blockchain integration. This allows them to then create NFTs and allow for the use of cryptocurrency purchases and withdrawals.</p>\n\n<p>The core technology of the blockchain is essential to the game’s economy, marketplace, and trust in the game itself. Blockchain gaming allows for play to earn crypto games to exist.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"what-are-play-to-earn-games?\">What Are Play to Earn Games?</h3>\n\n<p>Play to earn games are games that are built on a blockchain and allow for the earning of NFTs, which can then be sold in exchange for cryptocurrencies on the game’s market with other players. The cryptocurrency earned through the sale can then be withdrawn from the game.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Blockchain games and play to earn games\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/play2earn-3.webp\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"a-great-concept-on-its-face\">A Great Concept on Its Face</h2>\n\n<p>With cryptocurrencies going mainstream – even if not for their intended purposes of replacing fiat currencies – playing to earn crypto games that allow you to get coins seemed like a grand idea. With the idea of NFTs also gaining traction, existing play to earn titles skyrocketed in popularity.</p>\n\n<p>In the final four months of 2020, <strong>the total market cap for NFTs climbed to upwards of $7 billion from around $60 million</strong>. With so much money already being spent on NFT art and games, just about every major company wanted in on the action.</p>\n\n<p>For gaming, it seemed like a natural pivot. Given the number of titles that offer in-game transactions for digital items that then can’t be redeemed for real money or get outdated with the next edition of the franchise, players warmed to the idea.</p>\n\n<p>Now, in theory, players could recoup some of their grind time by selling items to other players for <em>real money.</em></p>\n\n<h2>A Great Collapse of Play-to-Earn Gaming</h2>\n\n<p>Play to earn games enjoyed a strong spell in the spotlight, but as they’re inherently tied to crypto markets, their days in the sun were always numbered. After the summer 2022 crypto crash,<strong> NFT sales plummeted to a mere $1 billion – down $11.6 billion six months prior.</strong></p>\n\n<p>It wasn’t just a collapse of crypto and associated markets, though. Many leading play to earn crypto games have faded in popularity. Then, existing gaming companies trying to introduce NFTs missed the mark significantly.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The collapse of play to earn gaming\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/play2earn-4.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>The fan backlash against games like <a href=\"https://www.eurogamer.net/tom-clancys-ghost-recon-breakpoint-review-a-limp-and-lifeless-spin-on-the-ubisoft-formula\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint</a> bringing in NFTs was colossal, resulting in many other companies walking back on their plans. It's important to note this wasn't the case with all <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy games</a> at the time, but only the ones promoting NFTs in such a manner.</p>\n\n<p>Axie Infinity was bleeding players through the start of 2022. The face of play to earn gaming then got hit by a $600 million hack. By <strong>June 2022, the play to earn the title was deemed to have a “completely collapsed” economy.</strong></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-inherent-flaws-of-play-to-earn-and-nft-gaming\">The Inherent Flaws of Play To Earn and NFT Gaming</h2>\n\n<p>Play to earn games are inherently flawed in the concept being applied to the modern gaming industry. For a play to earn ecosystem to work:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The game needs to remain popular indefinitely.</li>\n\t<li>It needs to host thousands of regular players.</li>\n\t<li>Accessibility for newcomers is essential.</li>\n\t<li>Past and future digital assets need to hold or offer more value.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>You will know that there are only a handful of online games that remain perpetually popular. This is mostly through a rigorous update system and seasons.</p>\n\n<p>Still, how many people do you know who have only played the one game since launch for years on end? The games industry is built on driving players to the next release. Another issue with play to earn and NFT games has been the marketing.</p>\n\n<p>Inadvertent or not, most people know about play to earn titles through the dollar signs on headlines. In reality, it’s only the people who are first to the game and grind it out for big returns.</p>\n\n<p>They then sell up and go. It’s almost like a hit-and-run tactic or passing an increasingly less valuable hot potato down the line. No one wants to be the one stuck with the perceivably valuable digital item when the market decides otherwise.</p>\n\n<p>It’s because of this that many play to earn games are now being likened to pyramid schemes.</p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, at some point, the developers will stop supporting the game. Without a vast system of interoperability between games that will go on, all of these NFTs become useless when the developers pull the plug.</p>\n\n<p>As it costs to keep running online games, if the players go, so will the hosts.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"are-play-to-earn-games-legit?\">Are Play To Earn Games Legit?</h3>\n\n<p>You can go into a play to earn game, grind for digital assets, and then sell them in its marketplace to get cryptocurrencies, which can then be cashed out as fiat money.</p>\n\n<p>However,<strong> making millions from play to earn software is mostly reserved for the earliest of movers</strong>. Play to earn and NFTs may have sunk in popularity from just a year ago, but major companies see them as the future.</p>\n\n<p>So, it’s unlikely that we’ve seen the last of such creations.</p>\n","date":"8/8/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Play to earn games seem they are here to stay","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/play2earn-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14945"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/play-store-games/"},"strings":{"title":"What Are the Top Play Store Games?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>The popularity of mobile gaming is rising, as more powerful and engaging titles are transported to handheld devices.

It is the search engine giant's platform for managing its catalog of apps and games.</p>\n\n<p>People can go on, select both free and paid apps, and then download them for use on their Android phone or device.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/playstore-3.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>You don’t just have <em>games </em>on the Play Store, either.

Nonetheless, some app games are most definitely worth checking out, based on average player reviews and trends.</p>\n\n<p>Genshin Impact is one of the biggest <a href=\"/en/games/category/free-to-play-games/\">free-to-play games</a> in the world. A <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">role-playing game</a> in the traditional <a href=\"/en/blog/eastern-games-vs-western-games/\">Japanese style</a>. It is unique, as it lets you switch between characters as you play, instead of the standard weapon and stat building systems.</p>\n\n<p>This allows you to build teams to explore a huge and diverse land.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/playstore-4.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>For fans of driving games, GRID Autosport is a must-have title. It is the closest you will get to a real supercar experience on a mobile device and is not that far off from its more powerful PC version.</p>\n\n<p>While it does take up a lot of mobile space, if you want to be firmly in the driving seat, it is an essential download.</p>\n\n<p>Anyone who likes battle royale-style shooter Play Store games should try PUBG Mobile. There are plenty of maps and updates come thick and fast, meaning the game seldom gets stale or repetitive.</p>\n\n<p>It also has a unique number of game modes only available to mobile players, in some ways making it superior to console and PC versions.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-highest-grossing-play-store-games-of-all-time?\">What Are the Highest Grossing Play Store Games of All Time?</h2>\n\n<p>Some Play Store games may not be top of the charts now, but over time have garnered a huge number of downloads.

Yet on the other end of the scale, major studios have started to develop standalone mobile titles of their most popular games. League of Legends: Wild Rift and PUBG Mobile are a few titles getting huge popularity and exposure. The most popular categories of games are:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Arcade</li>\n\t<li>Action</li>\n\t<li>Casual</li>\n\t<li>Word</li>\n\t<li>RPG</li>\n\t<li>Simulation</li>\n\t<li>Sports</li>\n\t<li>Educational</li>\n\t<li>Puzzle</li>\n\t<li>Card</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-new-logo\">The New Logo</h2>\n\n<p>The Google Play Store recently hit its tenth anniversary and to celebrate, Google redesigned its logo for the store. This means that as it rolls out, you may see applications and Play Store games with both the old and new logos on them.</p>\n\n<p>The new one has a more subdued palette and is more in keeping with its other service logos. It retains the Google colors, but in a less garish manner.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"redeeming-play-store-reward-points\">Redeeming Play Store Reward Points</h2>\n\n<p>As part of its changes, Google is also testing different and <em>easier </em>ways to redeem Play Store points. These are a reward system for Play Store games and apps that appeared in 2019.</p>\n\n<p>When money gets spent on apps, movies, games, and music, Play Store points come as part of the purchase. The more that gets spent, the more points are given. These are redeemable for in-app purchases in Play Store games, such as skins and loot boxes.</p>\n\n<p>However, recent changes have seen Google experimenting with how consumers can use these points. Some customers have been allowed to exchange them for real hardware on the Google Store, not just Play Store game rewards.</p>\n\n<p>While it is not available everywhere and still seems to be an experiment, it suggests Google may be willing to experiment with rewards in the future.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"policy-improvements\">Policy Improvements</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/playstore-5.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>Changes have also been made regarding the types of paid and free game apps that can go on the Play Store and how they operate. This makes the whole system much more secure and increases the enjoyment level of apps and Play Store games.</p>\n\n<p>One of the changes is a purge of apps that copycat more <em>popular </em>apps. For example, you may see many games that have logos similar to top-tier titles, with names and graphics that also look the same. This is often to mislead people into downloading the app.</p>\n\n<p>Another is set to eliminate full-screen in-app ads. If you use free game apps and Play Store games, particularly free ones, large screen pop-up ads often appear during loading or even gameplay.</p>\n\n<p>While they offer a source of revenue for developers, they are annoying and destroy both enjoyment and usability. With these changes, full-page ads will become a thing of the past.</p>\n\n<p>Finally, the company will make it easier to cancel any paid subscriptions to Play Store games. A clear, easy-to-use method to cancel subscriptions must be included somewhere in the application.</p>\n","date":"8/4/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Play Store Games Guide","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/playstore-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14942"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/gaming-quotes/"},"strings":{"title":"10 Powerful Gaming Quotes from Video Games","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"420000","description":"<p>People are always looking for quotes to help them through tough times, using them to help inspire them and drive them forward when they face tough times.</p>\n\n<p>These quotes can originate from famous speeches, movies and nowadays even gaming quotes have a major impact on people's lives.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>Video games, unlike other forms of entertainment, allow players to live their stories by playing through them (this is especially true for games such as <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPGs</a>).</p>\n\n<p>Some even offer players the option of <a href=\"https://www.gamerefinery.com/chinese-interactive-story-games-the-unicorn-of-the-subgenres/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">choosing how stories progress</a> and end by forcing them to make decisions that can alter the outcome of a story.</p>\n\n<p>This level of immersion often leads to much dialogue throughout games, with some words spoken by characters resonating with the players.

