6) Project Sekai
Project Sekai comes in at number 6. I gotta be honest here. I haven’t heard of this game before. It is a mobile game for iOS and Android. The game is described as “a rhythm game” in which the main character was transported to an unknown place after playing a song named “Untitled” that suddenly appeared on her phone. It is almost like a guitar hero game, but for vocals only.
5) Final Fantasy
In number five, starting the upper half of this Top 10 Games list comes one of the greatest RPGs of all time. Final Fantasy. Do I even need to explain this one to you?
4) Apex Legends
Apex Legends pop up at number 4. The Battle Royale shooter game was developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts in 2019. In 2021, Respawn Entertainment stated that Apex has over 100 million active players worldwide. The game is available on almost all major platforms including PS4, PS5, Xbox, Switch, and mobile.
3) Ensemble Stars
Taking over the bronze spot is Ensemble Stars. The game is only available on mobile and is also a musical game. The game was developed and published by Happy Elements Limited. The game is a spin-off of the 2012 game Ensemble Girls.
2) Wordle
In second place is Wordle. Here is another confession. I have no idea how to play this. I’ve seen people making posts here and there playing it, but it never really interested me. Wordle is a vocabulary game. Players must guess the right word within six tries and share their results on social media. This one doesn’t surprise me. I see it everywhere.
1) Genshin Impact
In first place of the Top 10 Games Twitter is tweeting about is Genshin Impact. It is an open-world, action-based battle system RPG. The game is free to play. It takes place in Teyvat, a world in which seven nations are ruled by a different God.
