Illuvium

Illuvium is a role-playing and strategy game, often described as an "auto-battler RPG". Unlike many other Web3 games, which can have simplistic graphics, Illuvium offers good visual quality and deep gameplay. The game features a 3D open world to explore (currently in beta). Very ambitious, but it still has a lot to prove.

Reignmakers

Reignmakers is a game largely inspired by Sorare that focuses on different sports (American football, golf and wrestling). Each card represents an athlete and gamers score points based on their player's statistical performance in a given event or match. What makes Reignmakers special is that it is developed by DraftKings, a long-standing player in fantasy games in the United States.

A number of major video game studios have invested in the project (Ubisoft, Square-Enix, etc.)

Axie Infinity

Axie Infinity is a blockchain-based game where players breed, fight, collect and trade fantastical creatures called Axies. Its appeal largely fell from 2022 onwards when the markets plunged: many players left the adventure because their AXS and SLP tokens (essential for playing) lost a large part of their value.
