Keeping yourself entertained for long can be challenging, especially when you have a lot of free time and nothing productive to do. However, there are certain activities that can keep you busy and entertained for hours on end. For those of you who enjoy online games, there can be no greater joy than putting on your headset and playing your favorite games. Irrespective of whether you are a beginner or a seasoned gamer with more time on your hand, you can benefit from our list of games that will keep you hooked for hours.

The list includes a diverse genre of games, from modern RPGs (role-playing games) to FPS (first-person shooter) titles, and more. When compiling the list, we noted the games’ sales, read their reviews, and the overall impact on the gaming community.

With the games listed below, you can wile away your time at home and entertain yourself for long hours. Without further ado, let’s begin!

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

Animal Crossing is an excellent time killer and for more than one reason. During the start of the game, the player arrives at a small island with no personal possessions. The player gets a house on a mortgage, which s/he has to pay back by selling fruits, fish, and performing simple tasks. Players can perform routine tasks such as buy clothes, grow fruits, build homes, and invite neighbors during the game.

The simplicity of the game appeals to gamers, old and young alike. As you proceed in the game, new characters arrive with different personalities and interests. Players get a sense of accomplishment as they visit the village and encounter the various characters in the game. 

Animal Crossing is free to start; however, the game does offer in-app purchases. Moreover, it also requires a stable internet connection for seamless gameplay.

80 Days:

80 Days is a strategy-based fiction game where you try to travel the world in 80 days or less. As you race to accomplish the mission, you’ve to observe your health, analyze your finances, and keep an eye on the time.

Players can choose their route and take a travel medium of their choice. The game offers a wide variety of travel options, including airship, submarines, stream trains, horses, camels, and more. 

80 Days enables gamers to delve into a techno-fantasy and traverse cities, sail oceans, trek the mountains, and take voyages that their real circumstances may not allow. The game was initially released on the iOS platform and was later made available on Android Play Store and Windows OS.

Grand Theft Auto Online:

Grand Theft Auto Online (GTA Online) is a multiplayer action-adventure game among the best addictive games ever produced. The game features vibrant graphics, improved gameplay mechanics, and action-packed missions. 

GTA Online enables the players to acquire properties, businesses, and compete with other players, ensuring an immersive experience. Despite the engaging nature of the game, many people are also bothered by the extreme degree of freedom and lawlessness offered in the game. However, it is one of the main reasons why this game is so addictive.

The game involves a mafia storyline with features like in-game radio stations and a first-person view to make it appealing.

Asphalt 9: Legends

If you are into arcade racing games, you certainly cannot miss Asphalt 9: Legends. Like its predecessors, the game includes a plethora of different cars to unlock, a wide range of events, and an engaging online experience. 

It also includes a few extra features over the Asphalt 8: Airborne. Gamers can get access to premium cars and enjoy excellent graphics with robust mechanics. The game is addictive in nature, and above all, free to play.

9 Ball Pool:

Those players who might crave for the classic pool game can try 9 Ball Pool by Unlimited Gamez Mo. It is a simple yet challenging game that tests your cue skills. The game is a dynamic take on the classic pool and offers a realistic experience with quality graphics and excellent visuals. If you want to enjoy a realistic billiard experience, look no further than 9 Ball Pool.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG):

PUBG took the world by storm upon its release in March 2017. The game saw a huge number of players logging in to play even when in beta; however, the release of PUBG Mobile took it to new heights. 

The game seems pretty ordinary at the outset, but it starts to shine as you proceed and play with your friends. PUBG offers plenty of heart-thumping moments as you hear gunfire and enemies’ footsteps scouting your building. The game is so addictive that as you finish it, you may feel physically drained and even sweating. You only have to experience it yourself to understand fully.

Pokémon Go:

The last game on this list, but equally deserving any other spot on the list, is Pokémon Go. The game is only four years old and is already one of the most played mobile games of all time. The reason behind Pokémon addiction is that you play it in the real world. Gamers catch Pokémon and compete for points and prestige.

While the game kept the players hooked for hours, it also received a fair amount of criticism. A source stated that almost 300 crimes were linked to Pokémon Go in the UK during the first month of its release. Whichever side of the argument you take, there is no denying the fact that the game’s addictive nature lends it a place on this list.

Wrapping up:

Online games can be a good rescue if you have time on your hands and nothing to do. This list provides a glimpse into the beautiful world of online games that you can play, either alone or with friends. However, it is advised to set a screen-time limit to ensure that you don’t miss other essential tasks.