Kingdom Hearts</h2>\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/cHt1Tj6Kes0?start=124\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p><em>I don’t need a weapon; my friends are my power!</em></p>\n\n<p>One of the most iconic game series of all time, Kingdom Hearts has is a crossover title where the world of Disney meets Final Fantasy. And when the motto of Disney is for every smile there must be a tear, you know it is going to pack some serious punches.</p>\n\n<p>This is one of the most inspirational gaming quotes because it reminds us how important friends are. When you have the people you love around you, you are capable of anything.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"4.-god-of-war-3\">4. God of War 3</h2>\n\n<p><em>Hope is what makes us strong. It is why we are here. It is what we fight with when all else is lost.</em></p>\n\n<p>The God of War series is one of PlayStation's most successful exclusive franchises, and this gaming quote comes directly from Pandora as Kratos hears her words in a vision.</p>\n\n<p>Some people think that hope is worthless, but as long as we have hope, there will always be something to fight for even when times look dark. And as long as we have something to fight for, we have a reason to not give up and to persevere.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"5.-fallout-4\">5. Fallout 4</h2>\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/yBFJDXTwUao?start=124\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p><em>The thing about happiness is you only know you had it when it’s gone. I mean you may think to yourself that you’re happy. But you don’t really believe it. You focus on the petty bullshit, or the next job, or whatever. It’s only looking back, by comparison with what comes after, that you really understand that’s what happiness felt like.</em></p>\n\n<p>This gaming quote is so true. Taken from the Fallout series, a game about the world existing after a nuclear apocalypse, it can be hard to focus on what really matters sometimes.</p>\n\n<p>We often take for granted what we have in the present, and don't truly realise what we had until it is gone. We always strive to want more and more, never settling for what we currently have, and then when we no longer have it, we wish we could go back.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"6.-borderlands\">6. Borderlands</h2>\n\n<p><em>Everyone thinks they’re the hero of their own story.</em></p>\n\n<p>This line from the popular Borderlands Series by Handsome Jack can be taken two ways. Some may believe he is saying that everyone thinks the world revolves around them. But we believe it offers a more positive outlook.</p>\n\n<p>Whilst you may not be the hero in your story, you don't just have to be a character in someone else's story. Because we do all have our own stories to tell and they all matter.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"7.-metal-gear-solid-2:-sons-of-liberty\">7. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty</h2>\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/azHIWZxUgPY?start=317\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p><em>Life isn’t just about passing on your genes. We can leave behind much more than just DNA. Through speech, music, literature, and movies… what we’ve seen, heard, felt… anger, joy, and sorrow… these are the things I will pass on. That’s what I live for. We need to pass the torch, and let our children read our messy and sad history by its light. We have all the magic of the digital age to do that with. The human race will probably come to an end sometime, and new species may rule over this planet. Earth may not be forever, but we still have the responsibility to leave what traces of life we can. Building the future and keeping the past alive are one and the same thing.</em></p>\n\n<p>Considering it was released in 2002, Hideo Kojima's stealth masterpiece remains relevant even now. This quote actually happens at the end of the game when Snake is telling Raiden how to live his life, but in many ways, it's a direct message to the player as well.</p>\n\n<p>It's a powerful gaming quote that fits nicely with the previous one because it shows we all have a responsibility to tell stories and leave behind memories of the past.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"8.-half-life-2\">8. Half-Life 2</h2>\n\n<p><em>The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.</em></p>\n\n<p>Released in 2004, Half-Life 2 still remains one of the most critically-acclaimed titles of all time. Valve the team behind it created a literal masterpiece, but they could never follow it up despite cries from fans because they didn't think they could top what they had already produced.</p>\n\n<p>That was until they released the VR title Half-Life: Alyx, which has been dubbed the best VR game released. So we had to include a quote from this one, just to pay homage to the series.</p>\n\n<p>Things don't always go as planned, and that's ok. Sometimes the things that are unplanned actually end up being for the better. So if you ever feel like you're not in the right place, think again, because there is always something positive that can come from every experience.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"9.-the-elder-scrolls-v:-skyrim\">9. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim</h2>\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/mTRmAhu08pA?start=317\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p><em>I used to be an adventurer like you until I took an arrow to the knee.</em></p>\n\n<p>So this isn't here for any other reason that we couldn't leave it out. <strong>Funny gaming quotes are just as important as serious ones</strong>, and this is one of the most popular to come out of a video game.</p>\n\n<p>Released in 211, Bethesda's Skyrim is still played by millions today, and this quote is one reason that so many remember it fondly. Whilst the sentence itself may not be funny, it gave birth to so many memes and YouTube videos that brought joy to millions.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"10.-duke-nukem\">10. Duke Nukem</h2>\n\n<p><em>It’s time to kick ass and chew bubble gum…and I’m all outta gum.</em></p>\n\n<p>To finish off our list, we're sticking with gaming quotes that are funny to the masses, and this is an <em>absolute </em>classic which was originally released on PC in 1991. It tells us that Duke Nukem means business and it's a quote we all wish we could use ourselves at some point in our lives.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-variety-of-gaming\">The Variety of Gaming</h2>\n\n<p>As you can see, we've picked out several quotes from across different genres of video games, and that is not accidental.</p>\n\n<p>That's because no matter if you're into the simplest of casual games, or the most elaborate <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMO RPGs</a>, all games have some words of wisdom to offer - it's all a matter of perspective.</p>\n","date":"8/1/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Gaming quotes to remember","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/gaming-quotes-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14938"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/gifts-for-gamers/"},"strings":{"title":"The 10 Best Gifts for Gamers","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>It can often be difficult to select the right gifts for friends and family, let alone if they're gamers...

Since then, Gamescom has grown in size and stature.</p>\n\n<p>As well as exhibitors, it features panels, interactive events, and eSports competitions. In fact, as of 2018, Gamescom has been recognized as <a href=\"https://b2b.gamescom.global/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">the world’s largest gaming event</a>, when compared to others in terms of exhibition space and visitors.</p>\n\n<p>Today, 370,000 people flock to Germany every August to see over 1,000 exhibitors from more than 50 countries.</p>\n\n<h2>Where is Gamescom?</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"gamescom takes place in Cologne (Köln), Germany\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/gamescom-3.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>Gamescom has traditionally been held at Koelnmesse Exhibition Center in Cologne, Germany.</p>\n\n<p>However, with COVID-19 affecting live events across all sectors in 2020 and 2021, the organizer of Gamescom, Game – Verband der deutschen Games-Branche, was forced to adapt. 2020’s event took place entirely online.</p>\n\n<p>Then, with restrictions easing in 2021, a hybrid format was adopted. That meant parts of the trade show took place at Koelnmesse, while other parts of it played out online. Gamescom 2022 will also use the hybrid format.</p>\n\n<p>Look through the Gamescom 2022 schedule and you’ll see that there are live streams set up.</p>\n\n<p>These live streams will broadcast talks taking place inside the exhibition center, which means everyone, regardless of whether they’re attending in-person or online, can hear from some of the gaming industry’s most influential figures.</p>\n\n<p>As well as online streams, Gamescom also features community areas, cosplay, and interactive exhibits for those who visit Germany’s Koelnmesse Exhibition Center.</p>\n\n<p>Therefore, we can say that the online/live dynamic introduced in 2021 was successful and will likely continue for the foreseeable future.</p>\n\n<h2>What Are the Gamescom 2022 Dates?</h2>\n\n<p>This gaming convention typically takes place in August and the Gamescom 2022 dates don’t break from tradition. For those interested in buying a ticket (prices start at €25) or watching online, <strong>Gamescom 2022 will run from 23rd August to 28th August.</strong></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><img alt=\"Merch at gamescom\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/gamescom-4.webp\" /></strong></p>\n\n<h2>Why Should You Visit Gamescom?</h2>\n\n<p>To give you an idea of why Gamescom is popular with gamers, we only have to look at this year’s line-up of exhibits and events:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The opening night will be hosted by gaming journalist and presenter, Geoff Keighley.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Live talks and panel (will be streamed)</strong></li>\n\t<li><strong>Gamescom EPIX</strong> – A social game where participants have to solve puzzles and complete tasks to unlock tools and features. These tools and futures can be used to stop a mystery virus infecting the show’s Electronic Protective Intelligence (EPI) system. Stop the virus and you can earn rewards that can be used at Gamescom.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Community Areas</strong> – visit one of the seven different areas throughout the trade fair:\n\t<ul>\n\t\t<li>The Entertainment Area is where you can play the latest games, including <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPG games</a>, as well as titles that are yet to be released.</li>\n\t\t<li>The Merchandise Area is where you can buy all types of gaming equipment, memorabilia and clothing.</li>\n\t\t<li>The Retro Area is where you can find over 200 classic arcade machines, home computers, handheld gaming devices, and automats.</li>\n\t\t<li>The Indie Area is where you can learn about and play the latest games, including <a href=\"/en/games/genre/action-games/\">action games</a>, from independent developers from around the world.</li>\n\t\t<li>The Gamescom Campus where you can talk to companies about career and training opportunities within the gaming industry.</li>\n\t\t<li>The Family and Friends Arena is where you can meet up with people, relax, or engage in some friendly competitions.</li>\n\t\t<li>The Cosplay Village is where you can embrace your creative side and hang out with other people who enjoy dressing up as popular characters from the worlds of gaming and sci-fi movies. As well as dressing up and hanging out, according to the organizers, the Cosplay Village will host music acts, live shows, artwork and much more.</li>\n\t</ul>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>Plenty of Fun for All at Gamescom 2022</h2>\n\n<p>As you can see from the Gamescom 2022 schedule, there are plenty of things to keep you entertained over the course of six days. Alongside the scheduled talks, opportunities to play games, and stage shows, Gamescom 2022 will feature hundreds of exhibitors.</p>\n\n<p>Basically, if it’s happening in the world of gaming, you’ll be able to find out about it at Gamescom. What’s more, you’ll be able to get an insight into what the future of video gaming will be.</p>\n\n<p>You can scroll through the list of exhibitors attending Gamescom 2022 and you’ll see companies from all over the world, including HandyGames, SEGA, THQ Nordic, and Bandai Namco Entertainment.</p>\n\n<p>Three major players in the gaming industry that won’t be attending Gamescom 2022 are Nintendo, <a href=\"https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/playstation-will-be-avoiding-gamescom-2022-3253159\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">PlayStation</a>, and Activision. That’s a blow to the event’s organizers, not least because PlayStation has traditionally been one of the biggest exhibitors.</p>\n\n<p>Other than public statements confirming they won’t be part of the Gamescom 2022 schedule, Nintendo, PlayStation, and Activision haven’t said why they’re not attending. The good news, however, is that the line-up of exhibitors and events is still strong.</p>\n\n<p>Maybe it’s not as strong as it would have been had PlayStation et al attended.</p>\n\n<p>However, with plenty of talks, interactive experiences, and, of course, the Cosplay Village keeping people entertained, <strong>it looks like Gamescom 2022 will be another hugely successful event.</strong></p>\n","date":"7/28/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"gamescom 2022 is going to be wild!","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/gamescom-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14919"}}],"listArticles":[{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/tv-shows-video-games/"},"strings":{"title":"TV Shows Based on Video Games – The Ultimate Guide"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"What TV shows are based on video games?","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/tv-shows-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16286"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/top-casual-games/"},"strings":{"title":"10 of the Best Casual Games to Try in 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The top 10 casual games of 2023","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/casual-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16219"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/top-castle-games/"},"strings":{"title":"Five of the Best: Top Castle Games for 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Check out the top Castle Games!","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/castle-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16214"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/windows-games-on-mac/"},"strings":{"title":"How to Play Windows Games on Mac: A Complete Guide"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"How to play Windows games on Mac","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/windows-games-mac-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16213"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/best-puzzle-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Best Puzzle Games for Adults in 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The 15 best puzzle games to play in 2023!","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/puzzle-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16206"}}]},"components":{}}},{"name":"widget-articles-aside-promoted-game-v3","type":"widget-articles-aside-promoted-game-v3","model":{"links":{"url":"/en/plarium-play/download-user/?plid=885739&pxl=seo&appId=27","urlForGamePage":"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/","googlePlayUrl":"https://app.appsflyer.com/com.plarium.raidlegends?pid=SEO&c=749089","appStoreUrl":"https://app.appsflyer.com/id1371565796?pid=SEO&c=749088&af_siteid=HomePage"},"strings":{"title":"RAID: Shadow Legends","subtitle":"Collect 700+ 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-articles-subscribe-v3","type":"widget-articles-subscribe-v3","model":{"links":{},"strings":{"title":"Subscribe to the Blog","errorInvalid":"Invalid email address.

