Hi I am looking for a **free ** game with simple mechanics, competitive and online is a plus. plus suggest games that don’t require steam, I don’t want to install that software

I used to play vanis.io but people spoiled it by playing in teams while I like playing solo, while other games of the genre (slither, agar, paper.io) couldn’t stick with them

I played mindustry, and wasted tens of hours, until I found out That I was playing campaigns without having unlocked enough research to beat the master, the game didn’t have the right mechanisms to orient me to the winnable campaigns, and I ended hating it for that.

I am a simple guy looking for a simple game to distress (not candy crush simple)

    Consider Chess. LiChess, the site I linked, is free with no ads. You can play on the website or in their mobile app. They will match you against players of comparable skill, so you shouldn’t get annihilated too often. Or you can play against the computer to practice.

      I am not a gamer. very rarely game, and when I do, I use it to distress.

      I’ve seen it on my brothers laptop forcing updates at (almost) every system start-up, taking up more and more space, so I don’t want to clutter my PC with more stuff I don’t frequently use. or with a software that acts rogue on my pc. (I dislike auto-update) that I disabled them on windows even at a security cost.
