An entire solar system to defend and hundreds of weapons to master

It will be the end of your free time
Those who were lucky enough to try this game in the glorious era of the Nintendo DS would know this The world ends with you (TWEWY) is a quirky and unique RPG with a captivating story and engaging gameplay, yet a time-wasting game that enslaves players for hours.

League of Legends
The road to Challenger is a slippery slope
Every competitive player has tried a MOBA game at least once and league of legends, it's among the best in the genre, despite all the things that tend to go wrong when ten competitive players go head-to-head in team matches that last half an hour (sometimes longer). From jungle to support, each role is a key element in this dance of death towards supremacy, destroying the opposing team's lanes and capturing their Nexus before their strongest player snowballs into an unstoppable monster.
After trying out hundreds of builds and testing every champion in LoL (there are over 150 to choose from), players will feel like they've spent years of their lives in a single game; some might actually do it. It's so fun and rewarding that it will be really hard for players to stop at just one match, even more so if they're on a roll.

ARC Raiders
Games like ARC Raiders only happens once in a blue moon. An extraction shooter that integrates the best of Battle Royales with a PvPvE focus where anything can happen.

Anything can happen on a surface where ARC AI enemies roam, and if players aren't careful, they can go round after round without noticing that time is passing.
The guys at Embark Studios have done everything right with this title, and players will struggle to navigate the many interesting mechanics.

Everything in the game can be looted, eradicated and remade, making it easy for those who persevere and keep trying without giving up after losing their rare gear to climb the power ladder.
