Undoubtedly, you must have experienced at least three of the games below.
1. Adorable Home
Within just a month of its release, Adorable Home reached 5 million downloads on the Google Play Store and secured a spot in its top 10 trending games. The game also attracted a large community on social media platforms, especially Facebook. Adorable Home groups sprang up rapidly, drawing hundreds of thousands of participants in a short time. Moreover, posts sharing in-game experiences garnered tens of thousands of interactions. At that time, screenshots from this simulation game were ubiquitous on social media.
However, shortly after, Adorable Home began to decline and reverted to being just another simulation game alongside its original loyal community. The reason cited was that after a period of gameplay, players might feel bored due to repetitive tasks, and the humorous situations no longer felt fresh.
2. Among Us
Emerging as a phenomenon not only in Vietnam but also globally, there were times when Among Us servers were overloaded simply because of the skyrocketing number of players accessing. First launched in 2018 but failed to achieve the expected results, making Innersloth pay no attention to this offspring. Then, time came rushing in, and 2020 was an explosion year for Among Us.
If you haven't watched or played Among Us before, don't worry too much because the game is quite easy to understand and get familiar with. A round of Among Us can be played with 4 to 10 people. One of the teammates will be the 'imposter,' infected by an alien creature capable of shape-shifting with the goal of deceiving and killing everyone on board. The mission of the remaining players is to reason, eliminate noise, make accurate decisions, and find the impostor.
3. Dota Underlord
This is the pioneering game for the autobattle genre that is currently very popular. At that time, everyone rushed to experience Dota Underlord because of its strange attraction of this genre. Just choosing units and positioning, but the calculation and strategy are like a chess game with different moves. Then, autobattle genre games sprouted like mushrooms, signaling the gradual decline of this game. Partly because Underlord changes very little to increase diversity as well as the inherent excitement that the game has. Right now, there is Teamfight Tactics doing a great job of updating and innovating gameplay each season.
4. Play Together
Surely Vietnamese gamers are no strangers to the 'fishing' game that was once very hot - Play Together. What perhaps excites gamers the most is the community feature of this game, allowing people to meet virtually but still safely.
After a short period of release, Play Together has completely captured the players' hearts with incredibly adorable character graphics and functions that are friendly to our daily lives. Here, you can start a business by helping the police find lost items, helping the janitor pick up trash, or helping the salesperson deliver pizza. Additionally, there are many entertainment functions such as playing mini-games, parties for you to socialize and meet new friends.
However, Play Together still suffers from quickly fading away due to constant server maintenance and limited in-game discoveries that have not been diversified yet.
