The pandemic has forced everyone to stay at home, which also forced us to change the way we live. We're now dependent on online services and platforms for work, education, and entertainment. And when it comes to the latter, online mobile games are one of them. So, if you're a new gamer and looking for games to play with family and friends, here are some recommendations.

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang by Moonton, or simply known as Mobile Legends, is one of the most popular mobile games in the market. It's a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game where two teams with five players each battle it out to be the first to destroy the enemy's base.
