Dota 2

Following Fortnite: Battle Royale with Dota 2 in a list of free online games illustrates perfectly that today, free doesn’t have to mean limited. Both games offer vast experiences that could warrant large price tags. Dota 2 is a MOBA game, which means the strategy game action takes place in a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. This genre is incredibly popular and Dota 2 is one of the original MOBA big hitters. In Dota 2 teams square up against each other, set up their defenses, and then try to take each other out. The action is fast and addictive.

Match the tiles to clear the board. It really is that simple. Mahjongg Candy is also available on iOS iPhones and iPads, and Android smartphones and tablets.

You can either play as a guest or create a game ID to use every time you play. This simple pool simulator doesn’t have complex actions like putting a spin on the cue ball, but it is lots of fun.

Bubble shooter

Bubble Shooter

Bubble shooter is an absolute classic shooter game. You sit at the bottom of the screen with your bubble cannon and above you sits an army of bubbles slowly coming to get you. You need to fire your bubble in the hopes of matching up with other bubbles of the same color. If you match up more than three bubbles of the same color, they’ll pop. It’s as simple as that, pop all the bubbles before they get to the bottom of the screen.

MOTO X3M

You’ll need to jump and flip your way through all the life-threatening obstacles you come up against. This game is fun and frustrating in equal measure. You’ll love this racing game.

Outspell

Outspell

If Daily SuDoku is your number puzzle game then Outspell is your word game. The game is a copy of the classic board game Scrabble. You get six tiles, each with a letter and with a corresponding number of points you’ll score if you can use that letter to spell a word using the tiles already placed on the board. You play against the computer.

Jigsaws

Another classic board game style puzzle you can play online for free is a good old jigsaw. You can find plenty of free jigsaw puzzles online. You can even set the difficulty by selecting the image of the puzzle and how many pieces it will have.

Wrapping up

So, there you have ten free online games. We’ve tried to look deeper than the likes of Klondike Solitaire and Freecell to bring you a broad mix of games for you to play. Remember too, that the first two games we mentioned are completely free-to-play. The only thing that sets them apart from the rest of the list is that you need to download them first.
