Best Browser Games

Sometimes you don’t have the time to dedicate an entire weekend to a 60-hour-plus Western fantasy game, and that’s fine—that’s what PC browser games are for. Not only are these titles incredibly accessible with a decent internet connection, but they’re also fast to play and faster to finish. They don’t even need expensive hardware to run.

Below are some of the best browser games you can try right now!

Slither.io

As the non-official glow-up version of the classic game Snake, your goal in Slither.io is much the same: eat small dots and grow big. It adds another level of difficulty, however, in the form of other snakes controlled by other players in real time. You’ll have to avoid them. Slither.io snakes have customizable skins you can play around with as well, allowing you to create a snake that truly feels like yours.

Spelunky

You may have heard of Spelunky for Steam and console, but what’s less known is that this game also has a browser version. Spelunky is a roguelike platformer wherein you play as an adventurer making your way through tunnels in search of treasure. It’s notoriously difficult, with many players needing 12 or so hours to reach the third stage, but the challenge will make clearing each level that much sweeter.

Drawize

Drawize plays very similar to Pictionary. One player is given a prompt to draw, and others guess to score points. The faster they do, the more points they earn. The artist also gets points based on the number of people who guess the word correctly. In private rooms, Drawize allows you to add custom words, too—just incase you wanted to add a deck of inside jokes.

A Dark Room

A Dark Room is a clicker game that forces you to navigate its confines with zero instruction. You start with a pitch-black screen and are given an option to light a fire. Eventually, the game will take you to a small community. And once you’ve helped them out, you can leave to explore the rest of the island without running out of food and other resources. From there, how you go about your adventure is entirely up to you.

KeyForge

KeyForge is a card game that distributes decks instead of cards. No two decks are the same—and you can’t change any of its cards, either. This means you’ll never have to worry about meta units or broken combos. The game itself is pretty straightforward: each player needs to be the first to forge three keys by collecting Æmber while using monsters and special cards to prevent their opponent from doing the same.
