10 Awesome Games You Can Play Right Now In Your Browser Without Installing Anything

The image shows a computer screen displaying multiple video game windows arranged in a grid-like fashion. In the foreground are various game interfaces, including a chessboard, a hexagonal tile game resembling Settlers of Catan, a Wordle word puzzle, and what appears to be a first person shooter. The background is dominated by the vibrant colours and designs of the games themselves, creating a visually stimulating and dynamic scene.
Sometimes you have the urge to play some video games, but you don’t have the right hardware with you. Perhaps you’re stuck at work or school, or you have a basic device like a Chromebook. The good news is that there are a lot of games out there where you need nothing more than a web browser to play.

Thanks to Whiskey, You Will Be Gaming on Your Mac More Than Ever

The image shows a dimly lit bar scene, with shelves of liquor bottles blurred in the background. In the foreground, a bottle of whisky, a glass of amber liquid, and a laptop displaying a pixelated video game are arranged on a wooden surface. The laptop's screen showcases a scene seemingly from a retro-style role-playing game, vibrant colours adding a touch of fantasy to the otherwise mature environment. The bar's soft lighting creates a warm, inviting ambiance, contrasting with the focus on the digital world displayed on the screen.
Whiskey is a free app that you can download right now, and use to play Windows games on your Mac. It brings together the WINE compatibility layer as well as Apple’s own Game Porting Kit, while removing all the nerdy setup and hassle involved with both.

So it seems that Whiskey is stronger than WINE!

It seems to be a bit like the Bottles app on Linux. In my own case, Steam on Linux is playing most games that I want to play, but if you want to play games that are not on Steam, then I suppose Whiskey and similar apps would be the way to go.

You can ‘play’ AAA games on a Pi (or anything else) using open source Sunshine and Moonlight

The image shows an adorable cartoon penguin wearing headphones and holding a video game controller. It is positioned in the foreground against a background of a circuit board, with various electronic components and labels such as "Raspberry Pi 5" and "HDMI" visible. The background has a vibrant teal and green color scheme, with streaks of light emanating from behind the penguin, adding a dynamic element to the scene.
Moonlight allows you to play your PC games on almost any device, whether you’re in another room or miles away from your gaming rig.

Moonlight (formerly Limelight) is an open source implementation of NVIDIA’s GameStream protocol. They implemented the protocol used by the NVIDIA Shield and wrote a set of 3rd party clients.

You can stream your collection of PC games from your gaming PC to any supported device and play them remotely (even over the Internet). Moonlight is perfect for gaming on the go without sacrificing the graphics and game selection available on a PC.

Sunshine is a self-hosted game stream host for Moonlight (where you are running the game from). Offering low latency, cloud gaming server capabilities with support for AMD, Intel, and Nvidia GPUs for hardware encoding. Software encoding is also available. You can connect to Sunshine from any Moonlight client on a variety of devices. A web UI is provided to allow configuration, and client pairing, from your favorite web browser. Pair from the local server or any mobile device.

Sunshine can host a game from a device running Android, ChromeOS, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, Xbox One/Series, PS Vita, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Wii U, or LG webOS TV. Run Sunshine on your own hardware. No need to pay monthly fees to a cloud gaming provider. It works with Intel, AMD or Nvidia GPUs.

So yes, you could have a game running on a Windows or Linux or other computer, and be accessing and playing it from a Raspberry Pi or a mobile device.

This is also useful if you have one main gaming computer with a good GPU, but others in the home have smaller computers and also wish to play games.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Relaxing Ambient Third Person Horse Carriage Ride

The image shows a person in a horse-drawn cart traveling down a dirt road. In the foreground is the cart itself, appearing to be made of wood with large wooden wheels. The road is dusty and shows tire tracks from previous vehicles. In the background, there's a railway track running parallel to the road, suggesting a rural or countryside setting. Beyond the tracks are sparsely populated trees and rolling hills, with a bright sun dominating the sky. A wooden signpost indicating directions to different locations is also visible in the distance, as well as some birds flying in the upper right corner.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is an amazing game in more ways that one. But it is not just about gun fights. The scenery, sounds, and numerous small details are truly remarkable.

We are seeing more and more videos of walking or riding across the map because you can roam freely anywhere, and interact (or not) with anyone, or any animals.

The linked video is one example, shot in 4K 60 fps. I’d recommend watching it at least full screen 1080p. If you have headphones, even better, as you will be able to hear all the details of all the ambient sounds.

One day I hope to experience this in proper VR.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

Ich war mir sehr unsicher, ob das ein Spiel für mich ist. Die Optik hat mir pers. sehr gefallen, aber ich wußte nicht, ob mir das #Gameplay gelingen würde. Soetwas kann sehr frustrierend und ärgerlich sein. Ich habe also lange auf YT zugeguckt, um mir ein ein Urteil zu bilden. Hilfreich war dann ein Preisangebot von 47,99 € statt 59,99 €. Fazit: Mir pers. hat das Spiel sehr gefallen. Rätsel von leicht bis äußerst knifflig. Eine schöne, große und spannende Spielewelt die man entdecken kann und um die eine tolle Geschichte aufgebaut wurde. Ich freue mich dieses tolle Spiel gespielt zu haben und kann es sehr empfehlen. 👍

Gameplay

Mithilfe des Tri-Stabs ist es Zelda, der Hauptfigur des Spiels, möglich sogenannte Echos, also Imitate von Objekten und sogar Mostern, zu erschaffen. Dies ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil des Spiels, mit welchem Monster bekämpft und Rätsel gelöst werden können.

Story

Die Bewohner Hyrules verschwinden in merkwürdigen Rissen, die sich auftun. Auch Link fiel diesen Rissen zum Opfer, als er gerade versuchte, Zelda aus den Fängen von Ganon zu befreien. Zelda, welche sich mit der geheimnisvollen Fee Tri zusammentut, muss nun Link und Hyrule retten.