The tasks you must complete will vary depending on the stealth games you’re playing.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>However, since console and PC stealth games are part of the larger <a href=\"/en/games/genre/war-games/\">war games</a> genre, the tasks usually involve some sort of battle.</p>\n\n<p>Of course, this isn’t always the case. We can <a href=\"https://g.co/kgs/DYWZyz\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">go back to the 1980s</a> and Pac-Man to see how stealth is used in other genres. How is Pac-Man a stealth game?</p>\n\n<p>Simple: you’re trying to avoid capture while eating yellow dots and pieces of fruit. All good stealth games have the fundamental dynamic of trying to achieve a goal without getting caught at their core.</p>\n\n<p>For the purposes of this guide to the best stealth games PC and console users can play, we’re going to focus on titles that go beyond the basics. In other words, the following list of good stealth games doesn’t only feature elements of the genre.</p>\n\n<p>Instead, they’re stealth <a href=\"/en/games/\">video games</a> through and through. <strong>That means the aim of the game is to avoid detection and defeat the enemy.</strong></p>\n\n<h2>What is the Most Popular Stealth Game?</h2>\n\n<p>Like with any other attempt at defining a game, defining the best stealth games isn’t easy. That is because, even though it’s a genre, there are many parts to it.</p>\n\n<p>For example, the best <em>PC </em>stealth games might not necessarily be as engaging on a <em>console </em>such as the PlayStation. Similarly, some people might enjoy war-themed stealth games, while others prefer ones that focus on espionage.</p>\n\n<p>So, while it’s true that most good stealth games are always good stealth games, no matter the platform, we need to be a little more nuanced in the way we rate them.</p>\n\n<p>With this in mind, the <strong>following stealth games have all been picked because they stand out for a specific reason.</strong></p>\n\n<h3>The of Best of All Stealth Games - Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain</h3>\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/RhseWPWYPBA\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The Metal Gear Solid franchise is almost unparalleled when it comes to stealth games. The main reason this franchise and, specifically, The Phantom Pain shine is because the way you win is only really limited by your imagination.</p>\n\n<p>This is a true stealth game in the sense that you can roam freely and, in turn, devise your own attacks and escapes.</p>\n\n<p>For example, in The Phantom Pain, you can come up with a ruse to recruit helpers and take on the enemy. You can sit in the bushes with a sniper and blast your foes from miles away.</p>\n\n<p>You can even let your horse leave its mark on the ground so the jeeps pursuing you slip and slide (yes, we mean horse feces). Very few top-rated <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy games</a> give you as much freedom and creativity as Metal Gear Solid 5, which is why it’s regarded as one of the best stealth games there.</p>\n\n<h3>The Best Story - The Last of Us Part II</h3>\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/vhII1qlcZ4E\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Players tend to focus on mechanics and missions when it comes to console and PC stealth games. These things are important, but they’re not the only dynamics that make a game great.</p>\n\n<p>The Last of Us 2 is one of the top stealth games PC and console users can play thanks to its storyline. You get to take control of Ellie, a woman out for revenge after a tragedy, or Abby, a soldier trying to eradicate a religious cult.</p>\n\n<p>Whichever story you choose, there’s a real sense of drama. The post-apocalyptic world sets the tone, but it’s the facial expressions of the characters and accompanying dialogue that give this game a human element like no other.</p>\n\n<p>If you’re a fan of stealth games and want something that will pull you in like a Hollywood movie, The Last of Us Part II is perfect.</p>\n\n<h3>The Best Stealth Game for Creativity - Hitman 3</h3>\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/Z29ORu6_p34\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The Hitman series has been a hit (pardon the pun) for more than two decades. The original game introduced us to Agent 47 and his unique ability to merge into his surroundings and take out the bad guys almost undetected.</p>\n\n<p>Hitman 3 is the final installment of the World of Assassin trilogy. It brings the story arch to a conclusion, which means you’re fighting to eliminate the secret organization known as Providence.</p>\n\n<p>What separates Hitman 3 from other console and PC stealth games is the ways you can avoid detection. Although there is some element of sneaking around in the shadows and hiding behind walls, Hitman 3 is more about finding creative ways to go about your business.</p>\n\n<p>This means donning disguises and assuming different personas to infiltrate the enemy. That’s what separates it from the pack and makes it one of the best stealth games out there.</p>\n\n<h3>The Most Fun Stealth Game - Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time</h3>\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/_Oso_6Xwy0E\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Not all stealth games have to be serious. Sly Cooper is aimed at younger gamers or those that want a more fantastical type of adventure. Your job is to take control of Sly Cooper, a raccoon descended from a long line of master thieves.</p>\n\n<p>As well as taking Sly on a mission through an animated world filled with human-like animals, you’ll also have control of his family and friends.</p>\n\n<p>In essence, you’re trying to reunite the gang of thieves so they can work in unison to repair the legendary book, Thievius Raccoonus. This dynamic, combined with the cartoon-like styling, makes Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time extremely entertaining and definitely one of the most enjoyable stealth video games ever.</p>\n\n<h3>The Best Stealth Mechanics - Dishonored 2</h3>\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/7bLNC8VDTlQ\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>The follow up to the hit stealth game Dishonored, this Arkane Studios creation sees you reprise the role of supernatural assassins, Emily or her father Corvo Attano. You can play as either character.</p>\n\n<p>What’s more, they each have their own set of skills which make the battle sequences extremely engaging. Whoever you play as, the goal is always the same: reclaim the throne.</p>\n\n<p>Of all the stealth games on PC and console, Dishonored 2 is among the best thanks to its mechanics. It’s nonlinear, which means you can jump backwards and forwards in time.</p>\n\n<p>This not only keeps things interesting after multiple plays, it means you can complete missions in a variety of different ways. Add to this a world-building element and creative ways to avoid detection and Dishonored 2 is right up there with the best stealth games in history.</p>\n\n<h2>Go Undercover and Play Stealth Video Games</h2>\n\n<p>So, here we are with five of the best stealth games ever released.</p>\n\n<p>No matter if you want to hide in the shadows and strangle unsuspecting criminals or journey through time, you’ve got plenty of ways to go undercover and have fun with the leading stealth games.</p>\n","date":"8/23/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The top stealth games to play right now","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/stealth-games-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14953"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/games-play-friends-phone/"},"strings":{"title":"5 Games to Play with Friends on Your Phone","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"420000","description":"<p>Today, we are at a point in history where the quality of mobile games is beginning to rival that of consoles, and in certain regards might even be better.</p>\n\n<p>Obviously, our games can also be mentioned here as some of the most fun to play on your phone with new and old friends alike. To do that, all you need to do is click below and see for yourself:</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>These days, you don’t have to crowd around a game with poor blocky graphics and limited gameplay anymore. Instead, you can choose from a range of fast-paced shooters to engaging puzzle and board games.</p>\n\n<p>lThere are numerous games to play with friends on the phone, in various types and genres.</p>\n\n<p>From classic console games like Mario Kart, to board games like Monopoly - there is definitely no lack in choice. Check out our favorites listed here:</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"among-us\">Among Us</h2>\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/NSJ4cESNQfE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>You may have seen the cute, colorful characters from Among Us in stores across the globe. The game went viral after a push by YouTubers and streaming gamers, and a range of plush merchandise and ties-in products soon followed.</p>\n\n<p>Yet all the hype is well and truly deserved as it is one of the most interesting group games to play with friends on the phone.</p>\n\n<p>Developed by studio Innersloth studios, it is a game of social deduction. You are all astronauts on a ship, most of who are crew mates but some of which are chosen as hidden imposters.</p>\n\n<p>A list of tasks is assigned to each player which must be completed, though imposters cannot perform tasks and must try to blend in. Imposters win by sabotaging a critical system or killing the crew members. Crew members win by completing all their tasks or finding all the imposters.</p>\n\n<p><strong>One of the great things about Among Us is that you can play it with up to 15 players</strong>, so you can get a huge party going. It is also great fun, especially as you get to see what goes on in the minds of your friends, who can turn out to be quite good liars.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"mario-kart-tour\">Mario Kart Tour</h2>\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/gx7rIVeBuW0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p><strong>Mario Kart is arguably the greatest party game of all time.</strong> There is no satisfaction quite like sending your best friend hurtling off the edge of Rainbow Road. It stands to reason that a mobile version would arrive, and it does everything you would expect plus more.</p>\n\n<p>For anyone who does not know Mario Kart, it is Nintendo's flagship racing game. You take the place of one of the gaming company's characters and drive a small kart around a track, hoping to claim the first position.</p>\n\n<p>On your way, you encounter winding courses, obstacles, and other players with tricks and gadgets who will try to send you to the back.</p>\n\n<p>Games to play with friends on your phone don’t come much simpler either as all you need is Bluetooth and to be together in the same location. It allows you to play with up to 7 friends.</p>\n\n<p>As Mario Kart usually only appears on Nintendo consoles it is a great way to access it if you don’t have a Switch, and best of all, it is free.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"spaceteam\">Spaceteam</h2>\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Did you know that <a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/SpaceteamVR?