The “Metaverse” exploded in the past few months, but it’s not too late to join the party. Here are the best Metaverse games to play in 2022.

NFT games have been around for quite some time now. Most of these NFT games have now expanded into a world we know as the “Metaverse.” The Metaverse helps connect the numerous crypto games into an augmented and virtual world.

Now I know that the recent dips in almost all cryptocurrencies aren’t that enticing. This includes huge decreases in prices of Metaverse games and other crypto games across the board. However, these dips actually present a huge opportunity to play while earning.

Metaverse prices are very low, making it very easy to enter these games with a low-risk, high-reward scenario. The prices of these games are nowhere near their highest points just a few months ago. This presents you with a long-term investment opportunity that can allow you to get insane returns on your investment within a year or two.

Play and collect crypto from these games and get ready to cash out when the bull market comes. Alternatively, you can just play the game and earn what you can now. We’ve created a list of the best Metaverse games for 2022 to help you find out which one you should play or invest in.

15 Best Metaverse Games for 2022

Here are some of our picks for the best Metaverse games for 2022. These are the games that we think will become relevant and solid in 2022.

1

Axie Infinity (AXS)

Number 1 Metaverse Game

Starting the list is none other than Axie Infinity. Axie Infinity was released back in 2018 but has recently surged in popularity. People have been earning a lot of money from the game, and it is a staple in the NFT gaming industry.

Even though it has lost some of its hype because of the dips across all Metaverse games, it’s still one of the most solid ones in the market. The developers still have some fantastic game development plans, making it still one of the top games for years to come.

2

Decentraland (MANA)

The MANA coin is another crypto that exploded earlier this year and reached new all-time highs. Decentraland is the first fully decentralized world. It’s actually quite similar to sandbox-type games, where you can play, create, build, explore, and much more.

To start playing Decentraland, all you need is a digital wallet such as Metamask and your preferred web browser. After that, you can already explore the digital world of Decentraland and start participating in events or chatting with other people.

It partnered with well-known brands such as Atari, TIME, Care Bears, The Smurfs, Snoop Dogg, The Walking Dead, and Adidas. The Sandbox Game’s partnerships with these brands helped make it become one of the best Metaverse games to play and watch out for in the future.

  • So far these games look lame. Give us one game that serves as a new operating system, and computer, to take the place of personal computers, that allows for writing code, and building mechanics, and modding and forging, something that allows you to acquire a license through in game currency, that can be translated to real money.

    And with that license you can create a world, bar, space station, colony, etc, for differnt properties.

    Give us a current gen version of the oasis, but better, because you could use a pc in the world, even access your own microsoft computer and os, along with being able to customize exactly how you will play, depending on your style you could choose 3rd or 1st person gameplay, Use the technology presented in that matrix game trailer from a few weeks back.

    Have facial rec technology to track facial movements, and allow for any kind of look possible, from cyber punk, to world of warcraft, license pokemon games, zelda, halo, and make vehicles, and world available for racing, traveling, and keep it decentralized and open source so anyone could add to it. Allowing modders to create entire planets, for movies like blade runner, the simpsons, a grand theft auto planet, a pokemon planet, a nintendo planet, planet hyrule with all the maps from the previous games, and you can play however you want depending on the weapons you can earn, or buy.

    Like if you wanted, you could acquire the master sword in one hand, and have a light saber in the other for duel wielding, or use the blade runner blasters from 2049 and part 1.

    With a never ending stream of possibilities, and at the beginning, keep virtual realistate reasonable, so people can purchase and grow its value based on where its located.

    A world or galaxy where you can go to arrakis, or tattooine, fly an xwing, or build a flying delorean, or scan your vehicle into the game, and customize that, to use hover technology.

    It wouldnt be that difficult to create a game like this, just depending on the tech people have access to, that can determine how they play, just make it to where they can move normally with video game controllers, like when they have no weapon, xy z a or b, move fingers, or the whole hand, and it moves with your hand, and you can use the joystick to walk or run, but if you have a haptic treadmill, you can use your own body, and release haptics, cause they do exist, for gameplay.

    The tech all exists, you just have to have someone smart enough to create it, and it should be based on the ready player one oasis, where you can look howver you want, only limited by your imagination. And to kick off its release, do an easter egg hunt, that has huge prizes from items, to in game coin, that can be transllater to money. Maybe every 10 digital coins, equals 1 dollar.

    You would have access to youtube, along with streaming your game, creating channels for your character, and even design new weapons you can sell if you can afford the mod for the weapons, and vehicle building programs.

    The metaverse, needs to be one, consistent game, that lets you access all games, and that one game should serve as the operating system for the new interconnected virtual internet, and personal computing.

    It will never reach its full potential until this gets done.

    I want a world thats like tron or ready player one, where you can level up, and get armor, and reach a level of near god hood, with all kinds of differnt abilities, from a kamehameha wave, to flying, telekenesis, enhanced combat skills, it could be limitless.

    All you have to do is make the game, and make it compatiable with vr tech and you have it. Just making the base game and operating system, and fans and gamers will take it from there, and build the world based on the rules, which shouldnt have any. Because it should be decentralized, anything goes in PVP zones, and you can have visual representations of everythiong you can do with a computer, maybe maleware is now a weapon from the game, that infects your avatar and takes the form of a facehugger or something, and you can use traditional armor, or invisible armor, and upgrade it.

    Whoever makes this first, and has avatars that look cool, and not like lame snap chat emoji’s, theyt will be the pioneers of the future.

    Everyone wants the oasis. Everyone wants to go to a vr world when they go online.

    Like leaving this comment, i would have this site pulled up in my visual hud, and the words i speak are typed out, or i can type them myself with a digital keyboard.

    They need to create this, or watch as the metaverse becomes a loosely connected gimmick.
