Tetris is a classic game that continues to thrive even now, and you’d be surprised to know that a lot of the skilled old-time players are going head-to-head and even schooling some of the new generation players! 

There are a lot of online Tetris sites and platforms, but we feel that TETR.IO stands out from most because of its overall quality, the freedom you feel when choosing different game modes, and most of all, it’s free!

We personally love the Zen Mode, it’s so calming especially when you have the right music on.

Five game insights we think will pique your interest!

A lot of people love cooperative games. Not just multiplayer, but cooperating with others to do something and just having fun together and admiring the result of working as one. Different Strokes is a free art game for all kinds of creative folks. There are no bad pieces here, just let your brush roam free and help others finish their art, or let them help finish yours.

To get started, just go around the gallery and find blank or unfinished canvases!

Have you ever wanted to play Super Mario with your friends online without downloading or paying for anything? Well, look no further, Super Mario Bros. Versus is what you need! We highly recommend playing some fun games with your friends first before stepping into a stranger’s lobby, as we got washed by the more experienced players here. Haha!

Do you love search and find games? Do you enjoy rhythm games? And do you want to listen to calming, lo-fi music while you’re at it? Lo-Fi Room is the charming blend of everything we just mentioned.

Want to play something that has both tactical strategy and a bit of action? Shogun Showdown is quite a well-made game that is a perfect mix of modern roguelike and tactical turn-based elements. Some of the levels here are quite challenging, and it feels great being able to move on the fly and choosing the right moves for each scenario.

What a moment in time we’re living in right now. Back in the day, video games could have only been made by major companies like Sony and Nintendo. But now, with the advances in technology and information sharing, people all around the world can make high-quality games within the comforts of their homes.

With that in mind, here’s a fitting quote from Ralph H. Baer, an American inventor, game developer and engineer:

“Inventing video games was just one successful thing I had done among many others.”
