Although gaming can be an expensive hobby, there are also plenty of options that are more accessible to those without powerful PCs.<\/p>\n

Considering this, here are some of the best games that you can run in your browser.<\/p>\n

A Dark Room<\/a><\/h3>\n

A Dark Room is a text adventure game that resembles classic text-based PC games from the 70s and 80s.<\/p>\n

The game starts in a dark room and gives you the single option to start a fire.<\/p>\n

As you stoke the fire and keep it burning, the story develops, and more gameplay options become available.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Cardgames.io<\/a><\/h3>\n

Cardgames.io is great if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for but you just want to kill some time.<\/p>\n

The website includes a myriad of primarily card-based mini-games, like Freecell, Go Fish, Rummy, Solitaire, and Yahtzee.<\/p>\n

Other games include Mahjong, Sea Battle, Checkers, Chess, and Sudoku.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Celeste Classic<\/a><\/h3>\n

Before Celeste became the popular platformer that it is now, there was Celeste Classic.<\/p>\n

You can still play this first iteration of Celeste in your browser, which proves to be just as challenging as the complete release.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t played Celeste yet, this is the perfect opportunity to see if you’d be interested in buying the full version.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

QWOP<\/a><\/h3>\n

QWOP is a strange simulation game that lets you control the thighs and calves of your track runner.<\/p>\n

The goal is to finish a 100-meter sprint without sending your runner straight to the emergency room because of a skull fracture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Skribbl.io<\/a><\/h3>\n

Skribbl.io is one of the games that kept my friends and I entertained throughout the pandemic.<\/p>\n

It’s an online multiplayer version of Pictionary, where each player gets a chance to draw a selected word.<\/p>\n

The rest of the players then have to guess what the artist is drawing, with the first player to guess correctly getting the most points.<\/p>\n

If you have a bunch of friends that can’t draw, this game is bound to be absolutely hilarious.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Slither.io<\/a><\/h3>\n

Slither.io is a multiplayer version of the classic Snake mobile game.<\/p>\n

Players have to consume pellets to increase the length of their snake’s body, and slithering into another player will reset all progress.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Sort the Court<\/a><\/h3>\n

In Sort the Court, you are the King of an up-and-coming medieval kingdom.<\/p>\n

Your task is to either say yes or no to a host of individuals’ requests, ranging from cats, chickens, purple blobs of mold, wizards and more.<\/p>\n

Sort the Court is a surprisingly engaging little game that will make you consider all kinds of decisions to keep your people happy and your kingdom wealthy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

There Is No Game<\/a><\/h3>\n

In There Is No Game, your goal is to do everything in your power to upset a narrator who insists that you won’t find the game you are looking for.<\/p>\n

There Is No Game is a cunning play on inverting what we’ve come to expect from traditional video games, and it still manages to deliver an enjoyable and entertaining experience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Threes<\/a><\/h3>\n

Threes is a numerical puzzle game similar to 2048 that tasks the player with stacking equivalent numbers on top of each other.<\/p>\n

Players can only move up, down, left, or right at a single time, with new tiles spawning every turn.<\/p>\n

The game is over when you run out of room, after which you’ll have to start again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Townscaper<\/a><\/h3>\n

The browser game Townscaper is a barebones version of the popular indie title by the same name.<\/p>\n

This game is excellent if you have some time to spare and just want to play a relaxing, creativity-coaxing city-builder \u2014 who knows, it might persuade you to buy the complete Steam<\/a><\/strong> version.<\/p>\n
