Every new cryptocurrency cycle promises to bring Web3 games into the mainstream, but it has never happened.

However, since 2018, 80% of Web3 gaming projects have failed. This time is different, and I hope it will be so.

I feel optimistic because we finally have the infrastructure - cheap, fast, and scalable blockchains - that are necessary to provide players with a frictionless experience.

Combined with the upcoming bull market frenzy, we may very well see many games reach insane valuations, just like Axie Infinity did in 2020 (with a market cap of $25 billion).

All of this is quietly beginning, take a look at some of the growth that has happened in the past 30 days.

So today I want to share the 8 best Web3 games that personally interest me, and I believe you should also pay attention to them.

Disclaimer: Some of the following projects involve tokens. This article is not investment advice, and I do not even own these tokens.

Illuvium( Immutable)

Illuvium is a sci-fi NFT gaming ecosystem that includes multiple games with a certain degree of interoperability. It features high-quality graphics and offers on-chain advantages such as asset ownership and governance.

Recently, a game called Illuvium Arena from the Illuvium ecosystem was launched on the Epic Games Store, which has over 56 million monthly active users, most of whom are not in Web3.

This marks an important integration of blockchain games into mainstream platforms.

Next, Illuvium plans to launch Illuvium Overworld, an open-world role-playing game (RPG).

Illuvium has prepared for an exciting future through its development over the past few years and during the bear market period.

Shrapnel( Avalanche)

Shrapnel is an FPS (first-person shooter) AAA game developed by Neon Machine game studio, which raised $37.5 million for its development.

Its official release date on the Epic Games Store is scheduled for December and will only be open to early users. Shrapnel plans to fully launch at some point in 2024.

Due to its listing effect, the $SHRAP token has risen by 182% in the past month.

P.S.：Shrapnel's CEO attempted to use company funds to pay off personal debts, causing some FUD...

Echelon Prime (Ethereum and Base)

Echelon Prime is a web3 game ecosystem that recently launched its first game, Parallel TCG, on the Base blockchain.

I am excited about the Echelon Prime ecosystem because of their successful launch of Parallel, a simple card game that does not require a wallet and is free to play.

Parallel is similar to popular card games such as Hearthstone, Magic the Gathering (MTG), or Marvel Snap, providing a familiar experience for card game players.

This game is also available on the Epic Games Store.

Personally, I believe that Echelon Prime, supported by the $PRIME token, is one of the leaders in the Web3 gaming industry.

Star Atlas( Solana)

Star Atlas is a highly anticipated grand strategy game that involves space exploration, territorial conquest, and political domination.

This game is built on Solana and has two tokens.

·$ATLAS: In-game token that serves as a currency.

·$POLIS: The governance token of Star Atlas DAO, which can influence the decision-making process.

I am particularly excited about Star Atlas because it is the first game on Solana and has received support from the entire $SOL community. I expect the Solana ecosystem to continue to grow and Star Atlas is definitely one of the forefront participants in this ecosystem.