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SpaceteamVR</a> features crossplay between different platforms and VR hardware? You can even have your friends and family join a local game on their mobile devices. Our short video runs through the ways to set up and join a game. <a href=\"https://t.co/iuDMMWp3Z0\">pic.twitter.com/iuDMMWp3Z0</a></p>\n— Spaceteam VR (@SpaceteamVR) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/SpaceteamVR/status/1336143537910505472?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 8, 2020</a></blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"></script>\n\n<p><strong>Spaceteam is one of the most fun phone games to play with friends</strong> on the list and not something that can be played quietly. It has now been around for about 10 years but remains fairly unknown.</p>\n\n<p>Each player is part of a space crew and will have a screen filled with words and commands known as technobabble. Players are told what command needs to be completed to save their spaceship and they must verbally tell their teammates what that is.</p>\n\n<p>Teammates must then search and see if the command is on their device. While this sounds simple, mislabeled instruments and requested actions inevitably end up in a lot of shouting.</p>\n\n<p>This can take place with two to eight players, and the more you have the harder, but more fun, it gets. All you need is a phone and Bluetooth connectivity to access one of the funniest games to play with friends on the phone.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"pubg-mobile\">PUBG Mobile</h2>\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/uCd6tbUAy6o\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>In the last few years <a href=\"/en/blog/battle-royale/\">battle royale games</a> have grown in popularity. They involve players being dropped onto a map, where they must scavenge the land, pick up weapons and items, fighting until only one remains.</p>\n\n<p>While there are many different types, Player Unknown Battlegrounds (PUBG) is the original title that made the genre so popular.</p>\n\n<p>It makes sense that a mobile-only game was released, and it has provided as popular as its PC and console counterparts. Whole Esports tournaments are now taking place with the title. All you need to do is add your friends to your list and then invite them to play a game together.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"words-with-friends-2\">Words With Friends 2</h2>\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/dwHNYb16L9Q\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Words with Friends is a much more cerebral affair than other games on the list, taking the concept of the classic word game Scrabble and transporting it to mobile devices (making it an additional <a href=\"/en/games/platform/mobile-games/\">mobile game</a>, meaning it would still be available on other platforms as well).</p>\n\n<p>It uses push notifications and lets you play up to 40 games at once, so you can have slow games, answer whenever you and a friend like, or sit around a table and go head-to-head.</p>\n\n<p>For anyone new to the game, you and the other players all have a series of tiles that contain letters. You must make a word on the board, placing characters in the designated spaces for bonuses and piggybacking off letters and words others have placed.</p>\n\n<p>Each letter has a score based on how hard it is to use.

New games are coming out every day across all platforms, with each one playing into a different genre.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>So many developers have toyed with the essence of video game genres in the past and present that now, hundreds of game genres exist.</p>\n\n<p>As there are so many interweaving categories of games, we’ve refined the focus. Here, we’ll introduce you to the biggest, most popular, and most novel video game genres in existence. Variety is the spice of life, after all.</p>\n\n<p>Hopefully, this breakdown will help you find the types of video games that will entertain you the most.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"action-games\">Action Games</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Action, Robot and Shooter Games are among the most popular video game genres over the last few years\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/video-game-genres-2.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p><strong>Of all the video game genres, action has to be one of the most diverse.</strong></p>\n\n<p>In these types of video games, you control the action and are often posed with reactionary or physical obstacles.</p>\n\n<p>So, you could need to defeat your rival in a fighting game, shoot your way out of an airport, sneak around a crypt, or even speed run across a side-scrolling screen filled with foes.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"adventure-games\">Adventure Games</h2>\n\n<p><strong>Adventure games are the quintessential hero story games</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>These stand out among other similar video game genres by not focussing so much on combat or confrontation. Instead, you’re tasked with exploring and unlocking the secrets of an overarching story and the environment.</p>\n\n<p>You’ll almost certainly need to battle at some point, but the more important combat scenes often come down to puzzle-solving.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"castle-games\">Castle Games</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Castle games are another recent favorite video game genre\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/video-game-genres-3.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>The chances are that you’ll find castle games dotted around several game genres, from strategic defense games to casual castle builders. To stand on its own amongst other video game genres,<strong> a castle game needs to emphasize your place on the throne.</strong></p>\n\n<p>From there, you build within your castle, establish trade routes, and, importantly, upgrade its defenses.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"casual-games\">Casual Games</h2>\n\n<p><strong>There are many categories of games within the casual games banner </strong>of video game genres. However, they’re all connected by easygoing gameplay, simple controls, and a clear-cut progression system.</p>\n\n<p>Many will offer you a bit of free roam to go about the game as you please, while others will have one direction.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"match-3-games\">Match 3 Games</h2>\n\n<p>A classic form of puzzler that’s gone mainstream, <strong>Match 3 games have become so popular that they’re now considered among the biggest video game genres</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>Mobile is the main home for match 3 games now, with the touch-screen controls making the puzzles even more enjoyable to complete.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"medieval-games\">Medieval Games</h2>\n\n<p>Some of the leading video game genres lean heavily into a theme and all of its associated environments. This is the case for medieval games, which can see you playing in the old days of swords, shields, firing bows on horseback, and battles in the field.</p>\n\n<p><strong>With castles and maybe an infusion of fantasy, medieval games are always a huge draw.</strong></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"mmo-games\">MMO Games</h2>\n\n<p><strong>Massively multiplayer online games have been popular since online gaming became a thing</strong>. There are now many video game genres that owe their existence to the MMO game trailblazers.</p>\n\n<p>MMO games span a great many sub-genres, with the combining element being that they’re played online by a huge number of people at any one time.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"/en/blog/battle-royale/\">Battle royale titles</a> are one of the more recent types of video games to come under the MMO umbrella.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"mmorpg-games\">MMORPG Games</h2>\n\n<p>MMORPG games are, essentially, one of the categories of games under MMO. They’re massively multiplayer online games, but the game itself is strictly a role-playing game – or RPG.</p>\n\n<p><strong>As far as video game genres span, MMORPG is rather distinct, </strong>with it needing to infuse the common elements of an RPG into an online game that hosts hundreds, even thousands, of players at once.</p>\n\n<p>It creates a role-playing world of its own.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"multiplayer-games\">Multiplayer Games</h2>\n\n<p><strong>Multiplayer games don’t have to be as expansive as other video game genres that rely on an internet connection</strong>. MMOs require a massive audience, while a multiplayer game could just host standalone games between ten, four, or even just two players.</p>\n\n<p>You could find yourself in a 1v1 fighting multiplayer game, or embark on a space odyssey with four others in a multiplayer survival game.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"puzzle-games\">Puzzle Games</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Often overlooked, puzzles are probably one of the oldest and most beloved videogame genre\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/video-game-genres-4.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p><strong>There’s an argument to be made for many video game genres actually being puzzle games.</strong> For this list of video game genres, we’ll consider puzzle games to be those that take on the puzzle aesthetic.</p>\n\n<p>So, you need to work out ways to move a set board or within a setting to make it to the end, with that puzzle resetting when you restart if you fail.</p>\n\n<p>Puzzle games are often the ones that people who want to solve a more intellectual challenge rather than a gaming-skill-driven one take up.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"pvp-games\">PvP Games</h2>\n\n<p>When the game’s programming simply isn’t challenging enough, it’s time to throw down in the unpredictable field of PvP.</p>\n\n<p><strong>PvP games can come in the form of many other video game genres, but all of them put you online against another human player to compete.</strong></p>\n\n<p>PvP – or “player versus player” – games could see you face one other player to battle your teams of fantasy creatures, or you and a bunch of others battle another group in a lane game.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"robot-games\">Robot Games</h2>\n\n<p><strong>Robot games are continuing to be increasingly popular</strong>, which is another reason we decided to include them in our list. Like many other genres, robot games can fit into several game genres.</p>\n\n<p>However, as they usually task you with playing as robots, there’s almost always a sci-fi theme.</p>\n\n<p>As for more general genres, robot games can often be found as strategy or action titles.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"rpg-games\">RPG Games</h2>\n\n<p><strong>Perhaps the biggest of all video game genres, role-playing games continue to be huge sellers.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Drawing from the classic tabletop RPGs, they put you in the protagonist's role. From there, you need to explore the world, complete quests, find items, craft, upgrade, build, fight, and get to the end of one or several story threads.</p>\n\n<p>Core to RPG games is the leveling up system through experience points, as well as the decision-making mechanics.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"shooters\">Shooters</h2>\n\n<p><strong>If you’ve got a gun in front of your character, you’re playing a shooter.