Looking to take a break from your responsibilities? Or maybe you’re just looking for a new form of procrastination on the internet? Online multiplayer games might be the thing you’re searching for! Here’s a list of online multiplayer games for varying experience levels, so you’re sure to find one that suits you.
1. Fortnite
Battle out amongst dozens of other players until you’re the last man standing. This game involves an island setting and scavenging for weapons and armour, so if you’re a big fan of action and strategy games, then this game might be worth a shot!
2. Heroes of the Storm
Heroes of the Storm (or HotS as it is commonly known) involves an online multiplayer battle arena and is described as a “hero brawler”. The game involves matches of two teams of five, so this gives you the perfect opportunity to invite your friends along for a game and ignore all your responsibilities!
3. League of Legends
If you’ve gone anywhere on the internet, chances are you’ve seen or heard about League of Legends. The aim of the game is pretty simple — destroy the opposing team’s “nexus” or core. What makes this game stand out is the elements of fantasy, steampunk and horror that tie it in nicely with pop culture.
4. DinoRun
Maybe you’re like me and a complete newbie to the online gaming world. If that’s the case, then check out DinoRun. This a no-brainer flash multiplayer game that will provide endless distraction from all your responsibilities. Simply pick a dinosaur character and run for your life against obstacles and protect yourself from extinction!
5. Mope
Here’s another no-brainer game that involves cute animals. Get lost in the world of Mope and work your way up the animal kingdom by eating berries, drinking water and fighting your enemies. This is sure to keep your attention for ages, and will be fun-filled distraction. I mean, how can you resist those cute animals?
6. Counterstrike: Global Offensive
This is one of the most popular online multiplayer games out there, and also one of the simplest. Its premise is similar to a lot of the shooting games you might’ve seen in arcades as a kid. Play this game and you’re sure to meet tons of other people who play it, which will make for a great conversation starter.
7. Overcooked
If you’re a big fan of cooking and bakery games that you can play on your phone, then I dare you to give Overcooked a try. Team up with your friends and make your way through this amped-up kitchen adventure. You’re sure to waste hours away on this game!
8. Call of Duty: WW2
Call of Duty is another straightforward shooting game. The best thing about it is that it comes with tons of spin-off games, so you can literally play this game forever. If you’re looking something to distract you from the real world for a while, then this might be a good bet.
9. NEND (The Never Ending Game)
Do you remember the board game the Game of Life? This online multiplayer game has a similar premise. Basically, all you have to do is survive in the big city by becoming the richest player in the game. Like its name suggests, you’ll be stuck playing this for hours.
10. Overwatch
If you fancy playing the hero and want to try your hand at a game that requires you to play defence, then check out Overwatch! This game requires two teams of six players each, so this gives you another opportunity to round up your group of friends and get everyone involved!
