In moments of boredom at a lecture at the university, while traveling by public transport, with a long wait for a girl on a date, nothing will help pass a free minute better than games on mobile devices. The so-called massive multiplayer or real-time games are gaining more and more popularity, that is, those in which it is possible to measure strength with relatives, friends or other users. This article discusses the most popular online games on android in 2022.

Brief information on mobile games

Games on the platform of mobile devices every year occupy an increasing share of the global gaming industry. Users opt for mobility, while at the same time, the best gadget manufacturers ensure that the graphic and sound capabilities of their devices match those close to personal computers and game consoles. Probably, you should already get used to the fact that mobile games are not only "Angry Birds" and "Make three in a row" - their physics and gameplay in the near future is unlikely to differ from their older "brothers", and even now some versions of games for Android is not much inferior to computer. The audience of potential players around the world is several hundred million people, so the developers are actively promoting these products.

The Play Market application store gives users the opportunity to enjoy mobile versions of the most popular games for personal computers and consoles, as well as their own unique products. The highest rating among gamers, as a rule, have toys in the following areas:

• action;
• role-playing;
• racing simulators;
• strategies;
• sports simulators;
• arcades;
• desktop and card;
• puzzles, etc.

A significant part of the applications are free, they are easy to download to your smartphone and run anywhere - you just need enough space in the internal memory or on the card.True, it should be remembered that for the development of characters in games, it is quite possible that some financial investments will be required, the so-called "donate" (this model is called freemium). In addition, a number of games are simply replete with advertising, which brings additional income to the developer and greatly annoys gamers. We advise you to download applications only from the official store, otherwise you risk becoming a victim of viruses and trojans. Another important factor is the presence of Russification - not all games are translated into the language familiar to users from Russia.

What are online games?

Nothing beats a good war game or a race run with a big group interacting via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Mobile application developers provide a great opportunity to test your strength not only in fierce battles with "artificial intelligence" in the form of bots, but also with friends or random people around the world in multiplayer mode. Network games are good primarily for the possibility of communication - there are fewer and fewer closed gamers, and some online friendships are turning into real friendships in real life. The most popular MMO (or "massively multiplayer online game") genres of action, RPG, strategy and racing simulators.

Action games are characterized by particularly dynamic gameplay and the need for quick decision-making. As a rule, they have an exciting storyline, a wide selection of weapons, which are the main means of progress, excellent detail and graphics.Most representatives of this direction have a multiplayer mode that can support several options for battles - from team to "royal" battle, where everyone speaks for himself.

Role-playing games on Android are also a very interesting genre. These can be open-world RPGs, anime or fantasy-style games, and even those with a story set in outer space. This direction of the MMO immerses the player in a huge world, where in addition to him there are hundreds and thousands of people from different parts of the world. You can play RPGs endlessly - until you finally get bored or the user servers are suddenly empty.

Racing series for Android is, first of all, dynamics, speed and high-quality graphics. Most games provide the opportunity to develop and purchase cars (in many cases, however, for a fee). The wide choice of race modes and different tracks will not leave you indifferent.

It is quite difficult to compile a list of the best multiplayer games for the Android platform, since almost every game has its pros and cons, and their total number has long exceeded thousands. Nevertheless, below is a ranking of the best online games in 2022, which is based on gamer reviews and reviews of the best specialists.