</strong> At a time, shooting games were one of the video game genres under action.</p>\n\n<p>However, the format – particularly of first-person shooters – became so dominant that shooting games became their own genre.</p>\n\n<p>While the themes vary greatly, mostly, you’ll be playing from the character’s point of view, aiming down the sights to kill whatever’s in your path.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"solitaire-games\">Solitaire Games</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"No list of video game genres is complete without solitaire\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/video-game-genres-5.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>Who would have thought that with all of the technological innovations across video game genres that solitaire would still be a hugely popular game?</p>\n\n<p>Available both offline with a physical stack of cards, or as more complex, visually compelling games,<strong> solitaire games are so accessible and well-known that anyone can enjoy them with ease.</strong></p>\n\n<p>This also makes solitaire one of the most beloved card games and video games worldwide.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"strategy-games\">Strategy Games</h2>\n\n<p><strong>Many video game genres have a bunch of sub-categories, but strategy games only really have two.</strong></p>\n\n<p>There are turn-based strategy games where you move and then wait for all other players or factions to make their moves in order.</p>\n\n<p>Or, there are real-time strategy games in which you need to adjust your tactics and plans in the moment of what is usually a battle.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"survival-games\">Survival Games</h2>\n\n<p>Usually invoking elements of RPG and adventure games, <strong>survival games have become super hot in recent years.</strong></p>\n\n<p>Your task: survive. It’s one of the more simple ways to describe video game genres, but that is the premise of each. The usual setup is that you’re dropped into an increasingly hostile environment with little more than the basics and your bare hands.</p>\n\n<p>You need to then find somewhere to set up, harvest resources, craft tools, build defenses, and explore the world around you.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"war-games\">War Games</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"War games are among the most popular action video game genres\" src=\"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/video-game-genres-56.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p><strong>Of all video game genres, few have the same draw as war games</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>Whether they take place in the 1940s, medieval era, or at some undetermined time in the future, war games invoke action and strategy to conquer all those in your path.</p>\n\n<p>There are many PvP and real-time strategy war games, but they really made their name in the space of turn-based strategy and first-person shooters.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"questions-from-around-the-web\">Questions From Around the Web</h2>\n\n<h3 id=\"how-many-genres-are-there-in-video-games?\">How many genres are there in video games?</h3>\n\n<p>Including all the sub-genres, fringe genres, and fusion genres, there are easily over 100 video game genres for you to play and explore. Many titles fit into a couple of video game genres, allowing you to get the best aspects from both and enjoy an infused experience.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"what-are-popular-game-genres?\">What are popular game genres?</h3>\n\n<p>Right now, the list of popular video game genres includes shooter games, action games, adventure games, action-adventure games, role-playing games, MMORPGs, sports simulation games, racing games, battle royale games, and casual games. Of course, within each of those video game genres, there’ll be popular sub-genres, too.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"what-are-the-top-five-video-game-genres?\">What are the top five video game genres?</h3>\n\n<p>The top five most <em>popular </em>video game genres right now are:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Action Games (including FPS, Fighting, and Platformers)</li>\n\t<li>Adventure Games (including Action-Adventure titles)</li>\n\t<li>Role-Playing Games (including MMORPGs)</li>\n\t<li>Strategy Games (including RTS and TBS)</li>\n\t<li>Simulation Games (including Sports, Life, and Management Sims)</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h3 id=\"what-genre-is-gta?\">What genre is GTA?</h3>\n\n<p>Technically speaking, Grand Theft Auto is listed as an action-adventure game. Having said that, however, GTA V could just as easily fit into the video game genres of shooting games, racing games, crime games, multiplayer games, and open-world games.</p>\n\n<p>This is why the games boast such a massive amount of appeal to the gaming community.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"a-plethora-of-options\">A Plethora of Options</h2>\n\n<p>So, there you have it, our list of the top video game genres currently ruling the gaming industry. </p>\n\n<p>As previously mentioned, there are, in fact, <em>hundreds </em>of video game genres these days, but our list only includes the leading ones in terms of popularity and players. </p>\n\n<p>What's your favorite?</p>\n","date":"8/11/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Video game genres","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/video-game-genres-v2.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14951"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/popular-games-right-now/"},"strings":{"title":"The 10 Most Popular Games Right Now","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>The gaming industry moves at a pace of its own - and a very fast one at that!

Because of this, the following list of games comes from a <em>variety </em>of sources.</p>\n\n<p>There are games that have sold millions of copies in 2022. There are perennial favorites that remain a draw, and there are games that get a constant stream of monthly users.</p>\n\n<p>Basically, we didn’t just want to use monthly active users as a metric. It’s an important metric, but it’s not the <em>only </em>one that’s important when it comes to ranking the most popular games right now. That’s why you’ll find a nice mix of options below.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-10-most-popular-games-right-now\">The 10 Most Popular Games Right Now</h2>\n\n<h3 id=\"minecraft\">Minecraft</h3>\n\n<p>The long-time hit from Mojang Studios continues to pull big numbers. The open-world sandbox game was released in 2011 and, due to the fact it’s a constantly evolving entity, it remains popular today. As of 2021, Minecraft had sold over 235M copies and over 700M registered users.</p>\n\n<p>In 2022, this game is still attracting over 140M monthly active users.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"fortnite\">Fortnite</h3>\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/VdcLGaiHgEY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Fortnite has been one of the most popular games online since its release in 2017. Regardless of whether players are locked in battle royales, trying to survive, or fighting in tower-defense mode, the point is they’re playing.</p>\n\n<p>With over 62K positive votes on Ranker in 2022 and 80M monthly active users, Fortnite remains one of the most popular games right now.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"fall-guys\">Fall Guys</h3>\n\n<p>This <a href=\"/en/blog/battle-royale/\">battle royale</a> game from Mediatonic and Epic Games continues to impress. One of the main reasons Fall Guys is one of the most popular games right now is the fact it’s free to play.</p>\n\n<p>The publishing rights were transferred to Epic Games in 2021 and, since June 2022, it’s been free to play. What’s more, Epic Games has made it available on more platforms, including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox One, a move that has increased its popularity.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"league-of-legends\">League of Legends</h3>\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/mDYqT0_9VR4\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Who said the multiplayer online battle arena (<a href=\"/en/blog/moba-games-guide/\">MOBA</a>) genre was dead? Although MOBA may have lost some of its popularity to the battle royale genre (due to Fortnite), it still remains a hit.</p>\n\n<p>Why? Because players still love League of Legends. Aside from being the definitive name in strategy-based battle games, League of Legends is still pulling in <a href=\"https://leaguefeed.net/did-you-know-total-league-of-legends-player-count-updated/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">over 100M active users every month</a>.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"playerunknown's-battlegrounds\">PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds</h3>\n\n<p>PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is one of the most popular games right now and it probably will be for a long time.</p>\n\n<p>It has over 1.2B users (that's right, over <strong>1 billion</strong>), and even though the number of peak concurrent users is significantly less than 1.2 billion (it’s just under 700M in 2022), it’s still a hit thanks to its ongoing updates and drops.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"crossfire\">CrossFire</h3>\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/fOC9bmY4dB8\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>CrossFire might not be as well known in the west, but it’s a big deal in the East. Specifically, this Counter-Strike clone from Smilegate Entertainment is a huge hit in Korea.</p>\n\n<p>With 8 million concurrent players at peak times, it’s already one of the most popular games right now. However, its popularity is only going to increase thanks to a deal in 2021 that made it exclusively available on all Microsoft platforms.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"roblox\">Roblox</h3>\n\n<p>Though not technically a game, Roblox has been around since 2006, and it’s still one of the most played game platforms right now. What’s interesting about Roblox is the culture that surrounds it.</p>\n\n<p>Because users can program games and, in turn, make them available to other players, there’s a hardcore community out there. This has helped Roblox remain popular not as one game, but as a source of viewing entertainment on Twitch and YouTube.</p>\n\n<p>Even today, the game platform gets 1 million concurrent players at peak times with ease.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"lost-ark\">Lost Ark</h3>\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/PmUNt90j42w\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>Lost Ark is one of the most popular games right now due to the fact it can still attract over 800K concurrent users at peak times. That’s impressive for a few reasons.</p>\n\n<p>Firstly, this <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPG</a> was only released in 2022. Secondly, it hasn’t lost its initial appeal like rival MMORPGs. Like New World, Lost Ark attracted over 1M active users at peak times in its first month.</p>\n\n<p>New World has lost momentum, but Lost Ark continues to attract strong numbers.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"counter-strike:-global-offensive\">Counter-Strike: Global Offensive</h3>\n\n<p>CS:GO is one of the most consistent performers out there. We could choose almost any year since its release in 2012 and this <a href=\"/en/games/genre/shooting-games/\">first-person shooter</a> would be among the most popular games.