Free browser games 【 】

We have listed best games for computer browsers. These online browser games do not require any software installation to play.

Recently, while browsing the web through Chrome, I had to pause my work due to some network connectivity issues. Upon contacting my ISP, I learned that the estimated repair time was around 15 minutes. So during this short break, I decided to give the browser’s hidden game a try: the ever-popular Chrome Dinosaur.

While the objective was simple, to avoid obstacles, it turned out to be much more intriguing than expected. And this made me realize that games browser games they belong to an underrated niche: they usually don’t get the attention they deserve. This then made me go on a scan and I discovered that there are a lot of games that belong to this domain.

Each of them was pretty impressive in their own right, with their own unique and distinct play style. The biggest plus point of these games is the fact that they are not resource hungry. So you don’t need huge configurations related to RAM, graphics card or even hard drive storage.

The best browser games you can play in 2021

All that is needed is decent internet connectivity, which most of you already have checked. That said, there was a wide variety of browser games compatible with Flash that we haven’t mentioned here, as it is no longer supported by any web browser.

So keeping all these points in mind, let’s get you acquainted with the best browser games that deserve your attention.

street skater

Skating has never been my favorite sport and this could be the case for other people, but at least now we have the option to show our talent in this virtual ecosystem.

Putting on the skateboard, performing skills, and escaping from obstacles are the three main prerequisites you need to qualify.

But while it might look easy on paper, it’s definitely pretty hard to execute.

• At the same time, the game has also managed to incorporate some nifty skateboarding techniques.
• For example, you can use a space bar to perform a jump, while hitting it twice will result in a backflip.
• Likewise, using the Shift key will cause the character to perform a wheelie, all while using the skateboards.
• In addition, the sound effects are also in perfect sync with the ever-changing environment of the game.

Just be aware that death will be gruesome, with body parts flying in different directions and drops of blood spilled all over the screen!

Gartic.io

Giving you a platform to showcase your artistic abilities, Gartic calls out your inner Picasso. You will be given a board on which you will have to draw a particular object that the game tells you.

The other players would have to try to guess that object. It not only depends on the imagination skills of other players, but their drawing skills can also be questioned.

However, you have the option to correct your mistakes. There is an eraser and an undo button, so unlike the popular saying, this game gives you a second chance.

• There is a stipulated period of time during which you will have to complete the drawing and others will have to guess.
• If no one can identify the object, both parties are lost. This is because some points will also be removed from your overall count.
• That said, you have the option to play online with other random people or try it out on a local server with your friends.
• The game also has a chat room, where other players could have a discussion about the object being drawn.

However, there have been numerous cases where the user tends to spell the word as time approaches its end. While this gives players some points to play with, unfortunately, it kills the game’s only USP, so decide accordingly!

pokemon showdown

If there is an entry in this list of browser games that doesn’t need an introduction of some kind, it has to be the game that encapsulates these virtual creatures.

Pokémon Showdown is known to get right to the point. You don’t have to nurture your Pokemon, train, or even collect them in the first place.

Likewise, even you as a trainer don’t have to visit any training grounds, practice your skills to train these Pokemons or increase your ranks.

• As soon as the game starts, you have the option to pick up the desired Pokémon of your choice and start the battle.
• You just need to specify the team, and the rest will be taken care of by the game itself.
• Also, if you or your Pokémon are injured to the point of no return during a fight, then there is no need to visit the training center. You could directly start a new fight right away.

However, for some, the addition of this ‘ease factor’ ends up destroying the only foundation on which the actual characters are based. They believe that the game should have added at least some elements of the Pokémon dimension to give it a more realistic approach. Well, we leave this decision up to our readers.

doom

within the browser games, could not miss Doom. This is highly regarded as the game that revolutionized the first person shooter genre and paved the way for future FPS games that we see today.

During the initial phases, you are provided with the most basic weaponry. Then as you progress the enemies keep multiplying but at the same time you will be given a much stronger weapon to deal with them.

