With a plethora of blockchain-powered metaverse games emerging, online gaming is evolving into a new form. The idea of a fully virtual world where people can interact with one another as they would in the real world is called the metaverse. Video games have in many respects been the forerunners of many concepts that the metaverse hopes to adopt, such as avatars, virtual currency, and the selling of digital goods.
Starting with the three most well-liked and the two newest games, let's look at five thrilling metaverse games you can play this year!
1. Decentraland
A play-to-earn (P2E) game called Decentraland was developed on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain and is based on the idea of a metaverse virtual environment. You can buy a variety of items in the game, including virtual land parcels with the apt moniker "LAND." When you buy these spaces, you receive the LAND in the form of an ERC-721 token, also known as a non-fungible token (NFT).
You are the only owner of LAND since it cannot be duplicated by anyone else, including the Decentraland developers. However, you would need to utilise MANA, the game's official cryptocurrency, to buy LAND on Decentraland.
There are several methods to participate in this game and make money. You could, for instance, buy a place and charge people to advertise there. You could also build facilities, like stadiums, for people to use for events, or you could wait for the LAND's value to rise and then sell it for a profit. Decentraland's MANA has a market value of USD 1.95 billion as of this writing.

2. The Sandbox
Another well-known game in the metaverse that is based on the Ethereum blockchain is The Sandbox. Celebrities like Snoop Dogg, who have staged events and possessed NFT collections in the game, have contributed to its appeal.
Sandbox offers a digital blockchain-powered world where users may buy virtual homes and other items and then resell or rent them for a profit, much like Decentraland does. You have the chance to make money while having fun in Sandbox by renting space, hosting events, and exchanging a variety of NFTs. The native token of the game is called SAND, and it lets you conduct transactions while playing.
Another way to monetize the game is through the Sandbox Game Maker, which allows users to design their own games. Sandbox (SAND) has a current market value of USD 1.82 billion.

3. Axie Infinity
Axie Infinity, a metaverse game based on Ethereum, is arguably the most well-known one right now. The main protagonists of the game are "Axies," "monsters" that players can purchase, nurture, and engage in combat with. The procedure includes gathering various Axies, pitting them against one another, and even creating a kingdom for them to reside in.
The SLP and AXS metaverse coins, which function as in-game tokens and can be exchanged for other cryptocurrencies, constitute the foundation of the game. When you purchase new Axies, engage in battles or adventures, and do other gaming activities, you can use these tokens to trade and earn in the game. You must have AXS 3 or later in order to play the game. The market value of Axie Infinity (AXS) is USD 1.54 billion.

4. Illuvium
The Ethereum blockchain provides the foundation for this Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) Illuvium. After crashing on the alien world Illuvium, players wander through an open-world fantasy setting. In this game, you play the part of an explorer who completes tasks, battles other players and creatures, and captures, trains, and enlists Illuvials—the locals of Illuvium—into your army.
You can earn ILV, the game's native token, through all of these game features and spend your winnings elsewhere in the Illuvium ecosystem. Illuvium (ILV) currently has a market value of $70.3m.
5. LOST
LOST, a real-world escape game firm with headquarters in Hong Kong, developed the first escape room game in the metaverse, called LOST in the metaverse. You can play the game's immersive adventure challenges both online and off, allowing you to move between the real world and the virtual one. While you're at it, you can earn limited NFTs and metaverse tokens.
Historical, mythical, and fictitious occurrences have all served as inspiration for LOST. You unlock treasure boxes, find mysteries, and find hints by solving puzzles and riddles while playing the game. All of these aid in navigating the escape room.
The potential for players to create their own branded escape rooms in the metaverse and the ability to form teams and complete the tasks together are among of the game's strongest features. The game is also inclusive because it has a LOST junior edition that is made for children between the ages of 6 and 14. Children engage in experiential learning as they experience the adventure in LOST junior.
With the introduction of these diverse and wildly exciting metaverse games, one thing is for sure: there has never been a better time to be a gamer. And the fact that playing can earn you crypto and NFTs is just the icing on the cake. So, gamers, don’t waste any time jumping on the metaverse bandwagon as you let your inner investors awaken in the process!
