These days who doesn’t play an online game whether it’s paid or free to play? Where each choice has its pros and cons like any other game.
Since I had access to a PC I’ve played some online games, some more, some less, but I’ve tried. Of course, some games I really liked and others I didn’t.
The list I’ve made below will give you a little idea of what I played, what made me play the game, and what made me stop playing.
Ark: Survival Evolve
- Why I started playing: I was curious to know how the world of this game is. I confess that I loved the survival system + crafting + Tame that the game provides.

Black Desert Online

Many of the online games that I tried, many of them I stopped playing for lack of time but mainly for motivation. I think, at least for me, if I’m not motivated to play a certain game I don’t think it’s worth spending my free time on something I won’t have fun.
These days I’m playing Genshin Impact, Elder Scrolls: Online and Overwatch 2 and I confess that I’m having a lot of fun with these games.
