Best Web3 games

Games built on on-chain ownership, judged as games.

Web3 games are the most uneven category we cover, and we apply the same test here as everywhere else: is it a good game before you account for the token? Most are not. The ones listed below are here because the mechanics stand up on their own and the on-chain layer does something the game actually needs, usually a genuinely player-owned economy.

We do not report token prices, we do not link to marketplaces, and nothing on this site is financial advice. If a game is only interesting as a yield, it does not belong in a games directory.

What to expect

  • Real, tradable ownership of in-game assets, with the volatility that implies.
  • A wallet requirement in most entries, and an upfront cost in some.
  • Uneven quality across the wider category. We list very few of them.