Similarly, there would be health kits in the corners that would be his need of the moment.

• However, the best part of this game is the hidden rooms behind the walls. There are no distinguishable walls that can spell any hint as to whether they behold secret vaults or not. Everything depends on the skill and luck of the player in equal parts.
• But once you come across any secrets, you will be rewarded with a large number of offerings in the form of ammo, health, and weapons.
• Plus, there are three different episodes here for you to choose from, each with five difficulty levels, and the Nightmare one takes the challenges to a whole other level.

Just keep in mind that the game first made its way over two decades ago, so you won’t see any frame rates, UI/UX improvements, or graphical tweaks. But one thing that cannot be debated is its immersive gaming experience.

1024

One of the easiest yet most intriguing games on this list, the goal is to make 1024 with the numbered tiles. However, that is easier said than done.

You can only overlap two cards with the same numbers. While the direction of the moves is not fixed, the numbers are, and this is what makes it quite challenging.

Also, when both cards are combined, their numbers are added together. So you will have to keep adding them until you reach all 1024 elite.

• To start, you are given two cards, each with the number 1 on it.
• As a result, the subsequent cards that would be created would be in the shape of 2^2 and so on.
• So, starting from 2, it moves to 4, 8, 16, and so on until the number mentioned above is created.
• New tiles automatically appear after each turn. But once the entire board is filled with no room for any newer tiles (and if you haven’t reached 1024 yet), it will result in your losing.

It’s certainly a great deal that requires our logical reasoning, but for many, interest slowly dwindles once they are able to crack the code, i.e. achieve the goal of 1024.

Line Rider

If you are looking for a practical aspect that fits the phrase “You are in control of your destiny”, there is no easier way to do it than to try Line Rider.

You are given the marker and your task is to chalk the path of the cyclist. You can create any path you want, just try to respect Newton’s laws of motion. Otherwise, the rider could have a bumpy ride ahead.

To help you there are different types of markers, such as ballpoint pen, brush, pencil among others.

• Each of them has a different tip, so you may need to decide accordingly which marker you’ll need to use at a particular juncture.
• Similarly, you can also create different tracks and even add checkpoints along the way.
• Then there’s even an option to record your rider’s entire trip, so you can look at it later and decide if your trip was worth it or should have been the road less travelled.
• Finally, once the track is created, simply hit the play button and watch your pilot in action.

Please note that if you plan to export your game, there may be some issues recording your gameplay through Chrome (due to its rendering engine). Therefore, you should opt for a non-Chromium browser such as Firefox for this purpose.

Agar.io

Reminiscent of the old Snake game, the objectives are a bit similar. You play as a small dot that needs to grow in size by eating other colored dots around it.

As he increases in size, the demand for food also increases, and there would come a point where he might have to eat one of his opponents to survive, after all, it is survival of the fittest.

But keep in mind that they should be smaller in stature than your character, otherwise death is in the cards.

• Similarly, there are sharp edge wheels rolling around, you should also keep a safe distance from them.
• If you end up gaining quite a bit of mass, you can also split your character in two and try to rack up double the points.
• There are also different game modes, including Team Match, so if you find it hard to survive alone, your friends are just a phone call away.

However, the game tends to get quite repetitive and monotonous after a while and hence you may need to look for other alternatives mentioned in the list.

Geo Guessr

Taking clues from Google Street View locations, this game will mark paths from random locations. Your task is to identify the place, which is easier said than done.

The game has a large collection of maps in its arsenal, being those of India, the United States, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

Likewise, it also has a standalone map that has just been stacked with all the popular locations around the world.

• Apart from that, there are also some third party maps that have been selected by users. So one thing is clear: you will never be short of locations!
• Also, once you’ve got the location of that place, just place a flag next to it. The game will give you a score depending on how close or far you were from the actual location.
• The score ranges from 0 if you have placed the…