</p>\n\n<p>This is still true today. CS:GO is one of the most popular games right now because it attracts 1 million concurrent users at peak times. Add to this more than 24M monthly active users and it really is one of the most popular games right now and, in all likelihood, will continue to be for a long time.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"valorant\">Valorant</h3>\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/e7VOQ1l20eo\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p>This 5v5 character-based tactical FPS from Riot Games has gradually increased in popularity over the last few years. Initially released for PC and consoles in 2020, Riot Games announced in 2021 that a mobile version would be coming soon as a result of continued demand.</p>\n\n<p>That demand is clear for all to see. It currently has over 14M active monthly users and anything involving Valorant draws big numbers on Twitch.</p>\n\n<p>For example, when Michael ‘shroud’ Grzesiek played his first official match for Sentinels on the Valorant Champions Tour, peak viewership topped 600K. This alone makes Valorant one of the most popular games right now.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"play-the-most-popular-games-right-now\">Play the Most Popular Games Right Now</h2>\n\n<p>That’s 10 of the most popular games right now. As you can see, no genre has a monopoly right now.</p>\n\n<p>It’s clear that players love shooters in all their various forms, but that’s not the only type of game that’s piquing people’s interests. That’s great news for gamers that like to go outside of their comfort zone and try something <em>different</em>.</p>\n\n<p>With this in mind, take your time to go back through our list of most popular games right now and play something new, or revisit some old favorites.</p>\n","date":"8/9/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"What are the most popular games right now?","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/popular-games-now-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14946"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/play-to-earn/"},"strings":{"title":"Is Play to Earn Still “the Future” of Gaming?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>Mid-to-late 2021 and early 2022 forced so many money-making, reality-changing ideas into the mainstream. In the middle of the year, celebrities were buying and boasting about their multi-million Bored Ape Yacht Club digital art NFTs.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>At the end of October, Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the new company name, Meta, and his plans to introduce the world to the digital space dubbed the “Metaverse.” Bubbling up during this time, play to earn games based on NFTs, cryptocurrencies, and blockchains gathered players.</p>\n\n<p>It wasn’t long before the craze of mainstream headlines covering “crypto millionaires” reached the early movers in the play to earn space. By 2021, the number of active blockchain games doubled. However, play to earn looks to have hit a wall.</p>\n\n<p>Headlines of collapsing games, values, and players swarm the industry. At the same time, underpinning crypto values have tumbled significantly. So, we ask if there’s a future for the play to earn model in the gaming industry now that the dust has settled.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-play-to-earn-in-gaming?\">What Is Play to Earn in Gaming?</h2>\n\n<p>You’ll be familiar with the “play to win”, a phrase that players slap onto titles that aren’t skill-based, unlike game genres such as <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPGs</a>.</p>\n\n<p>In these, the way that the in-game markets are set up, players need to pay more to get better and can then win more multiplayer matchups.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Play to earn games and nft gaming\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/play2earn-2.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>“Play to earn” was coined as a positive flip on this much-maligned business model. To understand how play to earn works, you need to know a few more technical terms, which we’ll go through here:</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"what-are-nfts?\">What are NFTs?</h3>\n\n<p><strong>NFTs are <a href=\"/en/blog/nft-gaming/\">“non-fungible tokens.”</a> </strong>These are digital files that can guarantee a set scarcity and ownership by being on a blockchain. So, an item created as an NFT on a blockchain will have some form of identification.</p>\n\n<p>It is also tracked across the blockchain with each transaction to guarantee ownership. It essentially allows for digital creators to maintain value, scarcity, and ownership in creation and discount any attempts to sell fakes.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"what-is-blockchain-gaming?\">What is Blockchain Gaming?</h3>\n\n<p>Blockchain gaming is a new form of gaming that sees developers build their gaming software with blockchain integration. This allows them to then create NFTs and allow for the use of cryptocurrency purchases and withdrawals.</p>\n\n<p>The core technology of the blockchain is essential to the game’s economy, marketplace, and trust in the game itself. Blockchain gaming allows for play to earn crypto games to exist.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"what-are-play-to-earn-games?\">What Are Play to Earn Games?</h3>\n\n<p>Play to earn games are games that are built on a blockchain and allow for the earning of NFTs, which can then be sold in exchange for cryptocurrencies on the game’s market with other players. The cryptocurrency earned through the sale can then be withdrawn from the game.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"Blockchain games and play to earn games\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/play2earn-3.webp\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"a-great-concept-on-its-face\">A Great Concept on Its Face</h2>\n\n<p>With cryptocurrencies going mainstream – even if not for their intended purposes of replacing fiat currencies – playing to earn crypto games that allow you to get coins seemed like a grand idea. With the idea of NFTs also gaining traction, existing play to earn titles skyrocketed in popularity.</p>\n\n<p>In the final four months of 2020, <strong>the total market cap for NFTs climbed to upwards of $7 billion from around $60 million</strong>. With so much money already being spent on NFT art and games, just about every major company wanted in on the action.</p>\n\n<p>For gaming, it seemed like a natural pivot. Given the number of titles that offer in-game transactions for digital items that then can’t be redeemed for real money or get outdated with the next edition of the franchise, players warmed to the idea.</p>\n\n<p>Now, in theory, players could recoup some of their grind time by selling items to other players for <em>real money.</em></p>\n\n<h2>A Great Collapse of Play-to-Earn Gaming</h2>\n\n<p>Play to earn games enjoyed a strong spell in the spotlight, but as they’re inherently tied to crypto markets, their days in the sun were always numbered. After the summer 2022 crypto crash,<strong> NFT sales plummeted to a mere $1 billion – down $11.6 billion six months prior.</strong></p>\n\n<p>It wasn’t just a collapse of crypto and associated markets, though. Many leading play to earn crypto games have faded in popularity. Then, existing gaming companies trying to introduce NFTs missed the mark significantly.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"The collapse of play to earn gaming\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/play2earn-4.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>The fan backlash against games like <a href=\"https://www.eurogamer.net/tom-clancys-ghost-recon-breakpoint-review-a-limp-and-lifeless-spin-on-the-ubisoft-formula\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint</a> bringing in NFTs was colossal, resulting in many other companies walking back on their plans. It's important to note this wasn't the case with all <a href=\"/en/games/genre/strategy-games/\">strategy games</a> at the time, but only the ones promoting NFTs in such a manner.</p>\n\n<p>Axie Infinity was bleeding players through the start of 2022. The face of play to earn gaming then got hit by a $600 million hack. By <strong>June 2022, the play to earn the title was deemed to have a “completely collapsed” economy.</strong></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-inherent-flaws-of-play-to-earn-and-nft-gaming\">The Inherent Flaws of Play To Earn and NFT Gaming</h2>\n\n<p>Play to earn games are inherently flawed in the concept being applied to the modern gaming industry. For a play to earn ecosystem to work:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The game needs to remain popular indefinitely.</li>\n\t<li>It needs to host thousands of regular players.</li>\n\t<li>Accessibility for newcomers is essential.</li>\n\t<li>Past and future digital assets need to hold or offer more value.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>You will know that there are only a handful of online games that remain perpetually popular. This is mostly through a rigorous update system and seasons.</p>\n\n<p>Still, how many people do you know who have only played the one game since launch for years on end? The games industry is built on driving players to the next release. Another issue with play to earn and NFT games has been the marketing.</p>\n\n<p>Inadvertent or not, most people know about play to earn titles through the dollar signs on headlines. In reality, it’s only the people who are first to the game and grind it out for big returns.</p>\n\n<p>They then sell up and go. It’s almost like a hit-and-run tactic or passing an increasingly less valuable hot potato down the line. No one wants to be the one stuck with the perceivably valuable digital item when the market decides otherwise.</p>\n\n<p>It’s because of this that many play to earn games are now being likened to pyramid schemes.</p>\n\n<p>Furthermore, at some point, the developers will stop supporting the game. Without a vast system of interoperability between games that will go on, all of these NFTs become useless when the developers pull the plug.</p>\n\n<p>As it costs to keep running online games, if the players go, so will the hosts.</p>\n\n<h3 id=\"are-play-to-earn-games-legit?\">Are Play To Earn Games Legit?</h3>\n\n<p>You can go into a play to earn game, grind for digital assets, and then sell them in its marketplace to get cryptocurrencies, which can then be cashed out as fiat money.</p>\n\n<p>However,<strong> making millions from play to earn software is mostly reserved for the earliest of movers</strong>. Play to earn and NFTs may have sunk in popularity from just a year ago, but major companies see them as the future.</p>\n\n<p>So, it’s unlikely that we’ve seen the last of such creations.</p>\n","date":"8/8/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Play to earn games seem they are here to stay","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/play2earn-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14945"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/play-store-games/"},"strings":{"title":"What Are the Top Play Store Games?","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"360000","description":"<p>The popularity of mobile gaming is rising, as more powerful and engaging titles are transported to handheld devices.

