Pluck It
Pluck It, as the name suggests, is a game about hair plucking. While it may sound weird, this game is actually pretty fun, but really weird. You get to pluck a lot of hairs and experience over 30 different emotions, and there’s an easter egg once you finished the game. It was developed by Feeling Game Company Ltd.

Genshin Impact
Come play this free-to-play, open-world, gacha game that everyone is talking about right now! Players take on a journey as a traveler, which needs to go through and complete quests to find a lost sibling and understand the truth about the primeval gods. They may unlock up to 24 characters, play with friends through the multiplayer mode, and control over one of the seven natural elements. Do take note that you will need to grind a few levels to unlock the multiplayer feature. One feature that we like the most here is its crossplay capability, allowing players to enjoy it across gaming consoles, desktops, and mobile.

Valorant
Riot Games’ latest multiplayer FPS game features 13 playable agents, which can be categorized as Duelist, Controller, Initiator, and Sentinel. Each character has special skills that help defeat enemies. Players are grouped into two teams with up to five players. The game’s main objective is to plant a spike in the enemy’s site, kill enemies during gunplay, use tactical abilities, and defend your team’s base when the base gets switched. Players may buy primary and secondary weapons, as well as special skills before the round starts. It’s basically like CSGO, but with a twist. The first team to dominate by 13 rounds wins. Although it is free, new players should make a Riot Account first and sign-up before downloading and installing the game.

League of Legends: Wild Rift
This free-to-play, 5v5 MOBA game is set on Riot’s lore. Technically, it’s League of Legends playable on Android and iOS devices. This gives League of Legends players an advantage, giving them extremely familiar gameplay with champions and spells similar to the PC version. The objectives are the same, and the map is somewhat similar as well. Currently, the game is available in Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Timor-Leste. Open beta access has started months ago in other regions such as Europe, Oceania, North Africa, and the Middle East. Just like Valorant, Wild Rift also requires a Riot Account.
Mobile Legends
Last on our list is another 5v5 MOBA game by Moonton, the famous Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. Since its launch last 2016, the game has brought many improvements in the game, including revamped versions of its original heroes, new skill sets, background stories, and appearances. The game has recently named its latest Philippine ambassador, Manny Pacquiao, and teases a new character based on the boxing champion.
And that’s it. Some of these fresh game titles are free and come with light system requirements, making them more accessible to almost everyone. Have you tried playing any games on our list? Let us know in the comment section down below!
