What to play on the computer when bored? What can you play together on a computer?

Boredom is the scourge of the modern generation. People who grew up on computer games and gadgets do not know what to do at home . Most do not even know what to play on the computer. Meanwhile, there are many applications that are worth a try, despite the up-to-date graphics and outdated gameplay.

Clickers

For those who do not want to strain their brains, but simply want to take their hands, there is a whole special series of clicker games. The idea is simple - you have to use the mouse to click on an object or an opponent as many times as possible. The main plus of such toys is that they play on their own. At a certain point (usually almost at the very beginning) you get a hero who starts clicking for you. Thus, you can only watch and sometimes help your characters. What can I play on the computer from clickers?

1. Cookie clicker. You have to create an empire for the production of cookies. This application is fully browser-based, so you do not need any additional manipulations to install it. Well suited for those who have nothing to do at work.
2. Those who have Steam can offer two options. The first is Heroes Clicker. It has a variety of gameplay, many additional goodies, such as adventure, guilds and artifacts.
3. The second option is more suitable for guys. Sakura clicker immerses you in an anime world full of half-naked girls.

Of course, clickers cannot be called full-fledged games, so for those who want something more serious, we will consider other options for what to play on the computer.

Strategies

The first genre that comes to mind when it comes to boredom. Different people like different genres, but strategies are what allow you to escape from reality and completely immerse yourself in the process. We will start in all the following paragraphs with what to play on a weak computer.

1. "Civilization". Any parts to your taste. One game can last up to a day; you won’t get bored with such a game.
2. "Heroes of Might and Magic." At the moment, there are already 7 parts, many chronicles and additions. If you decide to study the history of this amazing world from beginning to end, it may take you more than one month.
3. Disciples - the second part is not in vain recognized as a masterpiece. And lovers of a good schedule should pay attention to the third.
4. Age of wonders. Three striking parts of the game with its unique combat, spell, and economy system.

By the way, these four games are ideal if you are considering what to play together on the same computer. The step-by-step mode in all presented applications and the "hot chair" mode will allow you to make moves in turn.

For those who prefer to play something new and alone, you can offer a new part of the game Xcom 2. The release date is scheduled for February 5, 2016. The new series is dedicated to the fight against alien invaders already on an enslaved and occupied planet. Judging by the game demos, the sight will be interesting.

Shooters

Another way to pass the evening if you have nothing to play on the computer. Unfortunately, the shooters are mostly monotonous and can only interest fans of the genre. And the choice here is not very great.

In recent years, BioShock, Fallout 4, and Far Cry have been released. The tasks are simple as the world - run and shoot. Variety or fun is unlikely to add, of course. The exception, however, is Fallout, which, according to experienced players, has become a simulator of a farmer and a builder. The game has undergone significant changes, dialogs have been reduced and new economic opportunities have been added compared to the previous parts. So experienced gamers will surely like this game.

Horror

Another genre that has become boring to many over time. There are not so many innovations in this area, and many have already passed many old toys. Of course, you can recommend what to play on the computer when it’s boring, but you’ve hardly heard of these applications.

1. Amnesia. You will come to your senses in an abandoned old castle, not remembering how you got here, nor your personality. Making your way through the terrible dungeons, you will have to piecemeal your memory in order to get closer to unraveling your secret.
2. Outlast. Classic in a new wrapper. Mental hospital, reporter and experimental patients. You can't call the game too scary, but it will pat the impressionable nerves.
3. For those whose computers are not very powerful, we can recommend the game SCP: Containment breach. Wandering through the dark corridors of the research center with unique, creepy and dangerous creatures, each of which requires its own tactics, will force you to drop it many times ... But come back again to die at the hands of the plague doctor or “sculpture”.
4. Over the past year, a classic on the horror genre, Resident Evil, has received a new life on a personal computer. HD Remaster of the first part and a prequel to it - Zero, finally came to a stationary PC, and now every player can enjoy an unforgettable sense of the inevitability of a zombie apocalypse.
5. However, not only reprints deserve attention. Resident Evil: Revelations 1-2 are filled with the spirit of the old parts, but at the same time they carry a particle of the new. These applications should appeal to both old-school and new players.

