The gaming sector has entered a new era of exploration and innovation with the advent of NFTs. Because of this, the gaming industry as a whole has experienced rapid economic and technological development. The value of the worldwide market for NFTs surpassed $40 billion in 2021, which was great news for the industry and its consumers. This is in stark contrast to "conventional" video game experiences. All sorts of cosmetics, playable avatars, weapons, and other game-related accouterments fall under this category.

2022's most popular NFT Games are as follows:

        1. Axie Infinity

It is safe to say that Axie Infinity is among the best NFT games currently available, and that it is largely responsible for popularizing the genre. This dungeon-crawling RPG proved that NFT games are viable, rewarding, and most importantly, enjoyable. The basic concept is to take care of an Axie like a pet as well as combine it to make more monsters, each of which will carry on the genetic qualities of its ancestors. The rarest Axies may fetch thousands of dollars on NFT markets or in-game.

Silks transports players into the exciting and dangerous realm of pedigree horse racing. The game's horses and jockeys are both represented in-game by NFTs that can be purchased, traded, and interacted with by users.

        3. The Sandbox

The Sandbox is among the most popular NFT games despite the fact that it is, in many respects, less a "game" than a "creative environment." The Sandbox is like a Minecraft or Roblox driven by Non-Fungible Token, where you may play and create games and content. The Sandbox is the only place where you can really own your works and use the SAND token to buy, sell, as well as trade virtual objects, whole games, and more through the system's global market.

        4. Decentraland

Decentraland, launched in 2020, is a digital reality game that aspires to emulate the feel of Second Life as well as Active Worlds. Using the game's specialized software development kit (SDK), players may customize their in-game characters, move freely around the virtual world, take part in a variety of activities, engage in commerce with other participants, as well as add to the game by making their own original content.

        5. Gods Unchained

Since Chris Clay oversaw the Arena mode of Magic: The Gathering, it's no surprise that the free-to-play NFT card combat game Gods Unchained, which opens in a new tab, has a lot in common with Wizards of the Coast's popular tabletop title. Similar to the popular card game Magic: The Gathering Arena, the goal here is to defeat your opponents by strategically combining several cards, each of which has its own set of advantages and disadvantages.

        6. Battle of Guardians

Combatants in the fascinating actual-time, multiplayer, NFT game Battle of Guardians (BOG), which was created on the multi-chain Solana Network and Finance Smart Chain as well as powered by the Unreal Engine, may earn tokens by completing various missions. In this massive gaming universe, players fight in epic conflicts across several realms. In the P2E BOG's one-on-one mode, players compete against one another in an ongoing fight for loot.

        7. DeFi Kingdoms

Among the initial games to combine the benefits of Non-Fungible Tokens with pixelated fantasy imagery was DeFi Kingdoms which opens in a new tab. Imagine Harvest Moon on the Super Nintendo and you get an idea of what this game appears like. Decentralized Finance Kingdoms exemplifies the potential of NFTs in gaming by fusing the underlying usefulness of NFTs with traditional game mechanics.

        8. Splinterlands

Splinterlands, first released in 2018 under the name 'Steem Monsters,' is a fascinating, P2E Cryptocurrency-based virtual card game in the vein of Gods Unchained. Each card in the Hive card game is an NFT, much as those used in other NFT card heavyweights. These cards have actual cash worth, meaning that players may gain money by trading, purchasing, as well as trading. Participants thereafter engage in tactical duels that are simple to pick up but complex to perfect.

        9. Sorare

A Non-Fungible Token-powered fantasy football platform, Sorare which opens in a new tab, has just released a Major League Baseball iteration which has already launched on 19 July 2022. It combines the two concepts into weekly competitions where the cards you use are influenced by the actual results and statistics of the globe's biggest football leagues. Get some trading cards of genuine football players and then choose a team of 5 sports players to compete with each week.

        10.  Illuvium

Illuvium is now an explorable adventure game in which the player explores seven unique alien environments in search of rare and exotic animals to add to their collection. These animals, known as "Illuvials," have special skills that may be honed via training to make them more valuable. Such Illuvials, like other Non-Fungible Tokens and cultivated resources, may be bought, sold, and traded on the market by users.

        11.  Wizards and Dragons: Reborn

The 'Reborn' in Wizards and Dragons: Reborn comes from the fact that the game was developed using the Wool Game's open source code. As a result of the designer's foresight, a dedicated fan base immediately coalesced behind a new game that addressed the original's shortcomings.

        12.  Parallel

As far as graphically impressive NFT games go, Parallel is in a league of its own. With its science fiction game of cards, "Parallel," you may delve into ideas like interspecies cooperation and the discovery of universal truths in an effort to rescue the galaxy. While there are existing Cryptocurrency-based trading card games, Parallel aims to revolutionize the industry with its cutting-edge visuals, compelling stories, and decentralized financing principles.
