CANDY CRUSH SAGA
Candy crush saga was released by King on April 12, 2012 originally for Facebook. Subsequently, other versions for IOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Windows 10 followed.
In the game, players complete levels by swapping colored pieces of candy on a game board to make a match of three or more of the same color, eliminating those candies from the board and replacing them with new ones, which could potentially create further matches. Matches of four or more candies create unique candies that act as power-ups with larger board-clearing abilities. Boards have various goals that must be completed within a fixed number of moves or a limited amount of time, such as a certain score or collecting a specific number of a type of candy.
The game can be played completely without spending money but players can buy special actions to help clear more difficult boards, with this King makes its revenues. In the freemium model, candy crush saga is considered one of the first and the most successful user.

In 2016, the Candy Crush Saga series has received over 2.7 billion downloads, and the game has been one of the highest-grossing and most-played mobile apps in that time frame. Take a look at what the game look like:
PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS
In these game one hundred players parachute onto an island where they scavenge for weapons and equipment to kill other players while avoiding getting themselves killed. The available safe area of the games map decreases in sizes over time directing surviving players into an ever-tightening space to force wins the round.

As of May 2022, PUBG: Battleground has a total revenue of $13.07 billion making it one of the highest-grossing video games of all time. The interesting thing is that since January 2022 the game has been free to play.
CROSS FIRE
This game is free to play and does not require any money for subscription. It features two mercenary corporation named the “Black List” and “ Global Risk” fighting each other in an epic global conflict. The players must assume either the role of a Black List or Global Risk mercenary, joining an online team that must work together to complete objective-based scenarios. Each mode can support a maximum of 16 players, each divided into an 8-man team except for the mutation and wave modes.
The game features several game modes, each with its unique maps and rules. They are different ranks in the game beginning from trainee with the highest being Marshall. The players progress and eventually be promoted through the various military ranks.
After playing and completing marches, buying premium items that grants bonus or fulfilling certain missions’ players earns a free currency which is called “Game Point” (GP). One thing to know that special items like modified weapons can only be bought using monetary currencies. It varies from version to version.
DUNGEON FIGHTER GAME
From inception, the game was originally planned as a small game as the entire game was developed in five months based on the forecasted life expectancy. However, the response was better than they expected so the budget was increased and the game was expanded.
In the game players fight hordes of monsters. Skills can be designated upon an upper row of hotkeys. An upper row of hotkeys that the player can choose to expand further can be set for skills.
However, a player has the option to manually submit the command to use a particular talent. For instance, a Blade Master has the option to directly type the command for the skill Draw Sword in addition to pressing the hotkey assigned to it.
Directly entering the skill results in a smaller MP cost and a somewhat shorter cooldown (the length of time between uses) than indirect input (which is accomplished by pressing the arrow keys in a specific order and then the basic skill key).
Normally, skills are used independently of regular combos. See below an image of the game below
MINECRAFT
In Minecraft, players explore a blocky, procedurally generated 3D world with virtually infinite terrain and may discover and extract raw materials, craft tools and items, and build structures, earthworks, and simple machines.
Players can cooperate with or compete with other players in the same globe depending on the game style they are playing. They can also combat hostile mobs.
There are several game modes, including a survival mode (where players must gather resources to construct in the world and keep themselves healthy) and a creative mode (where players have unlimited resources and access to flight).
A large range of user-generated content is also available, adding additional game mechanics and opportunities. Examples include mods, servers, skins, texture packs, and custom maps.
AMONG US
Among us is a multiplayer game for four to fifteen players. Although at least five up to three players are secretly and randomly chosen to be the impostor at each round. They are four maps in the games in which a round can take place which are: a spaceship called “The Skeld”a headquarters building called “MIRA HQ” a planet base called “Polus” or an airship based on Innersloth’s Henry Stickmin series called “The Airship”.
The impostors can win the game in two ways either by killing or ejecting all crewmates or by sabotaging a critical system on the map. The crewmates can win the game in one of two ways either by conmpleting all assigned tasks or by ejecting all impostors.
One thing to note that if a crewmates quits the game their tasks are automatically considered completed. Games can also end by players quitting the match if doing so fulfills any win condition. November 2021, additional roles were made available to players extending beyond the standard Crewmate or impostor roles.
Now crewmates can also be guardian Angels, Scientist or Engineers. Crewmates who became ghosts at the course of the game can become guardian Angels, which can temporarily protect living players from being killed. As a scientist, you can check vitals at any time to see if any player has been killed recently and also as an Engineer though they have some limitation can travel through vents like impostor can. Impostor can temporarily morph into other players now and they are known as Shapeshifters.
MICROSOFT SOLITAIRES
Micrososft solitaires is an interesting game and mind tasking. When the game is won , the cards appear to fall off each stack and bounce off the screen. Since the inception of Windows 3.0, Solitaire has had options for customizing the backs of the cards, deciding whether to draw one, two, or three cards at once, switching between Vegas scoring and Standard scoring, and completely turning off scoring.
If the game is won, the clock can be set to add extra points.
When ‘draw three’ is selected, there is a cheat that allows drawing one card at a time.
Right-clicking on empty squares in Windows 2000 and later versions of Solitaire instantly deals available cards to the four foundations in the top right corner, just like in FreeCell.
When a card has the mouse pointer over it, a right click will only move that card to its foundation if moving it is an option.
Until the Windows XP version, the card backs were the original works designed by Susan Kare, and many were animated.The Windows Vista and Windows 7 versions of the game save statistics on the number and percentage of games won, and allow users to save incomplete games and to choose cards with different face styles.
RULES FOR SURVIVAL
The game of Rule for Survival, players fight to be the last person alive. There are two different game modes such as the Diamond mode and the Gold mode. In the Diamond mode players may earn diamond throughout the match while in the Gold mode, the players can earn gold. The players have the liberty to choose to enter the match in different modes which are Solo, Duo, Squad made up of four players or a fireteam made up of five players.
There are two playable maps in the game: Ghillie Island (120 players, 4.8km x 4.8km)
and Fearless Fiord (300 players, 8km x 8km).
In either case, the last person or team left alive wins the match.At the completion of each round, players will receive in-game currencies based on survival length, number of players killed by the player and the players level. The currencies can then be used to purchase supply box containing cosmetics items for character or weapon customization.