Adventures

Another genre that should give players pleasure, but rolled to an ugly monotony lately. Of course, there is something to see, but everything gets boring over time.

1. The Witcher. Despite its popularity, this series of games receives mixed reviews from users. Someone admires the plot and gameplay, while someone claims that the reason for popularity is a large amount of eroticism and nudity.
2. Assasin's Creed. A toy, news of which is already tired of everyone. Many parts, but the essence of the plot always remains the same.
3. The Elder Scrolls. A series of games better known to everyone under the name Skyrim. If you have already mastered the last part, you can recommend going back a bit and installing the third part on your computer - Morrowind, with the additions of Tribunal and Bloodmoon.
4. You can add GTA 5 to this list. However, everyone has heard about this game.

Cooperative

All that we described above were games for one person. But solo games are not always interesting. Those projects where you can have fun together bring real pleasure.

1. We start with the not-so-demanding fifth and sixth parts of the same Resident Evil. Undemanding to the characteristics of the computer, they have pretty decent graphics and gameplay. An interesting enough storyline will allow you to spend time together and not get bored for a couple of evenings. And additional modes will extend the pleasure for several weeks.
2. What can you play together on the computer yet? Of course, it is worth highlighting the game Left4Dead and its second part. As in the previous version, you can go through the story together with a friend or play in separate modes and maps.
3. Not bad for a game for two suitable games of the MOVA genre. This is the well-known Dota with League of Legend, and less popular projects, for example, the Russian Prime World.
4. Fans of shooting can indulge in projects such as Warface, CS: GO and Call of Duty.
5. If you are against any kind of violence, you can try out a dance game called Para Pa. Your task will be to quickly press the buttons to the music and to the beat. The cooperative produces very beautiful pair dances and quests are easier to complete, and the effect of competition gives the toy more drive.

However, the two of us are not always interested, especially if your partner "drags the blanket over himself" and tries to control everything, and you are just a doll in his hands. For such cases, there are ordinary online games where you can chat and no one will tell you what to do.

Online

Despite the fact that at the moment online games are stamped in huge quantities, all of them are issued under a carbon copy and are not much different from each other. But even from this porridge you can always choose something to your liking.

1. The first in the list we will put a game that hit the Russian market relatively recently. It's about Black Desert. The modern graphics and developed economic system of this MMORPG captivates and captivates a lot of players. Of the minuses, a small number of classes and excessive requirements for the characteristics of a computer can be noted.
2. Despite everything, SkyForge holds the top in popularity. For fans of a series of techno-magic this game can be a real gift. The only negative, according to player reviews, is the need to spend a huge amount of time on dungeons in order to earn a reputation.
3. Already fading, but still keeping afloat, “Allods” and Perfect World may be of interest to those who have worse computers.
4. Another series of games that deserves attention is the World of ... application family (tanks, warplanes, warships). "Tanchiki", "airplanes" and "boats" are suitable for lovers of realism and military equipment.

Girls

We will separately take out this topic. Often there are questions like: "What to play a girl on the computer?" Yes, in the same way as a guy. We are all the same and ordinary people, we like one thing. However, we have some tips.

1. "Nancy Drew". A series of detective games about a girl who investigates various cases. They are full of interesting puzzles that will have to be worked on more than one day.
2. "Sims 3". A real life simulator that is familiar to everyone.
3. Many flash games will do. For example, a series of Burger Restaurant. You play as a cook and you need to have time to serve all the customers.
4. "Farms", which are popular, by the way, not only among women.

But still...

If you tried all the games that you can, and you still get bored, try going outside. Or go to the cinema. There is nothing better than live entertainment, even if you are an ardent homebody and adore a computer. If you find it uninteresting and boring to play a computer, you may have simply outgrown this age and this hobby, and now it's time to find a real hobby.