It is the search engine giant's platform for managing its catalog of apps and games.</p>\n\n<p>People can go on, select both free and paid apps, and then download them for use on their Android phone or device.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/playstore-3.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>You don’t just have <em>games </em>on the Play Store, either. Everything from movies to books can be downloaded from this source, directly to your device.</p>\n\n<p>However, the Play Store does have a wide selection of games to download, which can be played on any device with the Android operating system. These titles are known as Play Store games.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-top-10-games-in-the-play-store?\">What Are the Top 10 Games in the Play Store?</h2>\n\n<p>The Play Store is a constantly shifting landscape, with new Play Store games uploaded daily and old favorites holding top spots. At the time of writing this, the top-selling Play Store games are as follows:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Minecraft</li>\n\t<li>Rovio Classics: AB</li>\n\t<li>Stardew Valley</li>\n\t<li>Abi: A Robots Tale</li>\n\t<li>Incredibox</li>\n\t<li>Poppy Playtime Chapter 1</li>\n\t<li>Hot Lap League: Racing Mania</li>\n\t<li>Geometry Dash</li>\n\t<li>Farming Simulator 18</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-the-best-game-on-play-store-right-now?\">What Is the Best Game on Play Store Right Now?</h2>\n\n<p><strong>The best Play Store games are a matter of personal preference </strong>and with so many to choose from, it is hard to pin down one or two titles. Nonetheless, some app games are most definitely worth checking out, based on average player reviews and trends.</p>\n\n<p>Genshin Impact is one of the biggest <a href=\"/en/games/category/free-to-play-games/\">free-to-play games</a> in the world. A <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">role-playing game</a> in the traditional <a href=\"/en/blog/eastern-games-vs-western-games/\">Japanese style</a>. It is unique, as it lets you switch between characters as you play, instead of the standard weapon and stat building systems.</p>\n\n<p>This allows you to build teams to explore a huge and diverse land.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/playstore-4.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>For fans of driving games, GRID Autosport is a must-have title. It is the closest you will get to a real supercar experience on a mobile device and is not that far off from its more powerful PC version.</p>\n\n<p>While it does take up a lot of mobile space, if you want to be firmly in the driving seat, it is an essential download.</p>\n\n<p>Anyone who likes battle royale-style shooter Play Store games should try PUBG Mobile. There are plenty of maps and updates come thick and fast, meaning the game seldom gets stale or repetitive.</p>\n\n<p>It also has a unique number of game modes only available to mobile players, in some ways making it superior to console and PC versions.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-highest-grossing-play-store-games-of-all-time?\">What Are the Highest Grossing Play Store Games of All Time?</h2>\n\n<p>Some Play Store games may not be top of the charts now, but over time have garnered a huge number of downloads. Here are some of the best selling ones of all time:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Gaminator Online Casino Slots</li>\n\t<li>RallyAces Poker</li>\n\t<li>Gardenscapes</li>\n\t<li>PUBG Mobile</li>\n\t<li>Coin Master</li>\n\t<li>Candy Crush Saga</li>\n\t<li>Empires and Puzzles: Match 3 RPG</li>\n\t<li>Homescapes</li>\n\t<li>Roblox</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-games-can-you-play-on-play-store?\">What Games Can You Play on Play Store?</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/playstore-2.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p><strong>It is estimated that 484,329 Play Store games are currently on the store.</strong> These break down into a huge range of different categories, meaning there is something for everyone.</p>\n\n<p>Some app games can be obscure, indie developments that are simple in nature and their graphics. Yet on the other end of the scale, major studios have started to develop standalone mobile titles of their most popular games. League of Legends: Wild Rift and PUBG Mobile are a few titles getting huge popularity and exposure. The most popular categories of games are:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Arcade</li>\n\t<li>Action</li>\n\t<li>Casual</li>\n\t<li>Word</li>\n\t<li>RPG</li>\n\t<li>Simulation</li>\n\t<li>Sports</li>\n\t<li>Educational</li>\n\t<li>Puzzle</li>\n\t<li>Card</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-new-logo\">The New Logo</h2>\n\n<p>The Google Play Store recently hit its tenth anniversary and to celebrate, Google redesigned its logo for the store. This means that as it rolls out, you may see applications and Play Store games with both the old and new logos on them.</p>\n\n<p>The new one has a more subdued palette and is more in keeping with its other service logos. It retains the Google colors, but in a less garish manner.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"redeeming-play-store-reward-points\">Redeeming Play Store Reward Points</h2>\n\n<p>As part of its changes, Google is also testing different and <em>easier </em>ways to redeem Play Store points. These are a reward system for Play Store games and apps that appeared in 2019.</p>\n\n<p>When money gets spent on apps, movies, games, and music, Play Store points come as part of the purchase. The more that gets spent, the more points are given. These are redeemable for in-app purchases in Play Store games, such as skins and loot boxes.</p>\n\n<p>However, recent changes have seen Google experimenting with how consumers can use these points. Some customers have been allowed to exchange them for real hardware on the Google Store, not just Play Store game rewards.</p>\n\n<p>While it is not available everywhere and still seems to be an experiment, it suggests Google may be willing to experiment with rewards in the future.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"policy-improvements\">Policy Improvements</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/playstore-5.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>Changes have also been made regarding the types of paid and free game apps that can go on the Play Store and how they operate. This makes the whole system much more secure and increases the enjoyment level of apps and Play Store games.</p>\n\n<p>One of the changes is a purge of apps that copycat more <em>popular </em>apps. For example, you may see many games that have logos similar to top-tier titles, with names and graphics that also look the same. This is often to mislead people into downloading the app.</p>\n\n<p>Another is set to eliminate full-screen in-app ads. If you use free game apps and Play Store games, particularly free ones, large screen pop-up ads often appear during loading or even gameplay.</p>\n\n<p>While they offer a source of revenue for developers, they are annoying and destroy both enjoyment and usability. With these changes, full-page ads will become a thing of the past.</p>\n\n<p>Finally, the company will make it easier to cancel any paid subscriptions to Play Store games. A clear, easy-to-use method to cancel subscriptions must be included somewhere in the application.</p>\n","date":"8/4/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Play Store Games Guide","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/playstore-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14942"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/gaming-quotes/"},"strings":{"title":"10 Powerful Gaming Quotes from Video Games","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"420000","description":"<p>People are always looking for quotes to help them through tough times, using them to help inspire them and drive them forward when they face tough times.</p>\n\n<p>These quotes can originate from famous speeches, movies and nowadays even gaming quotes have a major impact on people's lives.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>Video games, unlike other forms of entertainment, allow players to live their stories by playing through them (this is especially true for games such as <a href=\"/en/games/genre/rpg-games/\">RPGs</a>).</p>\n\n<p>Some even offer players the option of <a href=\"https://www.gamerefinery.com/chinese-interactive-story-games-the-unicorn-of-the-subgenres/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">choosing how stories progress</a> and end by forcing them to make decisions that can alter the outcome of a story.</p>\n\n<p>This level of immersion often leads to much dialogue throughout games, with some words spoken by characters resonating with the players. In fact, it was Sid Meier, creator of Civilization, whose quotes about gaming show just what gaming quotes can mean to people:</p>\n\n<p><cite>Games were not just a diversion, I realised. Games could make you feel.</cite></p>\n\n<p>Here are <strong>ten of the best gaming quotes</strong> we've come across in our years of enjoying the art form of video games:</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"1.-red-dead-redemption\">1. Red Dead Redemption</h2>\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/pGylF5GgvNQ?start=124\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p><cite>Some trees flourish, others die. Some cattle grow strong, others are taken by wolves. Some men are born rich enough and dumb enough to enjoy their lives. Ain't nothing fair. You know that.</cite></p>\n\n<p>Red Dead Redemption was released by Rockstar Games in 2010, and the words echoed by some of the characters in the game still hit home today.</p>\n\n<p>This one is a lesson we all learn at some point in life not just from gaming quotes. Why do good people get sick when bad people are healthy? Essentially, sometimes life isn't fair and there is nothing we can do to change it.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"2.-bioshock\">2. Bioshock</h2>\n\n<p><em>We all make choices, but in the end... our choices make us.</em></p>\n\n<p>Gamer quotes like this one from the hit 2007 first-person shooter from 2K Games remind us that we all have the freedom to make choices. But every choice we make has a consequence, and that is what we have to live with when a decision is made, which will form the people we become.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"3.-kingdom-hearts\">3. Kingdom Hearts</h2>\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/cHt1Tj6Kes0?start=124\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p><em>I don’t need a weapon; my friends are my power!</em></p>\n\n<p>One of the most iconic game series of all time, Kingdom Hearts has is a crossover title where the world of Disney meets Final Fantasy. And when the motto of Disney is for every smile there must be a tear, you know it is going to pack some serious punches.</p>\n\n<p>This is one of the most inspirational gaming quotes because it reminds us how important friends are. When you have the people you love around you, you are capable of anything.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"4.-god-of-war-3\">4. God of War 3</h2>\n\n<p><em>Hope is what makes us strong. It is why we are here. It is what we fight with when all else is lost.</em></p>\n\n<p>The God of War series is one of PlayStation's most successful exclusive franchises, and this gaming quote comes directly from Pandora as Kratos hears her words in a vision.</p>\n\n<p>Some people think that hope is worthless, but as long as we have hope, there will always be something to fight for even when times look dark. And as long as we have something to fight for, we have a reason to not give up and to persevere.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"5.-fallout-4\">5. Fallout 4</h2>\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/yBFJDXTwUao?start=124\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p><em>The thing about happiness is you only know you had it when it’s gone. I mean you may think to yourself that you’re happy. But you don’t really believe it. You focus on the petty bullshit, or the next job, or whatever. It’s only looking back, by comparison with what comes after, that you really understand that’s what happiness felt like.</em></p>\n\n<p>This gaming quote is so true. Taken from the Fallout series, a game about the world existing after a nuclear apocalypse, it can be hard to focus on what really matters sometimes.</p>\n\n<p>We often take for granted what we have in the present, and don't truly realise what we had until it is gone. We always strive to want more and more, never settling for what we currently have, and then when we no longer have it, we wish we could go back.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"6.-borderlands\">6. Borderlands</h2>\n\n<p><em>Everyone thinks they’re the hero of their own story.</em></p>\n\n<p>This line from the popular Borderlands Series by Handsome Jack can be taken two ways. Some may believe he is saying that everyone thinks the world revolves around them. But we believe it offers a more positive outlook.</p>\n\n<p>Whilst you may not be the hero in your story, you don't just have to be a character in someone else's story. Because we do all have our own stories to tell and they all matter.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"7.-metal-gear-solid-2:-sons-of-liberty\">7. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty</h2>\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/azHIWZxUgPY?start=317\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p><em>Life isn’t just about passing on your genes. We can leave behind much more than just DNA. Through speech, music, literature, and movies… what we’ve seen, heard, felt… anger, joy, and sorrow… these are the things I will pass on. That’s what I live for. We need to pass the torch, and let our children read our messy and sad history by its light. We have all the magic of the digital age to do that with. The human race will probably come to an end sometime, and new species may rule over this planet. Earth may not be forever, but we still have the responsibility to leave what traces of life we can. Building the future and keeping the past alive are one and the same thing.</em></p>\n\n<p>Considering it was released in 2002, Hideo Kojima's stealth masterpiece remains relevant even now. This quote actually happens at the end of the game when Snake is telling Raiden how to live his life, but in many ways, it's a direct message to the player as well.</p>\n\n<p>It's a powerful gaming quote that fits nicely with the previous one because it shows we all have a responsibility to tell stories and leave behind memories of the past.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"8.-half-life-2\">8. Half-Life 2</h2>\n\n<p><em>The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.</em></p>\n\n<p>Released in 2004, Half-Life 2 still remains one of the most critically-acclaimed titles of all time. Valve the team behind it created a literal masterpiece, but they could never follow it up despite cries from fans because they didn't think they could top what they had already produced.</p>\n\n<p>That was until they released the VR title Half-Life: Alyx, which has been dubbed the best VR game released. So we had to include a quote from this one, just to pay homage to the series.</p>\n\n<p>Things don't always go as planned, and that's ok. Sometimes the things that are unplanned actually end up being for the better. So if you ever feel like you're not in the right place, think again, because there is always something positive that can come from every experience.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"9.-the-elder-scrolls-v:-skyrim\">9. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim</h2>\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/mTRmAhu08pA?start=317\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"></iframe></p>\n\n<p><em>I used to be an adventurer like you until I took an arrow to the knee.</em></p>\n\n<p>So this isn't here for any other reason that we couldn't leave it out. <strong>Funny gaming quotes are just as important as serious ones</strong>, and this is one of the most popular to come out of a video game.</p>\n\n<p>Released in 211, Bethesda's Skyrim is still played by millions today, and this quote is one reason that so many remember it fondly. Whilst the sentence itself may not be funny, it gave birth to so many memes and YouTube videos that brought joy to millions.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"10.-duke-nukem\">10. Duke Nukem</h2>\n\n<p><em>It’s time to kick ass and chew bubble gum…and I’m all outta gum.</em></p>\n\n<p>To finish off our list, we're sticking with gaming quotes that are funny to the masses, and this is an <em>absolute </em>classic which was originally released on PC in 1991. It tells us that Duke Nukem means business and it's a quote we all wish we could use ourselves at some point in our lives.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"the-variety-of-gaming\">The Variety of Gaming</h2>\n\n<p>As you can see, we've picked out several quotes from across different genres of video games, and that is not accidental.</p>\n\n<p>That's because no matter if you're into the simplest of casual games, or the most elaborate <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMO RPGs</a>, all games have some words of wisdom to offer - it's all a matter of perspective.</p>\n","date":"8/1/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Gaming quotes to remember","href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/gaming-quotes-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14938"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/gifts-for-gamers/"},"strings":{"title":"The 10 Best Gifts for Gamers","category":"Insights","author":"PLARIUM STAFF","readTime":"300000","description":"<p>It can often be difficult to select the right gifts for friends and family, let alone if they're gamers...

