13 Notable NFT Games in 2022

After the great success of the NFT game Axie Infinity, a number of other interesting NFT games are gradually appearing. Here are 13 names that will resonate in 2022.

GameFi, Play-to-Earn or NFT game are terms that describe a newly launched gaming category that has gained an edge over others thanks to the success of groundbreaking games like Axie Infinity. In 2021, Axie is essentially going from zero to 2.3 million daily players by the end of the year. During the same one-year period, the market value of Axie Infinity’s AXS token has skyrocketed from $0.57 to $75 at press time – a 150x increase in one year.

While Axie is the unmistakably perfect example of the burgeoning NFT gaming market, there are a few other games that enthusiasts and investors alike should keep an eye on.

According to Swedish YouTuber and NFT games expert Anders Björk, here are 13 NFT game projects working on different platforms like Ethereum and WAX that are worth watching and of course should be played in the coming year.

“I have a vision of fully functioning gaming economies where people make a living playing these games, having fun and living in virtual worlds. I think we’re getting closer to a reality where ordinary people can play games to make a living. This will change the world in ways no one could have imagined.”

According to Björk, all of the games on the list below are made by teams with strong track records and/or experience in the game development industry. The list is divided into 3 categories: fully playable games, alpha/beta versions and upcoming games.

Mir4 appears on this list mainly because it is one of the most graphically interesting games out there. Mir4 is free to play on Steam so you can just try it and decide for yourself.

The Uplift World – Minecraft Mod

Uplift World follows an ingenious path when it comes to the NFT game genre. They took an interesting gaming platform and built NFT accessibility on top of it. Minecraft is a super hit game that has stood the test of time.