The Gamescom 2022 dates have been released and, this year, the schedule looks just as good as ever. Although there are some notable exceptions from the line-up, the organizers have still created an impressive-looking event.</p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">{{banner:default}}</p>\n\n<p>After two years’ worth of COVID-19 restrictions now a (somewhat) fading memory, gamescom is moving forward with its live/online format. So, get ready to find out what’s on the gamescom 2022 schedule and why it’s such a trade show worth visiting.</p>\n\n<h2>What is Gamescom?</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"gamescom is a huge outlet for gaming fans and creators alike\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/gamescom-2.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>Gamescom, also stylized as gamescom, is a video games trade fair held once a year in Germany.<strong> It’s one of the largest gaming conventions held outside of the US </strong>and it’s a chance for developers to preview their latest creations.</p>\n\n<p>Gamescom also features trade stalls displaying the latest gaming hardware.</p>\n\n<p>The inaugural Gamescom took place in 2009 and was an instant success. Building on the popularity of other gaming trade shows in Europe, such as <a href=\"/en/blog/dreamhack/\">DreamHack</a>, the first event attracted 245,000 visitors. Since then, Gamescom has grown in size and stature.</p>\n\n<p>As well as exhibitors, it features panels, interactive events, and eSports competitions. In fact, as of 2018, Gamescom has been recognized as <a href=\"https://b2b.gamescom.global/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">the world’s largest gaming event</a>, when compared to others in terms of exhibition space and visitors.</p>\n\n<p>Today, 370,000 people flock to Germany every August to see over 1,000 exhibitors from more than 50 countries.</p>\n\n<h2>Where is Gamescom?</h2>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img alt=\"gamescom takes place in Cologne (Köln), Germany\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/gamescom-3.webp\" /></p>\n\n<p>Gamescom has traditionally been held at Koelnmesse Exhibition Center in Cologne, Germany.</p>\n\n<p>However, with COVID-19 affecting live events across all sectors in 2020 and 2021, the organizer of Gamescom, Game – Verband der deutschen Games-Branche, was forced to adapt. 2020’s event took place entirely online.</p>\n\n<p>Then, with restrictions easing in 2021, a hybrid format was adopted. That meant parts of the trade show took place at Koelnmesse, while other parts of it played out online. Gamescom 2022 will also use the hybrid format.</p>\n\n<p>Look through the Gamescom 2022 schedule and you’ll see that there are live streams set up.</p>\n\n<p>These live streams will broadcast talks taking place inside the exhibition center, which means everyone, regardless of whether they’re attending in-person or online, can hear from some of the gaming industry’s most influential figures.</p>\n\n<p>As well as online streams, Gamescom also features community areas, cosplay, and interactive exhibits for those who visit Germany’s Koelnmesse Exhibition Center.</p>\n\n<p>Therefore, we can say that the online/live dynamic introduced in 2021 was successful and will likely continue for the foreseeable future.</p>\n\n<h2>What Are the Gamescom 2022 Dates?</h2>\n\n<p>This gaming convention typically takes place in August and the Gamescom 2022 dates don’t break from tradition. For those interested in buying a ticket (prices start at €25) or watching online, <strong>Gamescom 2022 will run from 23rd August to 28th August.</strong></p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><img alt=\"Merch at gamescom\" src=\"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/gamescom-4.webp\" /></strong></p>\n\n<h2>Why Should You Visit Gamescom?</h2>\n\n<p>To give you an idea of why Gamescom is popular with gamers, we only have to look at this year’s line-up of exhibits and events:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The opening night will be hosted by gaming journalist and presenter, Geoff Keighley.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Live talks and panel (will be streamed)</strong></li>\n\t<li><strong>Gamescom EPIX</strong> – A social game where participants have to solve puzzles and complete tasks to unlock tools and features. These tools and futures can be used to stop a mystery virus infecting the show’s Electronic Protective Intelligence (EPI) system. Stop the virus and you can earn rewards that can be used at Gamescom.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Community Areas</strong> – visit one of the seven different areas throughout the trade fair:\n\t<ul>\n\t\t<li>The Entertainment Area is where you can play the latest games, including <a href=\"/en/games/genre/mmorpg-games/\">MMORPG games</a>, as well as titles that are yet to be released.</li>\n\t\t<li>The Merchandise Area is where you can buy all types of gaming equipment, memorabilia and clothing.</li>\n\t\t<li>The Retro Area is where you can find over 200 classic arcade machines, home computers, handheld gaming devices, and automats.</li>\n\t\t<li>The Indie Area is where you can learn about and play the latest games, including <a href=\"/en/games/genre/action-games/\">action games</a>, from independent developers from around the world.</li>\n\t\t<li>The Gamescom Campus where you can talk to companies about career and training opportunities within the gaming industry.</li>\n\t\t<li>The Family and Friends Arena is where you can meet up with people, relax, or engage in some friendly competitions.</li>\n\t\t<li>The Cosplay Village is where you can embrace your creative side and hang out with other people who enjoy dressing up as popular characters from the worlds of gaming and sci-fi movies. As well as dressing up and hanging out, according to the organizers, the Cosplay Village will host music acts, live shows, artwork and much more.</li>\n\t</ul>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<h2>Plenty of Fun for All at Gamescom 2022</h2>\n\n<p>As you can see from the Gamescom 2022 schedule, there are plenty of things to keep you entertained over the course of six days. Alongside the scheduled talks, opportunities to play games, and stage shows, Gamescom 2022 will feature hundreds of exhibitors.</p>\n\n<p>Basically, if it’s happening in the world of gaming, you’ll be able to find out about it at Gamescom. What’s more, you’ll be able to get an insight into what the future of video gaming will be.</p>\n\n<p>You can scroll through the list of exhibitors attending Gamescom 2022 and you’ll see companies from all over the world, including HandyGames, SEGA, THQ Nordic, and Bandai Namco Entertainment.</p>\n\n<p>Three major players in the gaming industry that won’t be attending Gamescom 2022 are Nintendo, <a href=\"https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/playstation-will-be-avoiding-gamescom-2022-3253159\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">PlayStation</a>, and Activision. That’s a blow to the event’s organizers, not least because PlayStation has traditionally been one of the biggest exhibitors.</p>\n\n<p>Other than public statements confirming they won’t be part of the Gamescom 2022 schedule, Nintendo, PlayStation, and Activision haven’t said why they’re not attending. The good news, however, is that the line-up of exhibitors and events is still strong.</p>\n\n<p>Maybe it’s not as strong as it would have been had PlayStation et al attended.</p>\n\n<p>However, with plenty of talks, interactive experiences, and, of course, the Cosplay Village keeping people entertained, <strong>it looks like Gamescom 2022 will be another hugely successful event.</strong></p>\n","date":"7/28/2022"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"gamescom 2022 is going to be wild!","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2022/gamescom-1.webp"},"authorAvatar":{"href":"//cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/portal/common/avatars/default_avatar.jpg","sizes":[]}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"14919"}}],"listArticles":[{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/tv-shows-video-games/"},"strings":{"title":"TV Shows Based on Video Games – The Ultimate Guide"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"What TV shows are based on video games?","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/tv-shows-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16286"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/top-casual-games/"},"strings":{"title":"10 of the Best Casual Games to Try in 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The top 10 casual games of 2023","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/casual-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16219"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/top-castle-games/"},"strings":{"title":"Five of the Best: Top Castle Games for 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"Check out the top Castle Games!","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/castle-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16214"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/windows-games-on-mac/"},"strings":{"title":"How to Play Windows Games on Mac: A Complete Guide"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"How to play Windows games on Mac","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/windows-games-mac-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16213"}},{"links":{"link":"/en/blog/best-puzzle-games/"},"strings":{"title":"The Best Puzzle Games for Adults in 2023"},"images":{"preview":{"alt":"The 15 best puzzle games to play in 2023!","href":"https://cdn01.x-plarium.com/browser/content/blog/images/2023/puzzle-games-1.webp"}},"template_options":{"compositeId":"16206"}}]},"components":{}}},{"name":"widget-articles-aside-promoted-game-v3","type":"widget-articles-aside-promoted-game-v3","model":{"links":{"url":"/en/plarium-play/download-user/?plid=885739&pxl=seo&appId=27","urlForGamePage":"/en/game/raid-shadow-legends/","googlePlayUrl":"https://app.appsflyer.com/com.plarium.raidlegends?pid=SEO&c=749089","appStoreUrl":"https://app.appsflyer.com/id1371565796?pid=SEO&c=749088&af_siteid=HomePage"},"strings":{"title":"RAID: Shadow Legends","subtitle":"Collect 700+ 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-articles-subscribe-v3","type":"widget-articles-subscribe-v3","model":{"links":{},"strings":{"title":"Subscribe to the Blog","errorInvalid":"Invalid email address.
